Big Akwes who has been in the news for saying Producers demand sex from Actresses before giving them roles has infuriated a lot of big names in the film industry. Socrates Sarfo is one of the big names www.233times.net can authoritatively say is not happy with the assertion of Akwesi Aboagye (Big Akwes).
Speaking on OC Showbiz Review on Skyy Power 93.5 FM in Takoradi, the vociferous Socrates Sarfo denied the revelation saying “as for me I have not been informed by any lady nor have I indulge in it so I cannot say it is true since I don’t know the left from the right on this issue. He (Big Akwes) would be the best person to tell you. Why hasn’t anyone asked whether Radio Presenters bonk ladies before helping them? Why are they showing interest in Producers and Actresses? I don’t see the head and tail of it.”
“You know 99% of these guys when they get the chance they will go out with the Actresses. I think people are only jealous of the Producers and Actresses cos as a Producer we sometimes get calls from the big shots in the society requesting for telephone numbers of some of the Actresses. They know you have contact with them so out of jealousy you hear all these comments and it’s always an issue because they know we have access to them. Have you heard of news that a Doctor has slept with the nurses or an officer sleeping with a junior rank officer? So why is that when it comes to Producers we always make it like this?” Socrate Sarfo said.
Nana Kwame the Master Planner, the host of the show asked Mr. Sarfo if he is not perturbed about the fact that an insider (Big Akwes, an Actor) made this disclosure and his answer was “If you ask a question, you will get an answer so if you ask a particular question you will get a particular answer but my point is that why should you ask that particular question? I haven’t heard anyone asking if Doctors bonk nurses, I haven’t heard anyone asking if that’s what the military does so why is it always Producers? I see it to be out of jealousy, people are inciting the public against the producers.”
“I blame the person who asked that question, excuse my language but it is a stupid question and you have another person who also answered stupidly. Because this is not an issue to discuss, what does it bring to the industry? If you say the Producers rape the Actresses, that is an issue, it is a crime we have to deal with but not when two consenting adults who are grown and have understood to do what they want to do” Socrates Sarfo.
Big Akwes has been suspended for 24 months by FIPAG for this action/inaction.
