“Funnybone said my career will die in six months” – Comedian, Destalker
He claims that FunnyBone forecasted that he would disappear in less than a year following his first-ever win for Best Comedian of the Year.
Nigerian stand-up comedian, Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, popularly known as Destalker, has revealed his senior colleague FunnyBone’s remarks on his career.
Destalker stated that FunnyBone had predicted that he wouldn’t survive more than six months in the comedy business.
Speaking as a guest on the most recent Afrobeats Podcast episode, which is hosted by Adesope Olajide, he revealed this startling revelation.
He claims that FunnyBone forecasted that he would disappear in less than a year following his first-ever win for Best Comedian of the Year.
Destalker said that he put his career’s success in God’s hands because he was ignorant of his overreaction when he made that remark.
He continued by saying that he received the same Best Comedian award four times after devoting his comic career to God.
Destalker 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.”
