Comedian and actor Funny Face, whose real name is Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, has once more found himself in a public dispute with his ex-partner Vanessa, sparking a fresh wave of controversy.
Taking to social media, he expressed his frustrations, feeling drained from an ongoing struggle for custody and visitation rights to his children. In a series of heartfelt posts, Funny Face opened up about the difficulties of maintaining a relationship with his kids amidst a turbulent co-parenting situation.
He revealed that after four years, Vanessa allowed him to reconnect with the children via video calls, only to suddenly cut off communication. Perplexed by Vanessa’s sudden change, he expressed his disappointment, feeling deceived by her earlier attempts at reconciliation.
In one of his Instagram posts, he lamented the challenges of being separated from his children for four years and questioned Vanessa’s sincerity, accusing her of reigniting his hope for a co-parenting arrangement only to snatch it away again. He emphasized that his calls were solely about seeing his children and expressed his determination to overcome the obstacles placed in his path.
Funny Face conveyed in an Instagram post, “In life, the most treacherous person is two-faced. Someone who changes like a chameleon. Vanessa, it’s been four years since you separated me from the kids. When I apologized to Bola Ray and he forgave me, I extended that forgiveness to you too. Then you came back, pleading for co-parenting, professing your love for me, and so on. Was it all a facade? Did you realize I wasn’t taking your words seriously? Because I knew you were insincere. You reignited my love for our kids, only to snatch them away again.
“Now you dodge my calls, claiming to be busy or asleep, or having others answer on your behalf. But my calls aren’t about you; they’re about seeing my children. Four years without them is tormenting. You know how much I adore them. After all the suffering you’ve caused me, you’re doing it again? The kids will grow up and understand what I’ve endured. No amount of influence from your family can alter their perception of me.”
In a separate post, Funny Face expressed his frustration, stating, “Take the children and chew them. I’m tired of fighting to see my own blood. I will sell my house, cars and lands and some few properties I have left and relocate to a different country and start my life all over again.”
