Veteran Kumawood actor Big Akwes has sparked outrage with his explosive claims about his hometown, Kumasi. In an interview on Angel TV, he insisted that fraud is deeply ingrained in the city’s culture.
“Anyone born and raised in Kumasi is a scammer,” Big Akwes boldly stated. “From leadership to the average person, including pastors, everyone is involved in fraudulent activities.” He cited examples of phone scams at Kejetia market, highlighting the pervasive nature of deceit.
Big Akwes’ comments have ignited heated debate about Kumasi’s reputation and the prevalence of scams. While some argue that his statements are exaggerated, others see truth in his words.
In the same interview, Big Akwes addressed rumors about his marital history, denying ties to Freda, ex-wife of another actor. However, this contradicts previous reports of their private wedding ceremony in August 2023, which ended in separation months later. Freda recently expressed regret over marrying Big Akwes, calling it “the biggest mistake of my life” he concluded
