Don’t compare yourself to Lil Win – Salinko tells Ras Nene
Kumawood actor Abraham Davies popularly known as Salinko has added his voice to the ongoing argument about actors Ras Nene also known as Dr Likee and Lil Win on which of them is more popular now.
The banter about who is hot now started some weeks ago when Lil Win real name Kwadwo Nkansah granted an interview to blogger Zionfelix in which he said that Ras Nene cannot be compared to him because he is a legend.
Although Ras Nene himself did not respond to that claim, another Kumawood actor Yaw Dabo said in a separate interview that Lil Win should learn to accept the fact that Ras Nene is on top now.
And Salinko, in an interview with Graphic Showbiz said it will be wrong to compare Ras Nene to Lil Win because Lil Win, who is also a musician, is still very popular even after a decade in the industry.
“Lil Win has been around for more than a decade and he fits in any role given to him. Whether it is comedy or serious roles Lil Win will execute them with ease. Ras Nene is not a bad actor but Lil Win has been consistent and funny so comparing the two is like comparing some of these young rappers to Sarkodie which is totally disrespectful,” he said.

According to Salinko, people should learn to acknowledge those who have paid their dues in the industry and accord them the respect they deserve.
“We need to respect the seniors in the game and appreciate their contribution. I respect any actor who has been around for more than a decade and is still relevant,” he added.
Ras Nene real name Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi has been in Kumawood for a number of years. While he became known for playing tough guy roles (armed robber, land guard, gangster), he showed his comedic side in skits which have been showing on social media and YouTube.
The skits have caught on so well with the public and Ras Nene been trending for some time now, making appearances on a number of shows.
