Comedian OB Amponsah has found himself at the centre of social media controversy following a now-deleted Facebook post about the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Dzifa Abla Gomashie.
What initially appeared to be a casual or humorous social media comment quickly escalated into heated discussions online, with some individuals interpreting the post through tribal lens.
The situation has since generated backlash from social media users who have openly criticised the comedian and demanded an apology.
The post, which was later deleted, sparked widespread debate across social media platforms with users divided over the comedian’s intentions and the reactions that followed.
While some defended the comedian, arguing that the post was taken out of context, others believed the comments were insensitive and offensive.
Several social media users expressed disappointment over the post, insisting that public figures should be more careful with their words, especially on sensitive issues that could trigger ethnic or tribal tensions.
As of now, OB Amponsah has not publicly addressed the backlash or issued an official apology regarding the incident.
The controversy has once again highlighted the growing influence of social media conversations in Ghana’s entertainment and political spaces, where public comments can quickly spark nationwide reactions and debates.
