Actor and comedian Kwadwo Nkansah, better known by his stage name “LilWin,” from Ghana, has voiced dissatisfaction with the public’s reaction to his mishap on May 25, 2024, which claimed the life of a 3-year-old boy.
LilWin criticized the way the incident was portrayed in the media, claiming it gave the impression that he had deliberately caused the accident, during an interview at the Believers Worship Center on July 1.
The actor emphasized that his driving was not irresponsible and refuted suggestions that it was the cause of the collision.
“I was sitting down and asked myself if it’s my matter that is being discussed on TV as such. There are a lot of things about a car; it’s a machine. It doesn’t matter if it’s brand new. Anything can happen.
“I am not happy about what happened to the victims. The media has reported the matter as if I deliberately knocked down the young boy with the car and intentionally collided my vehicle with his,” he stated.
