I EMPTIED MY ACCOUNT TO FUEL MY RANGE ROVER – Funny Face Speaks On Adebayor’s Car Gift

 

Ghanaian comedian Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng popularly called Funny Face has opened up on his he struggles with mental illness for the umpteenth time.

After recoerving from his mental breakdown, Funny Face had an up-close and personal interview with media personality, Delay on her show and he shared his ordeal of surviving the illness

He revealed how the Range Rover he received from Adebayor affected his life.

“When the Range came, it was like a shock to me. And I remember that I slept in the car the first day it arrived. At that time, the poverty syndrome was still in play, so that mentality was there. I remember I thought the car would disappear. I didn’t believe that Yaw Boateng is in a Range… That was where I mounted pressure on myself.

“This is where the whole thing started. Living to impress people is very wrong. Making people believe you have when you don’t is very wrong. And it’s affecting most of the youth.”

According to Funny, he was determined to prove himself worthy of such a luxury car that he made damning sacrifices to his finances and wellbeing. He shared how he spent lavishly on fuel expenses until he had almost nothing in his bank accounts.

“That time, as you said, I was featuring in Chorkor trotro, and Range expenses were very high. I heard Ghanaians saying that I can’t afford fuel for the car. I said, ‘Me, I can’t buy fuel? I will prove these people wrong.’ So I withdrew all the money from my bank account.

Then everywhere I say, ‘Who said I can’t buy fuel? Give me Gh500. Then it got to a time, I was running low on cash, so when I go they say, ‘Funny. I say yes, give me Gh50,” Funny Face disclosed.
