Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Derrick Kobina Bonney, a Ghanaian comedian who goes by the stage name DKB, has spoken out about why he rarely appears in other comedians’ comedy specials.
Many comedy fans have raised concern over the stand-up comedian’s refusal to attend the events of other comics even though these comics appear on his shows.
On Wednesday, March 9, 2023, Kwame Dadzie and DKB spoke on Joy FM’s Twitter Spaces discussion titled “Joy Entertainment Unpacked,” during which DKB noted he typically does not attend such programs, especially when he is not scheduled to play.
He claims that if he is not scheduled to perform but is merely invited as a guest, he may choose not to go if it conflicts with his gig.
“I was not put on the bill, so whatever other engagements I have I could go and attend to it, but if you put me on the bill, I owe you a duty to show up,” DKB noted.
“First of all, I don’t take offence in somebody not putting me on their show or not. We can’t all be on everybody’s show. That is essentially the whole point. So if you didn’t see me at the event, I also had other engagements, and since I am not on the bill, well, I am not expected to perform,” he said.
He added that sometimes, when the event clashes with his gig, he even tries to pass by the event.
‘Joy Entertainment Unpacked’, also featured, Clemento Suarez, Lekzy DeComic, Lawyer Nti, Jacinta, and Lawyer Nti.
Hosted by Kwame Dadzie, the programme the series of conversations comes off every Wednesday at 8pm on Joy FM’s Twitter page.
