Although Nana Ama Mcbrown is still the richest female actress in Kumawood and frankly, the best female actress if you ask me, she has been missing in action and it’s for no other reason than the introduction of another actress, Sandra Ababio into the movie industry.
Sandra Ababio who used to base in the United States moved Ghana to push her acting career. Luckily, she met, Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin, the Kumawood poster boy who helped usher her into the Kumaood industry. Sandra Ababio does not only have a striking resemblance with Nana Ama Mcbrown, she acts and behaves just like Nana Ama.
Sandra AbabioSince she charges far less and fits Nana Ama Mcbrown’s roles, she pushed her over. It got to a time Kwadwo Nkansah was accused of introducing her whom it’s been alleged she is his girlfriend into the industry to take away Nana Ama Mcbrowns’s shine. An allegation, Lilwin denied.
Kaakie – MzVee
Between 2014 and 2016, the hottest Afro-Dancehall queen in Ghana was Grace Kaki Awo Ocansey. She thrilled Ghanaians with songs such as Ewoo, Sankwas, DC Turn Up, Ronaldo, Too Much among other hit songs. She was the Afro Diva and she was the queen until MzVee.

Born Vera Hamenoo-Kpeda, MzVee gained mainstream attention when she won the 2015 New Artist Of The Year at the Ghana Music Awards.
For close to 4 years, MzVee has thrilled Ghanaians with several hit songs including Natural Girl, Abofra, Sing My Name, Dancehall Queen, Daavi, Borkor and her latest hit song, Come and See My Moda featuring Nigerian artist Yemi Alade.
She completely took the crown off Kaakie and became the beacon for all the female artist in Ghana. This was mainly due to Kaakie’s attention on her education (She is currently a graduate practicing nursing).
