Popular Nigerian comedian Josh2Funny has responded to online pressure demanding he remove fellow comedian Deeone from their comedy show, The Audition. According to Instablog9ja, the backlash stems from Deeone’s frequent criticisms of activist Verydarkman, which has made him unpopular with some netizens.
In a recent Instagram post, Josh2Funny firmly rejected calls to drop Deeone, emphasizing their long-standing partnership. "Let me quickly address something! For you people saying I should get Deeone off THE AUDITION, first it won’t work," he wrote.
Josh2Funny explained that Deeone has been a key part of the show since its inception in 2017 and has always supported him. "He used to turn up for me anytime I need him," he added. The comedian also noted that The Audition has a global audience beyond Nigeria, making it unreasonable to remove Deeone based on local sentiments.
"I’m not saying you must like him, but my show is comedy, not rants and talking about people," Josh2Funny clarified, urging critics to either enjoy the show or ignore it.
This statement has sparked mixed reactions online, with some supporting his loyalty while others remain critical of Deeone’s controversial remarks.
