Nollywood director, Nosa Rex, has taken to social media to apologise to Ghanaians for his recent outburst over a television station pirating his movie.
According to Nosa, his movie, ‘Prince of Peace’, was illegally broadcast by a Ghanaian TV channel. In a video posted on his social media platforms on August 12, 2025, Nova criticised Ghanaians about the issue.
He referred to Ghanaians as “stupid” and warned that piracy would lead the country’s entertainment sector to continue to deteriorate.
The filmmaker’s comments went viral and became a topic for discussion on some entertainment shows in Ghana.
After the reactions from Ghanaians, Nosa Rex, in a post on August 13, 2025, clarified his comments and apologised.
He explained that his harsh words were not aimed at the people of Ghana as a whole, but specifically at the television channels involved in piracy.
“I see that so many people are misinterpreting and misunderstanding the video. The insult in that video was directed at the TV stations. I mean, why would I insult the entire Ghana? It doesn’t even make sense. I’m looking forward to coming and seeing you people. You know what that means,” he said.
Nosa stated that he was angry because he was frustrated with the problem of piracy. He maintained that it demonstrates a lack of regard for skill and diligence when someone’s creative work is stolen and exploited without their consent.
“I mean, what I’m fighting for right now will not make sense right now until later. Imagine that a particular person is taking your creativity for free. It means that they don’t value creativity. They don’t value talent, and even you guys in Ghana, this might affect you guys later.
“If you don’t speak out right now. I know what I’m saying. Right now, it seems like I’m the bad person, maybe because of the way I said it. I just want to say shout out to my fans,” he added.
“I mean no disrespect. It’s not in my nature to disrespect anybody. For those of you who don’t know me, even the ones who pretend that you don’t know me, it’s okay, I just want to say I love all of you. I will not disrespect everybody. If you in Ghana, don’t speak out for us, how is it gonna happen? You understand? But as they do us, they will still do you guys, the creative ones in Ghana.
“So please speak out, fight for this. Let them stop it. It’s not in my nature to disrespect people. I’m sorry. I love you guys so much. No disrespect intended,” he said.
