Nana Konadu Nearly Destroyed My Career – DKB

Award-winning comedian, Derrick Kobina Bone popularly known as DKB has opened up about how the comment by former first lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, nearly destroyed his career.

In April this year, during an Easter comedy show, Nana Konadu stated that DKB was a boring comedian. The said event was headlined by DKB. However, it seems the former first lady was unimpressed with him.

She left the conference centre unconvinced about the comedic prowess of DKB. The former First Lady went to the exit as soon as the famous Ghanaian comedian mounted the stage, saying to the hearing of other patrons seated close by, “don’t mind him; his jokes are boring”.

DKB spoke about the comments on Mikki Osei Berko’s ‘After Hours’. He stated that the comments by the Nana Konadu opened him up to his enemies.

“I mean what she said was the most detrimental thing anyone could say to me. She opened me up to my enemies, to mockery and it was this close to my career crashing. I mean it is not encouraging for a high profile person of that sort to pass such a comment. She said she didn’t say it.”

However, DKB said he apologized to Nana Konadu when he saw her again.

“I met her and I apologized for the night. I didn’t really care whether she has to apologise to me or not. My bit was that I am the young man so off course I had to come clean. I apologized to her that if that night she was truly offended by the kind of content I was doing, then I am sorry. It was the lowest of my career. I lost a lot of shows because of the comment,” DKB maintained.
