Funny Face is not the only creative facing financial difficulties; Ghanaian actress Pascaline Edwards has revealed that she is in the same boat with the comedian.
Her comment comes a few days after Funny Face had posted on social media that he had not seen his children in the pas four years because he is broke.
While empathising with Funny Face in an interview with Pulse Ghana, Pascaline (also a fashion designer) said a lot of people are in the difficult situations but they cannot talk about them.
She said she was not surprised with Funny Face’s statement about his poor financial status because the comedian had gone through a lot. He has had relationship issues, had a brush with the law, gone through depression, and later landed in a psychiatry for therapy.
”I’m not surprised Funny Face is broken. Oh, his case is a very dicey one. The guy has gone through hell and back. So why won’t he be broke. He is trying to pick up the pieces. So yes, I’m not surprised at all that he is broke.
Even me, I’m broke but because I don’t say it people think I’m okay; like I’m broke too. So if you have any help, kindly help me because I’m in the same boat with Funny Face,” she noted.
Responding social media comments slamming Funny Face for his post, Pascaline said it would take people who have been in the comedian’s position to appreciate his actions.
”I see some people bashing him and saying all kinds of things about him. We should be thankful he’s alive to say he is broke. If you haven’t experienced what he went through before, you might probably think he is not serious. You could do worse if you are in his position,” she further noted.
A few days ago, the ‘Cow and Chicken’ hitmaker wrote on social media: “Charley man made some bad choices, and it has cost me. If you won’t help me, please just don’t destroy me to other companies who want to use me for ambassadorial deals. So I can gradually gather some money small small to go see my daughters. It’s not that I don’t want to see them, but Charlie, I’m broke. My everything spoil [sic].”
Funny Face further stated that he would like to pick himself up using his efforts and talents to improve his situation.
“Please stop destroying me to companies !!! WE LIVE WE LEARN !! A situation that has caused me everything !! My hope is built on the LORD… and I know HE will come through for me…so allow me, so I can hustle and gather money small to go see my daughters…as for baby Kimberlyn she turned 3 years on the 24th NOVEMBER…she has never seen me before !! Hmmm life [sic],” he wrote.
Pascaline Edwards is known for movies such as Deranged, Christ in Me, Rescue, Forbidden Fruit, The Mask, among others.

Rising genre-bending artiste Sena Awudi has reached an inspiring new milestone, winning Emerging Act of the Year at the Ghana Music Awards USA.
The honour celebrates Sena’s remarkable growth, fearless creativity, and commitment to building a musical world that brings together sound, culture, storytelling, and striking visual expression.
From singles such as “Cocoa Skin,” “SoundCloud,” “Useless,” “Blame,” and “What U Mean,” every release has revealed a new chapter in her evolution as an artist.
For Sena, the award represents more than recognition—it is a powerful reminder that every dream begins with the courage to be seen and heard. It honours the long hours, difficult moments, creative risks, and unwavering belief that have shaped her journey.
The achievement arrives as Sena prepares to release her upcoming single, “Rewind.” Following Out of the Blue, the new song introduces the next era of AWUDI and signals an exciting step forward in her artistic journey.
Rooted in pop and R&B while drawing inspiration from Afrobeats and cultures around the world, Sena refuses to be confined by genre. She allows each song to become whatever it needs to be to tell its story honestly.
Beyond her own success, Sena hopes to use her music to connect people across cultures and make AWUDI a safe space where listeners can find comfort, confidence, freedom, and a sense of belonging.
Winning Emerging Act of the Year is not simply the celebration of how far Sena has come.
Industry watchers say it is the beginning of everything still ahead, a defining moment for an artist determined to tell meaningful stories, inspire others, and leave her mark on the global music landscape.
It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
