“I sold my house and car to organize the Ghana Movie Awards. Ask Asamoah Gyan: he bought that car in 2010. So, who else can say he loves the industry more than I do?” he said.
Fred Nuamah disclosed how an investor declined in helping to fund his event because he had the perception that the Ghana movie industry was full of promiscuity. He added that other corporate entities also had the same perception and hence weren’t ready to invest in the industry.
“A friend introduced me to a businessman for sponsorship, and I was confident about it, but he declined after meeting him. According to him, actresses were promiscuous and his wife would not approve of his support,” he recounted.

The actor said some friends do not lend the support needed to make the award attractive for corporate entities.
“There was a particular year Nikki Samonas, Lil Win, Adjetey Anang, and Nana Ama McBrown had pre-recorded their presentations, but during the event, McBrown did not show up. Her excuse was that she was not invited. Meanwhile, I gave her husband the invitation card myself; you see the frustration I go through,” he lamented.
“I have lost friends because of the awards; Yvonne Okoro does not talk to me because of Ghana Movie Awards. Yvonne Nelson stopped talking to me for like a year. I do not compromise, and because of that I am losing friends,” he said on UTV’s united showbiz, in response to critics who have called his integrity into question.
