In recent years, Funny Face had been involved in an intense public feud with Vanessa Nicole after their relationship ended on a bad note.

The breakup, coupled with the lack of access to his twin daughters (Ella and Bella), negatively impacted the comic actor, causing him to experience a mental health crisis that has plagued his acting career and strained his relationship with his friends and family.

He experienced a torrid period in 2024 as he attempted to make another career resurgence. The actor experienced another bad mental health episode, which saw him abuse hard substances and make several allegations against his baby mama and other high-profile Ghanaian celebrities.

In September 2024, Funny Face was admitted to the Pantang Hospital for a psychological evaluation and was discharged after a few weeks. His condition got worse and he began to spiral out of control immediately after he was released from the facility.

The actor's struggles garnered the attention of fellow actor Kwaku Manu, who intervened and has been instrumental in his ongoing recovery process.
