Ghanaian comedian Waris is in trouble with Quick Credit Investment Micro-Credit Limited after he posted a video skit on social media that showed him wearing a Quick Credit T-shirt and threatening another actor with a cutlass to pay back a supposed loan.
The company has threatened to take legal action against Waris, saying that the video misrepresents its brand and contradicts what it stands for. Quick Credit said it does not engage in comic activities and that it was appalled by the video.
The video, which was titled “Birthday Delivery Guy,” went viral on social media and has been viewed over 1 million times. It has also drawn mixed reactions from viewers, with some people finding it funny and others finding it offensive.
Some Ghanaians have also commented on Quick Credit’s Facebook page, accusing the company of being involved in similar practices as the ones depicted in the video. However, the company has denied these allegations.
It is unclear whether Waris will face any legal consequences for the video. However, the incident has raised questions about the use of corporate brands in comedy skits.
Update: The video has since been deleted from Waris’ social media pages. It is unclear whether this was done in response to Quick Credit’s threat of legal action.
