Ghanaian stand-up sensation, Lekzy DeComic, recently shared his admiration for Shatta Wale and fellow musicians, lauding their innate sense of humor and suggesting their potential for comedy.
In a candid conversation with MX24, Lekzy DeComic highlighted Shatta Wale’s charismatic personality, affirming its comedic essence, and expressed a desire to collaborate with the renowned Dancehall artist.
“Yes, he (Shatta Wale) is a comedian. We don’t even have to accept him. From afar, we can tell he’s a comedian.
“I plan on putting him on my show one of these days; if not doing stand-up comedy, he will probably host the show for me. I’ve already spoken to his manager,” he said.
In a recent conversation, Lekzy DeComic highlighted several musicians he believes possess a great sense of humor, suggesting they would excel on a comedy platform. Among those mentioned were Kofi Kinata, Pappy Kojo, Wanlov the Kubolor, and Reggie Rockstone, all recognized for their ability to infuse humor into their music and performances.
Lekzy DeComic shared an anecdote about collaborating with media personality Captain Smart on one of his comedy specials, illustrating how individuals from diverse backgrounds can come together to create engaging and humorous content.
“Someone like Kofikinata too is very funny. Which I think he will also be great on a comedy show doing maybe ten minutes monologue. Pappy Kojo, Wanlov the Kubolor too is very funny. Reggie Rockstone as well. You cannot sit with Reggie within five to ten minutes without him dropping a bar or two for you to crack up.
“During the last comedy show I did, I had Captain Smart come on. People didn’t know he had a good sense of humour. He emceed my show and he was able to drop a few jokes in there,” he said.
In Nigeria, Lekzy DeComic highlights the integral role of music in elevating the comedy industry, emphasizing its ability to enhance and bring attention to comedic performances. He underlines how music enriches the comedy scene, providing an added dimension of entertainment.
“In other parts of the world, especially in Nigeria, what they did was they tried to use music as another form of elevation to let attention come to their industry.
So you know a comedian like BasketMouth doing a show and he puts Wizkid on. So sometimes music becomes like a spice to the whole thing,” he added.
