"Music is a great escape for Funny Face" - Ameyaw Debrah
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment pundit and blogger Ameyaw Debrah discussed Funny Face's return to music and how that could earn him the support of Ghanaians.
Considering the fact that Funny Face had been in and out of mental health facilities and battling with issues with his baby mama, Vanessa Nicole, Mr Ameyaw believes that music could be a great alternative to help him put the past behind him.
He also added that Funny Face portraying himself in a good light by putting effort into his comedy craft and music would earn him the trust of Ghanaians, prevent him from falling back into old habits, and eventually earn people's support.
"As for the past, I think anything that would help him put it behind him and also get that support and love that Ghanaians have always shown him in the past would be nice."
Mr Debrah also added that he had seen heartwarming videos of former Ghanaian professional footballer Asamoah Gyan featuring in skits with Funny Face and participating in the viral challenge invented by Funny Face, Eko Go Dis Way, adding that they were beautiful to watch.
"I have been seeing some of the videos he has been doing with Asamoah Gyan and all of that."
