'I've found someone better for the role' – Don Little dismisses Atemuda

Ghanaian actor and comedian Don Little has responded to recent remarks made by colleague Atemuda, expressing disappointment over what he described as a lack of appreciation despite the support he has offered over the years.

Speaking in a video shared on social media on June 25, 2026, Don Little challenged claims by Atemuda that he had already left the popular television series Junkatown before receiving assistance from him.

“You said you left Junkatown before I helped you? Can you listen to yourself? When I took you in, even if it’s just water that I offered you, you should be grateful. Maybe you really needed it that day, so God has used me to save your life,” he said.

Don Little also addressed comments about his height, saying physical appearance should not be used as a basis for criticism.

“You also said all my siblings are tall and I’m the shortest one. We were not all created to be the same,” he stated.

The actor further questioned Atemuda's remarks about his ability to pursue other professions outside acting, stressing that the movie industry is made up of accomplished individuals from different backgrounds.

“Are you not also an actor? Are you a mason or a carpenter? We are all actors, but you were saying that if not acting, I can’t do any other job. Do you think it’s ordinary people who are into acting?” he shared.

To support his argument, Don Little mentioned several prominent Ghanaian actors, including John Dumelo, Majid Michel, Jackie Appiah and Van Vicker, describing them as respected figures in the industry.

According to him, he has supported Atemuda in numerous ways, including providing transportation and opportunities for recreation.

“I’ve helped you in so many ways, so you should be grateful. I take you around town in my car so you can have fun,” he noted.

Don Little also addressed reactions from social media users, claiming some people had misunderstood previous comments he made and wrongly accused him of insulting the Fante ethnic group.

“Your followers don’t even know what’s going on, but they’re on social media insulting me. They thought I insulted the Fantes, but I didn’t,” he said.

Don Little further revealed that he had decided to replace Atemuda in a role for an upcoming project, insisting he no longer required his services.

“Don’t even bother yourself about the role I wanted you to play for me because I’ve gotten someone fit enough to play that role. I don’t need you anymore,” he added.
