You seem to be everywhere lately.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">DKB is just fanning the fire of GH comedy to make a bonfire. Everywhere because event organisers now prefer me as the first choice to spice their events, and it’s because I am serving out all the jokes that have been in me.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What happens when the jokes get finished? lol</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">They will never get finished because my style is to take swipes at social issues and current affairs…</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had been trying to remember DKB before Big Brother but I couldn’t.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I started off as a top performer at the defunct Citizen Comedy Show produced by Citizen Kofi. I was the regular character on the prime time comedy TV show, Laugh A Minute… I hosted KSM Afia Siriboe show in 2011 as well, hosted Eddie Kadi live in Ghana 2010 & 2011… Lastly, before Big Brother Africa (BBA) I was the host for the funniest family TV game show, It Runs In The Family.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Will you say you had your breakthrough before BBA?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I had my break but BBA gave me my big break…</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Was it crucial for you to be on BBA platform?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sorry, before BBA… I had flown to Uganda for Mnet Comedy Club to represent as finest comedian from Ghana to feature with other top comics from other African countries. So based on that I took BBA as an opportunity to sell myself to Africa as a great comic.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Do you think you have achieved that aim of selling yourself?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well I did but in an awkward way. Basing on the scandal, the name is truly remembered all across the continent but whenever I trip a country, I would have a few explanations to do before I proceed with whatever agenda I came with.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>You mean the Zainab slap saga still haunts you?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can never run completely from it. I have managed to bury it in Ghana. I am now left with other countries. I haven’t really interacted with them concerning it so truly I would have lots of questions to answer.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What really happened? Some people think you had to slap her to prove you are a man of your words?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">No, I slapped her because she slapped me first. And that broke the last straw because I had had enough of the verbal abuse.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you have the opportunity to bring back time, would you change anything that happened that day?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I would have walked away…and stayed in the BBA house as she gets disqualified.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Do you hear from her?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used to hear from her… I guess at a point everybody minds his or her business.</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Tell me about yourself?</b></span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m from Ningo… A Ga Adangbe by tribe.
