Renowned Nigerian comedian Josh2funny has taken to Twitter to address the growing number of critics who question his authenticity and comedic approach. In a candid tweet, the comic icon expressed that while some people struggle to “take him seriously,” his real fans—whom he described as “geniuses”—are the ones who truly understand his style and message.
The tweet, posted earlier this week, reads: “I see comments like ‘I can’t take Josh Serious’ and I’ve come to a conclusion that my real fans, the ones that understand what JOSH is about, are Geniuses, you need to get it. In this place, we get a platter for a big price of 1 plate.”
In his message, Josh2funny seems to be defending his unique brand of humor, which often blends sarcasm, satire, and absurdity. The phrase “get a platter for a big price of 1 plate” likely refers to his witty and unexpected comedic delivery—where he challenges conventional thinking and offers up surprising, sometimes paradoxical perspectives.
Fans of Josh2funny, who have rallied behind the comedian, quickly responded with support, praising his originality and ability to stay true to his comedic roots. “Josh2funny is one of the few comedians in Nigeria who aren’t afraid to be different,” said one follower. “He’s not here to follow trends, he’s here to make his own.”
The comedian’s Twitter post follows a growing trend in Nigerian entertainment, where many creatives are grappling with online criticism while reinforcing the importance of artistic freedom and self-expression. Josh2funny’s loyal fanbase seems to appreciate his non-conformist approach, which has earned him a strong following across various social media platforms.
Whether or not his critics will come around to his unconventional style remains to be seen, but Josh2funny’s message appears to be clear: if you don’t get it, perhaps it’s time to re-evaluate the lens through which you view comedy.
The comedian, known for viral skits and his clever use of Nigerian pidgin, continues to be a staple in the country’s entertainment scene.
