The 44-year-old Nigerian described OB Amponsah as a ‘monster’ in comedy.

“I have not really worked with a lot of Ghanaian comedians but the few ones I have worked with delivered well. O B Amponsah was in Nigeria and he nailed it. He represented you guys well. He was a monster, he killed it. He is a great guy and I love his works. he will be performing at my show as well,” he stated in an interview with HitzFM’s Andy Dosty.
