Fans of Ghanaian entertainment recently experienced a massive shock online. A classic music video surfaced on social media revealing a completely different side of Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi. People widely know him today as the legendary comic actor Akabenezer or Dr Likee.
However this rare footage proves he actively pursued a professional music career long before taking over the Kumawood movie screens. The viral video shows a much younger Akabenezer delivering an incredibly energetic musical performance.
The Forgotten Musical Duo
Before the comedy skits and blockbuster local movies Akabenezer operated as part of a dynamic musical duo. The newly surfaced video captures the duo performing their very first official song. Viewers quickly noticed his amazing musical talent and rhythmic flow. He shot a full professional music video for the track showcasing serious dedication to his craft. It seems the universe had different plans for him but this hidden musical talent proves he always possessed a natural gift for entertaining crowds. We can logically conclude that his early camera experience during these music video shoots heavily prepared him for his successful acting career.
Three Verifiable Facts About Akabenezer and Kumawood
- Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi originally built his acting reputation in the Kumawood movie industry by playing serious roles like bodyguards and tough street guys.
