Big Akwes stirs up controversy by alleging that everyone in Kumasi is a “scammer” (VIDEO).

Kumawood actor Big Akwes recently sparked controversy by commenting on the lifestyle of Kumasi residents, claiming that anyone born and raised in the city is involved in scamming. In an interview with Angel TV, he asserted that many people in Kumasi, including leaders and even pastors, engage in fraudulent activities, implying that it’s a way of life. “Anyone born and raised in Kumasi is a scammer; I stand by that. From leaders to the average person, even pastors – they’re all involved. Look at the young boys at Kejetia and what they do with people’s phones. My comments aren’t related to the TV station,” he said.

During the interview, Big Akwes also addressed rumors about his relationship with Freda, the ex-wife of another actor. He denied ever being married to her, saying, “I’ve done nothing to her and never married her. I don’t want to discuss this further because my international partners are watching, and it could affect plans. If you need more information, ask Freda, not me.”

In response to claims by his ex-wife Freda, who recently described marrying him as her “biggest regret,” Big Akwes responded subtly. The two had married in a private ceremony in Kumasi in August 2023, but they separated a few months later due to marital issues. In a video shared in August 2024, Freda spoke openly about her regrets regarding her marriage to Big Akwes.
