Ghanaian content creator and skit maker, Dr. Likee, born Ebenezer Akwasi Antwi, has shared a deeply personal experience from his early days in the entertainment industry.

In a recent interview with ZionFelix, Dr. Likee revealed that his relationship ended because he was financially unstable.

Reflecting on his struggles as an up-and-coming actor, Dr. Likee recounted how his ex-girlfriend would often complain about his inability to provide for her after returning from movie sets empty-handed.

“In those days, things were not easy. Sometimes, you would tell your woman that you were going on set to shoot a movie, but you would come back with nothing in hand, and she would start complaining that you couldn’t help her,” he shared.

Dr. Likee highlighted the pressures that financially struggling men face in relationships, referencing the late South African reggae legend Lucky Dube, who also faced similar challenges.

He explained how men who are left due to financial difficulties often go on to achieve success after the breakup.

“A beautiful woman will surely meet a man who will show her ‘love’ with money when she steps out. Once that happens, she will leave you because you have nothing to offer her. But the moment the lady leaves is the very moment things begin to work out for you,” he said.

Dr. Likee added, “This happened to Lucky Dube… After the woman left, things began to get better for him. Then the child would ask why she didn’t stay with the father.”

He also touched on the unique challenges that stars face in their relationships, emphasizing the importance of spiritual guidance in overcoming these difficulties.
