Nana Ama McBrown schools young TikTokers
In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, veteran actress Mercy Asiedu encouraged Nana Ama McBrown to brush aside some of the criticism she faces from young TikTokers on social media.
She said McBrown was blessed, adding that her path in life had been ordained by God and could not be derailed by any individual.
Nana Ama McBrown chimed in to speak about the difficulties actresses of her generation had to undergo before tasting success.
She said stars of this generation had it far easier due to TikTok, which made them fail to appreciate the struggles of the older generation.
"We have suffered; they don’t know what we have gone through. If not for TikTok, you would have also gone through what we did. We have worked hard and suffered so much. A lot of times, we wish you could have the same experience we had, because for a lot of us, those experiences helped shape us,” she said.
McBrown narrated how their struggles in Kumawood shaped them and the benefits they derived from it.
“We went wholeheartedly to serve, and God raised us due to our service. Everyone who has acted for a long time in Kumawood has gone through a lot of experiences that have shaped us. We learned how to speak carefully and how to deal with all sorts of people from different walks of life,” she added.
Mercy Asiedu also chimed in to defend their status using the iconic Ghanaian phrase, “When we were we, where were you?”
