Kumawood actor Big Akwes who accused movie producers, actors and directors of sleeping with actresses has apologised for the claims he made on RTV months ago.
Actor Akwasi Asamoah aka Big Akwes alleged that movie producers sleep with actresses before giving them movie roles and that he will curse anyone who denies the accusation.
The comment sparked controversies in the movie industry.
The actor has however, withdrawn the statement. He further apologised for the utterances.
