Ex-Black Stars skipper Asamoah Gyan has come to the aid of Ghanaian comedian and actor Funny Face with the amount of GHC1,000 and has launched a campaign to seek for financial suport for him.

This kind gesture comes after the renowned comedian, who is privately known as Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, in a post via social media on Saturday, January 20, 2024, disclosed he has been unable to see his children for the past four years because he is financially down.

He shared that due to his past struggles with depression, he has lost connections with several people who used to come to his aid.

Unfortunately, people in the entertainment industry have also spoken negatively about him, causing companies that used to give him work to lose interest in hiring him. This has made it difficult for him to find gigs that will provide for him.

Ghanaian international, Asamoah Gyan aka Baby Jet tweeted on X that he has reached out to the comedian and donated Ghc1,000.

He used the opportunity to call on the general public to support the comedian with any amount.

“I managed to call FUNNY FACE. He poured his heart out to me and I’m so touched. I decided to start a campaign to support the guy with 1000 momo on his number (0244812335).
