Ghanaian comedian, Richmond Amoako, widely recognized as ‘Lawyer Nti,‘ has bravely shared his experiences during his darkest moments, revealing the difficult decisions he had to make. Among them was his choice to step away from participating in the well-known ‘Kejetia vs Makola’ series.
Lawyer Nti, a cherished character in the renowned comedy series, opened up about his struggles during the peak of his career, admitting that he was unprepared for the overwhelming fame, and it took a toll on his mental well-being.
Speaking to GhanaWebTV, Lawyer Nti said the overwhelming nature of the fame landed him in depression and drove him into a long hiatus.
“People are dealing with a lot. I will come out and make people laugh, go back home and cry. None of us was prepared for the fame. We only wanted to shoot a part of our radio program, put it on video, and see how it goes, and then boom! Things escalated. We were not prepared for what we experienced. It was overwhelming,” he disclosed.
In the midst of his tempestuous battle with depression, he disclosed how discovering and re-aligning himself with God brought him back on track.
The comic actor is currently back on the screens but with a different feel of craft.
Signed unto the Lynx Entertainment label, he is set to release his first project after the long break.
