Ghanaians Praise Dr. Likee’s Mature Response To Serwaa Amihere’s ‘Fake Gold’ Comment

According to recent reports, Ghanaian actor and comedian Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, popularly known as Dr. Likee or Aka Ebenezer, has won praise from the public for his dignified response to television presenter and lawyer Serwaa Amihere following her public remarks on counterfeit jewellery.

The debate began when Amihere cautioned young women against purchasing fake designer bags to project an illusion of wealth. To illustrate her point, she cited the oversized imitation gold chains Dr. Likee wears as props in his comedy skits.

Her comments quickly stirred controversy, drawing responses from high-profile media personalities including Afia Schwarzenegger, Efia Odo, and Mzbel. As public figures traded jabs over the ethics and social pressure surrounding luxury items, the debate threatened to escalate into a full-blown celebrity feud.

However, Dr. Likee’s calm and humble demeanor defused the tension. Rather than reacting with hostility or defending his prop choices aggressively, the actor delivered a measured response that many Ghanaians celebrated as a demonstration of deep “home sense”—a local term for traditional wisdom and good upbringing. Social media users rallied behind the comedian, using the phrase “Wonim Nyansa Paa” (“You are very wise”) to honor his self-control and maturity.

Fans noted that Dr. Likee demonstrated how public figures can handle criticism without resorting to petty arguments. His response shifted public attention away from the dispute over counterfeit goods toward a broader appreciation for emotional intelligence in Ghanaian entertainment culture.

Ultimately, while Serwaa Amihere’s initial advice touched on real pressures surrounding modern lifestyle trends, it was Dr. Likee’s composure under fire that won over the public and solidified his reputation as a grounded cultural icon.
