Why he might be annoying:

    His Wikipedia page lists his birthplace as Monrovia, but most every other source lists his having been born in Ghana.
    His comedy panders to stereotypes of African immigrants (he even wears a dashiki in his stand-up).
    He starred in a Chappelle's Show promo.
    He proposed to his girlfriend during a Breakfast Club interview (July 31, 2021).
    He has had beefs with 50 Cent and Kevin Hart.
    He was accused of sneak dissing MLK in a (since deleted) tweet asking if he had 'a white side chick.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    His biggest inspiration is Eddie Murphy.
    He emigrated from Ghana to Newark when he was thirteen - settling in Philadelphia two years later.
    He began pursuing comedy after his coworker at Domino's suggested he try an open mic night.
    His debut film role as an irate African CD customer in Next Friday - barely two minutes in screen time - won him a fan following.
    He has been open about his son's battle with drugs and his efforts to help him recover.
    He officially became a U.S naturalized citizen (November 24, 2021).
    He has become a regular fixture on Nick Cannon's Wild 'N Out roasting show.
