Ghanaian artist Shatta Wale recently expressed his view that the struggles faced by comedian Funny Face mirror the underlying issues within the creative industry.

Through a Facebook post, the dancehall sensation emphasized that Funny Face's challenges extend beyond mere relationship woes.

"The creative arts industry must break the cycle of self-punishment through depression and frustration. It's time to speak up and seek help. What's happening to Funny Face isn't solely a marital issue; it's indicative of deeper systemic challenges within our creative industries. Let's acknowledge the dysfunction in our structures and stop pretending everything is fine. Speak up, it's time for change!! Sorry my brother funny face ,May God see you thru [sic]," he wrote on Facebook.

On Sunday, March 24, 2024, Funny Face, renowned both as a comedian and actor, was involved in a car accident in Kasoa, located in Ghana's Central Region.

Footage circulating on social media depicted concerned bystanders gathered around the actor on that Sunday evening.

An eyewitness recounted hearing a collision shortly after parking their own vehicle. Upon turning, they witnessed Funny Face's car colliding with a woman accompanied by two children and a man on a motorbike.

Reports indicate that the injured parties were promptly taken to the hospital for medical attention.

In recent weeks, Funny Face had been vocal about his struggles to connect with his three children, citing his ex-girlfriend's refusal to allow him access. The comedian, who had previously battled depression and sought treatment, appeared to be grappling with emotional instability stemming from the ongoing conflict with his former partner. This situation had prevented him from seeing his children for the past four years.

In a poignant expression of his distress, Funny Face had recently expressed his intention to relocate and start afresh in an attempt to distance himself from his anguish. This declaration preceded the unfortunate accident.
