His hilarious reaction after being honoured has got many talking and urging him to become a comedian.

In a video on X, Kofi Kinaata said the award given to him by Otumfuo was proof that he is not proud enough and would, from henceforth, walk with a hanger on the shoulders of his shirts.

As he was speaking, another gentleman was holding a hanger which had been placed in Kofi Kinaata’s shirt.

“If you see me with raised shoulders and someone following me with a hanger, my shoulders are ok. It was Otumfuo who called me to the Manhyia Palace and awarded me. He made me feel that my shoulders are down, so I need to get a hanger to help me raise them. So please manage this because if I get upset, I will use a crane to hold my shoulders high.”

“Me after His Majesty Otumfuo Osei Tutu and His distinguished Executive Board honoured me. #TeamMooove.”
