In a TikTok live session, the actor criticised her fellow actress for the comment she made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMartha, those who are richer than you are rather humble and respect themselves a lot. Do you honestly call yourself a star? Who knows you? What do you have?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t even know why GTP bypassed the likes of McBrown, Mercy Asiedu and co, and made Martha Ankomah their brand ambassador. The likes of Van Vicker, Roselyn Ngissah and co, do not do these things. They even work with us. They shoot Kumawood movies.
