Napo, who served as the running mate for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2024 elections, said in a recent interview that he had seen OB’s performance and acknowledged the use of his name throughout the show.
He claimed that while he appreciated the free publicity, he was considering taking legal action so he could also benefit from the revenue made from the show.
The performance in question took place at the Bukom Boxing Arena on December 21, 2024. OB Amponsah made jokes about some of Napo’s controversial comments during the election campaign.
One of the highlights was a bit where OB Amponsah referenced Napo’s public statement comparing President Akufo-Addo’s legacy to that of Ghana’s first president, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
Napo later said that since his name was helping fill venues, he deserved a share of the proceeds and would ask his lawyers to contact the comedian.
In response, OB took to social media and posted a screenshot of the threat. Instead of reacting with anger, he asked his followers to continue streaming the performance on YouTube. He added a link to the video and wrote that they should keep watching so both he and Napo could make some money from it.
The post sparked reactions from fans and followers, many of whom praised OB for turning the legal threat into another funny moment.
