‘Brokenheart nearly finished me’ – Funny Face opens up on his mental struggle

Ghanaian comedian Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, widely known as Funny Face, has opened up about how heartbreak has seriously impacted his life, almost destroying him.

He has been facing serious challenges with his mental health, describing this period as one of the toughest in his life.

Funny Face expressed deep gratitude to the people of Ghana for their solid and unwavering support during these hard times.

I am grateful to Ghanaians for standing by me because I have relapsed so many times, yet they continue to show me love and support. It is this love and support for people experiencing mental struggles that sustains them. You have to realise that people who behave in such ways were not always like that.

In an interview with Original FM, he said:

I urge people to take care of their mental health and say no to drugs because, during my struggles, I smoked weed, and it only made things worse. It did not help me at all. If you are facing these challenges and you add drugs, it only worsens the situation.

I would advise creatives, in particular, to stay away from drugs and not bottle things up. When you are going through challenges, talk to someone. That is something I failed to do.
