Ghana’s former houesmate at the ongoing Big Brother Stargame show, DKB has cancelled two shows in honour of the late Ghanaian President, John Atta-Mills.
The 26-year-old comedian expressed his hurt by the sad demise of the President adding that he was someone who provided him with materials for his jokes. According to him, the news coupled with Eddie Murphy’s rumoured death affected him greatly and even his appetite, hence his decision to cancel his shows.
‘I was deeply hurt and devastated by the news and it felt like I had lost a father even though we biologically and physically we don’t have anything in common except attending the same school i.e University of Ghana. Uncle Atta is a person who you would admire and have affinity for due to his extreme patience, tolerance and good sense of humor unconsciously because he is a character that bears no grudge with anyone, another factor that that worsened my plight was the death rumor of my mentor Eddie Murphy which later fortunately came out as a hoax… The news broke me down emotionally such that I lost appetite to perform on those shows thereby sacrificing them and anything that comes with it as my form of last respect for our lost father‘, he said.
His management team, Ecstasy and Boom Entertainment, also commented, adding that his shows would have featured comedy on topics related to current affairs which obviously involves spoofing the system which may not be appropriate considering the situation in the country.
DKB however advised that all hands be on deck to ensure safety during the forthcoming elections.
