Emmanuel Barnes, also known as Mr. Logic, is a Ghanaian entertainment pundit and artist manager. He has taken a strong stand against Kumawood actor Lilwin and announced his intention to file a defamation lawsuit.
The enraged industry figure responded strongly after Lilwin publicly accused Mr. Logic of using a “weed toffee.”
Known for his direct approach, Mr. Logic strongly refuted the claims in an interview with Hit FM’s Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, highlighting the possible damage the accusation could do to his standing in the industry and reputation.
In the entertainment industry, allegations of substance abuse can be especially damaging. Mr. Logic is committed to using the legal system to dispel these claims. He added that he could be tested in order to get confirmation.
The artiste manager believes the accusation stems from his questioning of the actor regarding the use of Nigerian actors in his upcoming film, “A country called Ghana.” On February 22, 2024, Mr. Logic said on Daybreak Hitz that he could not understand LilWin’s decision to use Nigerian actors in a film that aimed to showcase Ghanaian culture and patriotism.
While he acknowledged that collaborating with Nigerian actors might help the film find a larger audience and be featured on a global platform such as Netflix, he expressed concern that the film would deny Ghanaian actors an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
“It’s a good one because of the agenda to get onto Netflix. But to continue doing the same thing for commercial purposes, I don’t think it’s advisable. The Ghanaian movie industry is still under the carpet. So it’s best if he lifts up the industry by lifting up young talents like Fifi Coleman is doing.
“Why are you making a movie named “A Country Called Ghana” and featuring Nigerians in it? We should put Ghanaian actors and stories first, stories that connect with our people,” he said. “It’s about uplifting our own,” he said.
Lilwin was not amused by this and has since started making fun of and insulting the well-known figure in the music industry.
