Over the years, the comedian has struggled with mental health issues, which have derailed the progress of his once-successful career and strained his relationship with his baby mama, children and colleagues in the Ghanaian entertainment industry.
In 2024, Funny Face's resurgence was plagued by constant mental health breakdowns on social media, which led him to make several allegations against his estranged baby mama, Vanessa Nicole and her parents.
The comic actor alleged that Vanessa had a secret affair with rapper Medikal and that a secret DNA test proved he was not the father of the twins he shared with his baby mama, a claim dismissed by fellow actor and close friend Kwaku Manu.
Funny Face was eventually admitted to the Pantang Hospital for treatment before being released to return home on his birthday. Despite his short stint at the facility, the actor's mental health worsened, and he quickly spiralled out of control.
He eventually publicly apologised to Vanessa Nicole and her parents and later focused his energy on producing a series for his YouTube channel.
Funny Face promises to change
In a TikTok live session with Kumawood actor Kwaku Manu and fans on Monday, January 6, 2025, Funny Face recounted the difficult challenges he had experienced and events that transpired during his stint at the Pantang Hospital.
He explained that his desire to be involved in his daughters' lives was among the factors behind his numerous mental health breakdowns.
The comic actor, who recently received spiritual healing at Mama Vida's church in Kumasi with Kwaku Manu, pledged to significantly change his life and avoid disputes with individuals even if they verbally attacked him first in 2025.
Funny Face promised to mend fences, reunite with his estranged baby mama, Vanessa Nicole, and help care for their twin daughters, Ella and Bella.
He said:
"If someone else is behind my problems and I can't control myself and my emotions, from 2025, by God's grace, I will control my emotions, and I am going to do the right thing by Vanessa and also make sure we take care of our children together in peace."
