Ghanaian comedian, Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, popularly known as Funny Face, has been the subject of media attention and speculation regarding his mental health.
There have been reports of him posting videos in an unsuitable condition and repeatedly insulting the mother of his children, as well as other celebrities.
Funny Face’s recent erratic behaviour and rants on social media have been linked to issues in his relationship and subsequent breakup with his partner, Vanessa.
This is believed to have taken a toll on his mental health.
Recently, Funny Face’s verbal abuse has escalated to targeting his ex-lover’s father, known as Jah Wisdom.
In an interview with Luv FM, Jah Wisdom stated that he has no personal animosity towards Funny Face, but believes the comedian’s current mental state could be a result of his own personal actions and inaction.
“Whatever is happening to him is as a result of what he has done to himself, his family and someone else’s family,” he stated.
Jah Wisdom then added, “Funny Face is not part of my family, he has not come to my home before neither have I seen him face to face before.”
According to him, Vanessa was not married to Funny Face as rumoured.
Touching on Funny Face’s recent rants, Jah Wisdom said is it dangerous to disrespect others, and it may not be well for people who indulge in such practice.
He also stated that Vanessa as his bloodline is as powerful as her father.
“My daughter is as powerful as me and if you attempt to play games to tarnish her image, you will not go scot-free,” he stated.
He however maintains a neutral stance on Funny Face’s situation, emphasizing it is a personal matter that should not involve his family.
Jah Wisdom expressed a desire to focus on his own music career and establish a strong brand in dancehall music.
He pointed out the need to sing well-meaning songs about life, faith and women.
