For the first time in his life, Funny Face has turned the spotlight inward, acknowledging that while there may be external forces at play, he is ultimately responsible for his own actions and their consequences. In a candid interview with Kofi TV, he confessed, “Whatever I am going through now is a result of my bad choices. I agree that evil forces can fashion against people but with this one, I won’t blame evil forces, I will blame myself for the challenges I’m facing.”

This admission of self-accountability marks a significant departure from Funny Face’s previous tendency to attribute his woes to external circumstances or other people. It reflects a newfound maturity and self-awareness, as he confronts the harsh reality of his own shortcomings and mistakes.
Acknowledging the disappointment and frustration of his fans and the Ghanaian public, Funny Face expressed remorse for his actions, stating, “I’m the major factor of my problem, I’m the major cause of my problems and in all, I take full responsibility for my actions and inactions. I have caused all these and I’m begging the people of Ghana to forgive me.”
This candid confession comes in the wake of a recent incident in which Funny Face was involved in a vehicular accident, resulting in injuries to five individuals. The comedian, who was reportedly driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident, has since been granted bail by the Ofaakor Circuit Court in the Awutu Senya East District.

Despite the gravity of the situation, Funny Face remains hopeful for redemption, expressing optimism that he can win back the love and support of the Ghanaian public with time. He acknowledges the uphill battle ahead but is determined to take responsibility for his actions and work towards self-improvement and reconciliation.
As Funny Face navigates the turbulent waters of personal and public scrutiny, his willingness to confront his demons and seek forgiveness serves as a powerful example of the importance of self-reflection and accountability. While the road to redemption may be long and arduous, Funny Face’s journey towards self-discovery and growth offers hope for a brighter future, both for himself and for those he has touched with his comedy and charisma.
