Comedian, Lilwin, has always been well
received anytime he mounted the stage to
perform and loud applause ushers him off
stage when he is done with his act.
But last Saturday maybe one of his most
embarassing moments when he was forced
to leave the stage before he was through
with what he had planned to do at the
fourth Ghana Meets Naija concert hosted at
the Accra International Conference Centre.
During Lil Win’s comedy act at the event,
he announced that he was in possession of
marijuana which he said was the best
medicine to cure headache and other
ailments. But before he could explain
further, Lil Win was interrupted by D.J
Black and the former who was obviously
not too happy.
Lil Win who has received a lot of bashing
for putting up such an act has explained to
Graphic Showbiz, that his act was about the
disastrous effects of substance abuse and
not to glory drugs.
“What I had in the plastic bag was not wee
but rather talcum powder, pepper and
leaves. I mentioned “wee” because I wanted
to explain to the audience the dangers of
using drugs. There is no way I would stand
on such a big platform to promote “wee”.
“ For Christ sake, I am a MTN Ambassador
who has a lot of followers and that alone
should tell anyone I wasn’t there to
promote “wee”. It is unfortunate but
maybe, I didn’t get the introduction to the
subject right. I will never promote
substance use.
“I don’t use drugs but I worry about the
young folks who do so and I thought as a
role model, it was my duty to educate
them on such issues when I get the
opportunity. And the Ghana Meets Naija
was a good platform to do just that. It is
unfortunate the organisers thought I was
promoting “wee”,” Lil Win explained.
According to the actor, never has he
promoted the use of “wee” in his movies
not to talk about promoting it on such a
huge platform.
He said had the organisers been a little
patient with him, everyone would have
known the good message he was trying to
drive home.
Asked why he did not communicate to the
organisers before coming on stage, Lil Win
explained the act was arranged between
him and musician, Guru
Lil Win says he is sorry for the mishap and
that he had no intention to promote drug
use many are speculating.
