Renowned Ghanaian comic actor Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, popularly known as Dr Likee, has disclosed that a surprising encounter with John Dramani Mahama made him reconsider his decision to exit the entertainment scene.

In an interview with Giovani on Showbiz 360, the comedian said he had been seriously contemplating quitting acting and comedy after years of producing movies and online skits.

He explained that his perspective shifted following a chance meeting with the President at an airport.

What seemed like a simple exchange, he noted, turned into a defining experience that reignited his passion for the profession.

“I wanted to retire, but after meeting President John Dramani Mahama and hearing him say he watches my skits, I was encouraged to continue,” Dr Likee stated.

Akabenezer stated that the President welcomed him warmly and indicated that he regularly watches and enjoys his comedy productions.

The comment, he said, came as a surprise and deeply moved him.

He noted that receiving such affirmation from a national figure prompted him to rethink his plans to step away.

The actor added that the encounter reminded him that his work carries impact and is valued by a wide audience, including people occupying high public office.

Dr Likee further indicated that the encouragement inspired him to stay committed to the industry and keep creating content for his supporters.

He said realising that someone with a busy national schedule still makes time to watch and enjoy his skits strengthened his resolve to continue.
