Ola Michael, a prominent filmmaker and critic, has sharply criticized\u00a0Funny Face\u2019s recent interview with Kofi TV, suggesting that the comedian\u2019s plea for brand collaborations following a tragic accident involving his [Funny Face] car, is in poor taste.<\/p>\n After\u00a0Funny Face\u00a0was granted bail, the comedian in an interview with Kofi TV urged top brands across various sectors to reconsider him as a potential ambassador. Despite the setbacks,\u00a0Funny Face\u00a0was confident in his ability to deliver results, citing his substantial following and influence on social media as evidence of his marketability.<\/p>\n While apologizing for his actions,\u00a0Funny Face\u00a0appealed to these organizations for a second chance, emphasizing that he still possesses the force and appeal to attract consumers on their behalf.<\/p>\n But Ola Michael is of the view that\u00a0Funny Face\u2019s emphasis on business opportunities, rather than remorse, is problematic. According to him, while he is fed up with\u00a0Funny Face\u2019s repeated gaffes, the comedian should have just apologized, shown remorse and promised to behave instead of seeking business deals.<\/p>\n \u201cTelling us about your followers on social media and asking brands to come and work with you\u2026 The people you injured are unwell; now is not the time for you to market yourself for cash,\u201d said Ola on UTV\u2019s United Showbiz hosted by MzGee.<\/p>\n He stated that although\u00a0Funny Face\u00a0needed money to take care of the mess he had created, the timing was wrong, adding that the comedian\u2019s brand was no longer appealing.<\/p>\n \u201cI can understand that you need money to support these people you\u2019ve caused harm to. But seriously, if I\u2019m a company or a brand, he will be the last person I\u2019d consider for an ambassadorial deal,\u201d Ola noted on the show monitored by GhanaWeb.<\/p>\n He continued: \u201c[If I were him], I would have waited for a while because no brand would engage someone who would soil their image. It\u2019s the reason I think he should have just stuck to an apology in that interview. Have remorse and let\u2019s all synch with the emotion. But when you call on brands, you\u2019re taking advantage of the situation. That\u2019s why I think he was acting.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cKeep the business side away, let\u2019s focus on the injured. If you ask me to pray for\u00a0Funny Face, I won\u2019t. I\u2019d rather pray for those he has injured,\u201d Ola added during his submission on April 13, 2024.<\/p>\n Ola Michael accuses Funny Face of acting during Kofi TV interview #UnitedShowbiz<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/3eRhtIOVkQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n
