Destalker, a Nigerian stand-up comedian, believes his colleagues were envious when he received his first prize for “Best Comedian of the Year.”
The comedian stated this when appearing as a guest on Shopsydoo’s most recent Afrobeats Podcast episode.
FunnyBone, Destalker’s colleague, reportedly said that he would not last long in the comedy business.
He claimed that FunnyBone had predicted that he would disappear in six months, much like his coworker Akpororo.
He said, “After I won my first Best Comedian of the Year award, my colleagues started getting jealous of me. FunnyBone said, ‘What does he feel like? Let’s give him 6 months.’ He didn’t know I was sitting close to him when he said it out loud.
“He said, ‘Abeg! Six months he will go down.’ Listen, you cannot give time for what God has timed. FunnyBone continued, ‘Let’s give him time, highest one year. No be so Akpororo do? Where is Akpororo today?’
“I said, ‘Okay, let’s see if it’s God’s time or man’s time.’ I won the same award for four consecutive years.”
