Big Akwes Responds to Backlash Over Remarks About Cina Soul

Big Akwes, a Kumawood actor, faced backlash for his comments about singer Cina Soul. He addressed this in a video but did not apologize. Instead, he urged Ghanaians to rewatch Cina Soul's viral video and analyze her actions.

On April 6, 2025, Big Akwes attended a naming ceremony for Halifax Todd Nana Qwaachi. During the event, Quecy Official, the MC, asked if he would retract his statement about Cina Soul. Big Akwes laughed and found the backlash amusing.

He insisted that viewers should reconsider the viral video to see if he was right or wrong. His remarks followed media personality Akosua Takyiwaa's apology to Cina Soul after negative comments on Max TV’s EQuick show.

Big Akwes made disrespectful comments about Cina Soul’s appearance during a discussion with other panellists. They focused on her looks instead of her recent album, *Did I Lie*, released on March 14, 2025. This sparked significant backlash from Ghanaians and celebrities like Efya and S3fa.

Social media users reacted strongly to Big Akwes' comments. One user suggested there is a lesson for Cina Soul in this situation. Another criticized Big Akwes for answering in English when the MC spoke Twi.

Others questioned his celebrity status and commented on his career choices. Fashionista Osebo also weighed in on the controversy, defending Cina Soul's fashion choices against criticism from Big Akwes and others.
