OB Amponsah has revealed the financial challenges he faces in the entertainment industry, particularly regarding his comedy specials.

Speaking about his recent event at Bukom Boxing Arena on December 21, 2024, OB disclosed that the event, despite his hard work and dedication, ended up being a financial loss, amounting to about GH₵40,000.

“No, even the just-ended one at Bukom Boxing Arena, I made a loss of about GH₵40,000. I’ve done about five comedy specials with no profit,” OB Amponsah stated, offering a rare glimpse into the business side of comedy.

His confession challenges the popular perception that entertainers like him rake in substantial earnings from their performances.

Despite the financial setbacks, OB Amponsah remains resolute in his commitment to the craft.

Drawing inspiration from industry veterans, he emphasized the importance of reinvesting in one’s career, even when immediate profits are not realized.

“And that is what George Quaye said about investing in oneself, so all the money that I spend, even if it doesn’t come back as profit, it would come back into my craft,” he explained.
