Ghanaian comedian-turned-musician, David Oscar Dogbe, has asked the public to ignore comedians who have conferred on themselves kingly and queenly titles.<\/p>\n

In a Facebook post he made on Wednesday, 21st<\/sup>\u00a0February, 2018, the \u2018Rasta Love\u2019 singer said he is the best thing that happened to Ghanaian stand-up comedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cForget your kings, king \u2013 kongs, queens and self imposed monarchs. I am the best thing that happened to Ghanaian Stand up Comedy. Let any fellow who \u201ccan\u201d claim otherwise, step up for a debate,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Since his exit from Stand-up comedy into music, there have been a couple of comedians who have assumed several accolades to dignify their trade.<\/p>\n

Comedian Derrick Kobina Bonney aka DKB, for example, is affectionately called the \u2018King of GH Comedy.\u2019 According to DKB, the title was conferred on him by ace satirist Kwaku Sintim-Misa, who until the conferral of his \u2018kingship\u2019 was the King of Stand-up Comedy.<\/p>\n

It is not clear what David Oscar seeks to achieve which his subliminal \u2018jab\u2019 at his colleague comedians but the former comedian has been one of the freedom fighters of Ghanaian Stand-up comedy.<\/p>\n

After he won the comedy session of the maiden edition of Stars of the Future, he had waded into fierce battles, arguments and fights for the liberation of GH comedy from the doldrums.<\/p>\n
