“My mother cried” – Opoku Bilson reflects on journey from prayer to UK success

For comic actor Opoku Bilson, a recent trip to the United Kingdom with Dr Likee’s comedy team was more than just another career milestone—it became a deeply emotional chapter that brought his personal journey full circle.

Speaking in an interview on June 2, 2026, the actor opened up about the overwhelming reaction from his family after news of his UK appearance at the O2 Indigo show began circulating online.

He revealed that his mother was especially moved after an old video of him resurfaced on social media—one that captured a moment of prayer and hope from years ago. In the video, he had asked his mother to pray for him on his birthday, expressing a quiet but firm belief that his future would one day speak for itself.

That future, he said, arrived in a way that deeply touched his home.

“My parents are proud of me. They are very happy. When my mother watched the video, she cried. There was a viral video of me carrying goods on my back, and another one where my mother was praying for me.

“I remember that four years ago, on my birthday, I went to her and asked her to pray for me. I even told her that one day I would have a story to tell about that video. By God’s grace, that dream has come true. So when she called me after watching it, she was crying,” he shared.

Beyond the emotional family moment, Opoku Bilson also took time to address rumours suggesting division within Dr Likee’s camp following his growing visibility. He dismissed such claims, stressing that unity remains intact among the team and that collaboration continues as before.

“That is not true. We are all working together. In fact, we recently worked with Kyekyeku,” he clarified.

Opoku Bilson’s story is a reminder that behind every stage appearance and public success lies a private history of prayers, patience, and persistence. What once began as a simple request for blessings has now transformed into a living testimony—one that not only marks personal achievement but also strengthens the bond of family pride and shared joy.
