Derick Kobina Bonney, a stand-up comedian better known by his stage name DKB, has described how he fired the first members of his management team. He said that they ate his kbebab and popcorn, among other things, without informing him.
DKB was admitted to the University of Ghana in 2005 and, after establishing himself at a campus event, began a professional stand-up comedy career there. When he represented Ghana in the Big Brother Africa (season 7) in 2012, his popularity increased.

In a one-on-one interview with Ekow Koomson, co-host of 30 Minutes on Citi TV, DKB discussed how his career in comedy got started and expressed his resentment toward his management team for eating food he received as a prize for winning a contest on campus.
“There was this competition on campus at Commonwealth hall. When I got there I was asked by the MC if I can fool. After doubting my capabilities, he gave me the mic and after cracking two jokes, they named me the winner,” DKB told Ekow Koomson.
“Immediately I got down from the stage, I became an instant celebrity… I got a manager, PRO, and a road manager. In fact, I was flanked by my classmates who started managing me… My reward was 2 sticks of Khebab, 2 cups of juice, a pack of popcorn and something else”.
The popular comedian said members of his management denied receiving the items.
“When I asked them if they had received the items, they denied it, although you could clearly see oil stains on their mouth… My management consumed my items and I sacked them that same day”.
