Actor labels movie producer as a swindler, attention seeker

His comment came in response to reports that David Owusu has advised Kumasi actors to be weary because people who act in English are coming to that territory to act.

Actor, Prince David Osei

Prince David Osei who recently went to Kumasi to shoot a movie, reacting to the statement on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz first accused the movie producer of taking movie from people without doing the job for which the money was given him.

“The David Owusu we are talking about is a producer. He is one shoddy guy, a swindler, takes people’s money to produce movies for them and he doesn’t do it. He’s been in police custody several times. The last time I remember working with him was in 2011. He couldn’t even pay me so that guy wants attention,” he noted.

Addressing why he went to Kumasi to shoot a movie, Prince David Osei said it was all geared towards erasing the perception that he is arrogant and to help bring unity between actors in Kumasi and those in Accra.

He could not understand why Mr Owusu would make such a statement.

“Now with the issue of actors going to Kumasi, it’s quite unfortunate they are trying to bring this up. Some of us decided to go do movies in Kumasi just to foster unity and build this gradually dying industry of ours… For the records, Van has been doing movies in Kumasi for some time now, Majid did it with Liwin… I don’t know why this story is coming up,” he said.

“I went to Kumasi three or four weeks ago when I came back from the US to do a cameo appearance in a movie that featured myself, Van Vicker, Juliet Ibrahim, Liwin, Kwaku Manu and others. The next thing I saw online was, ‘I’m not in Kumawood because I’m broke’. Then they started perpetrating stories… Then this guy [David Owusu] also came in to say they should be careful of actors coming in. Are we not all Ghanaians? He’s not somebody anybody should listen to. He is not correct,” he noted.
