Media personality and celebrity MC, Kwasi Kyei Darkwa otherwise known as KKD says Ghanaians are desperately seeking to enter into showbiz due to hardships in the country.
Speaking to 3FM, KKD said that our society prioritizes entertainment more than hard-core journalism.
He referenced the boom in Nigeria’s comedy space as a getaway from their problems. He said, “If things are that bad, what do you do? They say I can’t kill myself.”
“The truth is right now we are in a society that is desirous of just entertainment. And that is why a certain breed of performers in the media space will get more views and more hits than one who is writing a lot of sense. We are desperately seeking entertainment, and that is what happens in any society which is undergoing things they are not comfortable with,” he continued.
The filmmaker further explained that it is an expected and natural response to any situation where you are helpless to make a change. If you are not happy about something but you cannot say it. You laugh about it. Or even better, you will find people that would make you laugh about it.
