“Kumawood Movie Industry has helped me in so many ways but it pains me that I didn’t get money since I joined the industry. I know my time will surely come” he explained.

“When I sleep I can’t close all my eyes because of how big it is and also I can’t interlock my fingers but I’m proud of how God created me”.

“Ambassador, even if I get money like Dangote, Despite, Dr Kwaku Oteng and others, I will never undergo surgery to change my looks. I will use the money for surgery to feed the poor and help the needy”, he vowed.
