The mother of Funny Face‘s baby mama has voiced her confusion over the comedian’s infrequent visits to his children, who live with Vanessa in Kumasi.
She emphasized that there are no restrictions preventing him from seeing his kids and would be pleased if he visited to strengthen his bond with them, regardless of any personal issues with Vanessa.
“No one has stopped Nana Yaw from seeing his children, neither Ama nor I. I don’t understand why it appears challenging for him to visit his children. He is welcome to visit them without any hindrances,” Vanessa’s mother stated in a video shared by One Ghana TV on YouTube.
Funny Face has previously mentioned that an accident he experienced en route to visit his children has made him fearful of making the trip.
Meanwhile, he has faced numerous challenges with his former partner since their separation in 2021, leading to several social media controversies.
The mother of Ghanaian comedian Funny Face‘s children, Vanessa has expressed confusion over her ex-partner’s refusal to apologize to her family for past wrongdoings.
She explained that Funny Face’s past disrespect towards her family has strained their relationship, complicating matters further.
Vanessa questioned why Funny Face has not visited their home in Kumasi to spend time with their children, opting instead to express his desire to see them through social media outbursts.
In a video shared by One Ghana TV on YouTube, Vanessa urged Funny Face to seek forgiveness from her family if he genuinely wants to resolve their issues peacefully, rather than airing their problems publicly.
She emphasized the importance of respect, stating, “This person [Funny Face] has disrespected my family, so the least he can do is come back and apologize. It’s not right to think that having children with me automatically means forgiveness after insulting my family. An apology would make a big difference; my family would understand and we could move forward. But if apologizing is too hard for him and he continues to call me out on social media to see his children, why can’t he come to Kumasi himself? If he claims he couldn’t make it due to an accident, did he even tell me he was on his way to Kumasi?”
Since their split in 2021, Funny Face has faced several challenges with his ex-wife, leading to various social media controversies.
Comedian Funny Face continues to face challenges with Vanessa, the mother of his children, who has been reluctant to allow him access to their daughters or even communicate with them via phone.
Vanessa and their three daughters, including twins, live in Kumasi, while Funny Face resides in Accra.
The conflict between them intensified in 2020 when Vanessa moved out of their shared home and relocated to Kumasi with the children.
Since then, Funny Face claims he hasn’t been able to see his children, leading to a series of public outbursts and incidents, some resulting in his arrest and treatment at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital.
Despite calls for him to visit his children in Kumasi, Funny Face has been hesitant, citing a traumatic event. He recalls a near-fatal car accident on August 28, 2021, while traveling to Kumasi to see his children. The accident occurred near Bonsuom junction, shortly after Linda Dor, leaving his car beyond repair and almost costing him his life. Vanessa, he noted, denied knowledge of his planned visit, underscoring the communication issues between them.
To those suggesting he should make the trip by car or flight, Funny Face responded emphatically, recounting his harrowing experience. “Shut up! Shut up! Was I not on my way to Kumasi with the Porsche Cayenne and I had a major serious accident that nearly ended my life? The car got damaged beyond repair. Vanessa was asked whether she was aware I was coming to Kumasi, and she denied it! 28 August 2021, I had a serious accident at Bonsuom junction, just after Linda Dor,” he stated.
In a message directed at Vanessa, Funny Face emphasized that his primary concern is seeing his children, not rekindling a relationship with her.
“Vanessa, I know you don’t love me and I don’t want love from you. You know it. It’s the children that matter. I just want to see my children,” he added.
A video circulating on social media shows Funny Face’s baby mama, Vanessa, enjoying herself at a wedding, adding a new layer to Funny’s ongoing struggles.
In the video, Vanessa is seen attending a wedding as a photographer, capturing moments and displaying her enjoyment. The background song she chose, which talks about finding joy in her heart, stirred up various reactions online.
Some social media users accused Vanessa of teasing Funny Face with the video, as she appears to be rejoicing while Funny remains incarcerated. However, others argued that the video was likely recorded before Funny’s recent accident and cannot be directed at him.
Funny Face was recently involved in a car accident after reportedly driving under the influence. The incident resulted in five people being injured, all of whom are reportedly in critical condition.
While Funny Face has been grappling with renewed drama involving his baby mama, it seems unlikely that he will receive sympathy from her anytime soon.
The video of Vanessa’s joyful moments has ignited discussions online about the complexities of their relationship amidst Funny Face’s troubles.
Amid ongoing drama with his ex-wife Vanessa, comedian Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng known popularly as Funny Face has announced his decision to conduct a DNA test on all his daughters.
The decision came after a social media user advised him to move on from Vanessa and question why she was allegedly preventing him from seeing his children.
The netizen’s comment urged Funny Face to reflect on Vanessa’s actions and questioned the timeline of her new relationship.
In response, Funny Face hinted at potential doubts regarding paternity by asserting that a DNA test would reveal the truth.
In a social media post, Funny Face emphasized the importance of the DNA test, suggesting that if the results proved he wasn’t the father of his daughters, there would be widespread repercussions.
The comedian warned that such a revelation would lead to significant public attention and reaction.
Comic actor Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, known popularly as Funny Face, is embroiled in a bitter custody battle with his babymama, Vanessa, over their children and has announced a dramatic change of heart.
Despite receiving financial support from fans to visit his kids, Funny Face took to social media to express his despair over the situation, indicating he may abandon efforts to see his children altogether.
The actor accused Vanessa of actively preventing him from having access to their kids, prompting his emotional outburst online.
He went as far as suggesting Vanessa should “chew” the children if she does not want him to be a part of their lives.
Expressing exhaustion from the ongoing conflict, Funny Face disclosed his readiness to relinquish everything he owns, including cars, houses, and other assets, to start afresh in a different country.
This drastic decision reflects the deep emotional toll the custody battle has taken on Funny Face, as he contemplates sacrificing his material possessions for the chance to rebuild his life.
He said in an emotional post “Take da children and chew dem .. am tired of fighting to see my own blood .. i will sell my house , cars and lands and some few properties i have left .. and relocate to a different country and start my life all over again .. !! GOD bless us all ❤️🙏🏾🔥”
Vanessa, Funny Face’s baby mama was being criticized for her expressing her willingness to reunite with Funny Face, and one of the criticisms she noticed was that she is only after his money.
Stressing that her motive to reconcile isn’t driven by the comedian’s money, Vanessa said she has businesses that accrue profits at the end of the month.
Vanessa insisted during an Instagram live video that she is doing very well financially.
“I am not suffering. I am okay and well-to-do. At the end of the month, my farm gives me money. I have a farm that brings me money. My shop brings me money. My side hustle,” like shooting movies also brings me money. I have a beautiful life,” she averred.
Emphasizing how blessed she is, Vanessa added that she has a strong support system (family), that keeps her going.
“I have kids who love me and I have a mother who will go all out for me. In this life, if you want to count those God has blessed, I am one of them. I don’t have a problem so don’t compare yourself to me. I don’t beg to eat. I am very comfortable,” she maintained.
Tackling her detractors further, Vanessa established that she takes care of four kids all by herself, so labeling her as ‘broke’ is absolutely unwise.
“I take care of four children, four girls, so, if you’re on social media telling me that I want to come back because I am suffering, then you’re stupid,” she fumed.
Following Vanessa, Funny Face’s baby mama’s desire to reunite with him, Ghanaian comedian Funny Face has been trending at the top of Twitter for hours.
Vanessa Nicole stated that she was open to the idea of making amends with Funny Face in an interview with Kwaku Manu, claiming that she was now mature.
Given the hardships he experienced during their divorce, Ghanaians have warned Funny Face not to reconcile with his ex-wife.
The history between Funny Face and Vanessa has been nothing short of dramatic. Following their highly publicised breakup, Funny Face found himself in a state of mental distress, which led to a downward spiral in both his personal and professional life.
According to Funny Face, Vanesssa played a significant role in worsening his mental troubles by preventing him from seeing his beloved daughters.

Vanessa, Funny Face’s baby mama, has stated that she would like the chance to make things right with the comedian.
In an interview with Kwaku Manu, Vanessa made it clear that she has changed over time and that she would be open to the idea of reuniting him with the kids and herself.
“If Funny Face would want the kids and me to come home at least for a week or two, why not? It gets to a point in life where you have to mature. We have done a lot of things and been through a lot. We even have kids, three of them. So spending a week or two with him won’t make any difference. It’s not like I intend to hurt him or he might hurt me. He would’ve hurt me long ago if really, he wanted to,” she told Kwaku Manu.
Although Vanessa expressed that she doesn’t mind reuniting with the father of her kids, she said it’s entirely his decision to make.
“This is not my decision to make. Funny Face is way older than me and it’s not a woman’s job to ask a man to marry her. If he wants us back together, why not? I won’t say that he was entirely responsible for what happened between us. I also did wrong. In fact, I’ll take 50% of the blame.”
Meanwhile, Funny Face is yet to respond or react to Vanessa’s statements which has since gone viral on social media.
Background
In 2020, Funny Face and Vanessa washed their dirty linen in public over claims of domestic violence meted out against each other.
This was after Vanessa fled Funny Face’s home together with the kids as according to her, she could no longer stand the maltreatment in the house.
Funny Face who could not control his anger and the fact that the kids were taken away from him, took to social media several times to insult his baby mama parents amidst several accusations.
