Comedian Funny Face has named his twins after his mother and Togolese footballer and former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

According to the comedian born Benson Nana Yaw Oduro Boateng, these two have been there for him through his tough and good times all these years.

“Even at a point of me taking my life, these people were there,” he said in a video posted on his Instagram handle.

The comedian and the footballer have been seen together several times affirming their friendship.

On Funny Face’s birthday last year Adebayor gave the comedian a blank check to cash out any money he wants.
