My family is against my comedy career – Ajeezay

Ghanaian comedian, Ajeezay real name Nathaniel Mensah for the past years has not had his family supporting his comedy career.

The ‘nonfa’ king speaking to MzGee on Hitz FM’s Showbiz This Week said his family sees him as a young boy who has messed up his life because of his current job. He added that they do not want to see him in the showbiz arena but doing something ‘better’ for himself.

“Family says I have messed up. Family sees me as black sheep. They feel I didn’t make it in life so I don’t talk about those things. It is always about my comedy that I try to speak about.” he said.

Ajeezay disclosed that his father’s response when he informed him about his decision to be a comedian was that entertainment is for persons who dropped out of school. Convincing the old boy, the comedian said he mentioned Okyeame Kwame and Flowking Stone as entertainers who have degrees so he is in the right business.

Despite family’s disapproval of his work, Ajeezay told MzGee that nothing will stop him from being a comedian.
