'For the sake of my career, you dare not quit acting' — Wayoosi to godfather Agya Koo

Popular Kumawood actor, Joseph Osei and widely known as Wayoosi, has recounted the implications of seasoned actor, Kofi Adu also known as Agya Koo's decision to quit acting.

The actor laments that Agya Koo’s break from movie scene over purported sabotage from some industry players has perdonally affected the growth of his career.

Having featured in several compelling movies with Agya Koo, he complained in an interview with AMBASSADOR TV, monitored by Modernghana News, that he has been denied roles because people believe he is only good when paired with his godfather, Agya Koo.

“Agya Koo staying away from the industry affected me big time because the majority of Ghanaians know I move with Agya Koo.

“Producers who were willing to use me in their movies decided to use different actors because they think I'm good only when they pair me with Agya Koo,” he complained.

Wayoosi pleaded with Agya Koo not to consider retiring from acting permanently, because if he does, he will be destroying his and others people's career.

"Agya Koo can never say he is quitting acting. He should dare come out with that news because the day he will make that announcement, I will surely deal with him.

“Agya Koo can only say goodbye to acting when he is not alive but since he is alive and has the strength to act, I will sue him if he decides to quit acting,” he threatened.

Wayoosi believes Agya Koo's comeback will resurrect the nearly dead local film industry.

"With teamwork, unity and determination, I believe the comeback of Agya Koo will help resurrect the dying Kumawood Movie Industry.

"The industry has not collapsed as people always think but the problem is our leaders didn't prepare for the new trend such as using social media and other methods to sell the movies," he added.
