Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, known professionally as Dr Likee, has revealed that he plans to end his acting career shortly after returning to Ghana from the UK.

In a recent interview shared on GhKwaku's Instagram, Dr Likee explained that ongoing stress and frequent false accusations have driven his decision.

Despite his dedication and hard work to support emerging actors and content creators on YouTube, he expressed frustration with the negative criticism directed at him.

He mentioned that, following his return, he will cease both acting and producing films.

He cited the demanding nature of his job, where he works from 6am to 6pm, and the constant accusations of favoritism as key reasons for his retirement.

Dr Likee emphasized that he has always strived to collaborate with a wide range of creators and denied claims that he only works with select individuals.

He believes stepping away will prevent him from being unjustly blamed or criticized in the future.

Dr Likee has played a significant role in revitalizing the Kumawood movie industry and has helped many up-and-coming actors gain recognition through his popular YouTube skits.

Notable talents like Kyekyeku, 39/40, C-confion, Jordan, and Sobolo have gained fame thanks to his support.He said, “Two weeks after I return to Ghana, I won’t do it again. I am not going to act nor will I produce movies again. As I prepare to return home, there are about 50 producers and creators who want me on their sets. I work from 6am in the morning to 6pm in the evening and the stress is too much. I am tired.

“Also, the accusations that I have my preferred people I work with is very false. Present all the creators here and point out who I have not worked with before. So, you see, it is because of these accusations and more that I want to quit.”

He noted that, “When I quit, I won’t be accused or blamed for anything.”
