Controversial Ghanaian actor, Akwasi Asamoah, popularly known in the showbiz industry as Big Akwes has described indigenes of Kumasi as scammers.
According to him, fraud is part of the everyday lifestyle of the people of Kumasi and it has become an activity they have added to their culture.
He made this statement while speaking in an interview on Angel TV.
He said, “Anyone born and raised in Kumasi is a scammer”.
“From those at leadership positions to the lowest person is a fraudster. And this includes everyone. Even pastors who are to preach the goodness of God are part. I mean every Kumasi person who was born and bred there is in one way or the other involved in fraudulent activities.”
While some netizens side with him, others are of the view that it is not entirely true that all individuals who were born and raised in the second most populated city in Ghana are scammers.
He also talked about his failed marriage to Freda stating that he never married her. Big Akwes’ assertion contradicts earlier reports of the two tying the knot in August, 2023 which ended a few months later. The estranged ex-wife in recent weeks has expressed her regret in marrying Big Akwes emphasizing that it was the biggest mistake of her life.
