Popular Ghanaian comedian Derrick Kobina Bonney well known as DKB has said that he vowed not to support his colleague Funny Face, but has had a change of mind after the latter was involved in an accident.
In justifying his earlier position, DKB pointed out that Funny Face had offended other comedians in the country, leading to their disdain towards him. Consequently, they were unwilling to assist Funny Face in any situation.
He noted that this was the reason he, DKB, refrained from publicly commenting on issues involving the embattled comedian. However, following Funny Face's recent accident, he [DKB] has had a change of heart.
Speaking in an Instagram live session monitored by GhanaWeb, DKB urged his fellow comedians in Ghana to forgive their colleague and rally behind him during such challenging times.
“I have never been a fan of Funny Face because of his shenanigans. You don’t see me talking about him publicly because of what he did to us [comedians] in the past. So for me, it will take more than just the eye for him to convince me.
"But with what happened to him tonight [car accident], I am pleading with all of us to have sympathy on him. I am calling on the comedians such as Kalybos, Bismark The Joke and the rest to come on board and help him,” he said.
