Ghanaian comedian Funny Face has taken to social media to plead with his former partner, Vanessa Nicole, to grant him access to their children.
In a video posted on his Facebook page on June 5, 2024, Funny Face reiterated his efforts to financially support the children since his release from prison, even going as far as acquiring ten plots of land, of which Vanessa has a share.
“I’ve seen people, your people, saying I should show evidence. I can show evidence. Since I came back from prison, I have been sending money. I know 1100 cedis is nothing to compare. But look at the bigger picture here.
“Vanessa, say to yourself; I have destroyed everything he owns. I’ve destroyed everything he loves, except his properties, his lands. Just recently I acquired ten plots of land.
“Do you know your percentage in it? Ask my lawyer. If he tells you the percentage you earn from Funnyland alone, you will be shocked. I don’t owe you anything, but I feel that once I have children with you, I need to give you something,” he said.
He referenced an earlier interview with Vanessa where she expressed her desire for him to be back in their children’s lives and suggested that Vanessa was being misled by certain individuals, leading to her refusal to allow him access to their children.
This situation, Funny Face claims, has taken a toll on his mental health.
“You are listening to people. They are motivating you negatively. And you are killing me slowly, emotionally.
“Vanessa, you are the very same person who went on an interview with Kwaku Manu and you said you wanted me to come back into your life. You want me to co-parent with you. And at least they need their father and all that.
“Yet you are denying me access to them. You don’t care how I have struggled to get money to send you to take care of them. Let me build these children up,” he claimed.
He recounted a recent accident involving children, which he says has given him a new perspective on life and the importance of self-reflection.
“I had an accident involving kids. To God be the glory, no child died. I had to go to Cape Coast to see their children. In all this, I have seen life from a different angle.
“I have seen life from a different perspective. I had to dig deep within myself and search my soul. I know that most of the fault is mine. And I’m trying to correct them,” he added.
He urged Vanessa to acknowledge the unfairness in denying him access to their children and called for friendship and peace, emphasizing that their children’s well-being was paramount.
“Vanessa, the earlier you come to the realization that you’re not being fair to me, the better.
“I want to be good friends. So we can take care of our children. That’s the most important thing. The children matter. I want peace. I don’t want war,” he concluded.
