Big Akwes’ utterances scared my family a lot – Cina Soul

Ghanaian singer and songwriter Cina Soul says her family was left terrified after actor Big Akwes publicly declared that he would kill her.

The controversial statement was made during a segment on Max TV and later repeated on Bryt TV, where Big Akwes, while playing a “Marry, Kiss, Kill” game, shockingly said he would “kill Cina Soul.”

He went further to claim he could spiritually summon her through a “magic mirror.”

The remarks became a huge topic of discussion with netizens condemning the actor across social media and entertainment circles.

Speaking on the matter, Cina Soul said the comments were frightening not just for her but especially for her loved ones. “It was scary, and I think it scared my family even more,” she said.

She clarified that although many assumed she went silent after the incident, she was actually working abroad.

“Right after that happened, I had to leave, and that’s when I went to play shows in the US. So that’s what made it seem like I had gone quiet, but I was still working.”

Cina Soul stressed that the situation did not affect her artistry but took a toll on her as a person.

“As an artist, I don’t think it affected me. It affected me as a woman, as someone’s child,” she explained, adding that she turned to prayer for strength.

The singer further explained that the most difficult part was calming her family’s fears. “Usually, you’d think my family would be consoling me, but it was the other way around. I was rather telling my mom and siblings not to lose sleep over it.”

Cina Soul added that she has no personal relationship with Big Akwes and does not understand why her name was mentioned.

Despite the ordeal, she said she remains strong in her faith and focused on her music career.

Her management later handled the issue with the media houses involved. Both stations issued apology statements, but she said she never received a personal call from the host or from Big Akwes himself.
