Derrick Kobina Bonney, known as DKB, has entered the ongoing conversation sparked by Gisela Amponsah’s viral statement, ‘I hate my father’ culled from the trending podcast Rants, Bants and Confessions.
The Ghanaian comedian and social media influencer expressed on X, as sighted by GhanaStreetJournal, that he remains unaware of his father’s identity even at his current age.
DKB encouraged Gisela to let go of the negative experiences she endured from her father while still showing him respect and acknowledging his role in her life.
Additionally, DKB shared that, unlike Gisela, who knows her father’s identity, he has never seen his father.
He recounted a recent attempt to connect with him, during which his father informed him that he was not in Accra. When DKB requested a photo or selfie, his father replied that he was not comfortable with taking pictures.
“At 38 i still don’t know my father. Appreciate yours no matter what. finally called him, he wasn’t in Accra, I begged him to send his pic or selfie, he said his cameras disposition isn’t progressive 😂 Last I heard he works with the Registry of Catholic University-Sunyani.”
Background
Speaking on the Rants, Bants, and Confession podcast, Gisela said;
“I don’t even want to talk about that man because I don’t want to give him the clout. I have never rated him. I’m very disrespectful towards my dad, and I am not even going to shy away from it.
“I respect and love my mom so much, but for my dad, I don’t even think he exists. I don’t like talking about him because he is a demon. When I say men are trash, it starts from him,” she stated without mincing words.”
Gisela proceeded to express that her father has harbored resentment towards her since her early years, emphasizing that their strained relationship has deep roots and did not begin recently.
“I feel like all my trust issues and not knowing my worth at some point in life all come from that man. How can I have a father, an actual dad, and I try to talk to him and he tells me not to talk to him?
“I remember when I had admission to the University of Ghana, Legon, I called to inform him, and he asked me why I was giving him such information. My dad hates me; he despises me. He doesn’t even know my age or even the things I go through.
“He is cool with my brother. He talks to my brother, he sends him money and my brother even lives with him. I am his eldest child, but he doesn’t even care about me,” she retorted.
