Not Everyone Needs to Speak on Every Topic in the Entertainment Industry – Lekzy DeComic

In a candid interview published on GhanaWeb’s Entertainment portal, rising comic star Lekzy DeComic took a stand on a topic that has increasingly become a point of debate among performers in Ghana’s dynamic entertainment landscape. The artist, who has been steadily carving out a niche with his sharp wit and relatable humour, argued that entertainers should not feel compelled to comment on every issue that surfaces in the media or on social media. Instead, he advocates a more focused, authentic approach—one that respects both the artist’s brand and the audience’s expectations.

A Brief About Lekzy DeComic

Lekzy DeComic, whose real name is Mohammed Kofi, first burst onto the Ghanaian comedy scene in 2020 with a series of short videos that showcased his uncanny ability to riff on everyday life, especially in the context of relationships and urban living. By 2023, he was a household name, regularly performing at major venues in Accra, and he had amassed a considerable following on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. His comedic style, often likened to that of Ghana’s own “Kwaku Osei” and “Kofi Adjorlolo,” blends observational humour with satirical commentary, but he has never shied away from addressing the social and cultural nuances of Ghanaian life.

The Core Message: Speak Where You’re Comfortable

In the article, Lekzy begins by acknowledging the growing pressure on public figures to be “voices” on a broad array of subjects—from politics to social justice, from environmental concerns to celebrity gossip. “We’re in a time where everyone’s a commentator. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it’s important to know your boundaries,” he says. The comedian points out that not all entertainers possess the depth or the desire to engage with every topic that is deemed “hot” or “trending.”

He highlights how the pressure to speak can, at times, lead to “performative activism” or misinformation. “When you talk about something that you’re not well-versed in, there’s a risk of diluting the message or, worse, spreading wrong information,” Lekzy warns. In an era where a single tweet or a short video clip can go viral in hours, the stakes are higher than ever.

Authenticity Over Obligation

A recurring theme in Lekzy’s comments is the importance of authenticity. He explains that authenticity fuels creativity: “When you’re true to your own voice, the audience can feel it. That connection is what keeps people coming back.” He cites examples of other Ghanaian comedians—such as Kofi Adjorlolo and Kwesi Agyekum—who have successfully carved out distinct spaces for themselves by focusing on specific niches: politics, social commentary, or simply everyday comedy. Lekzy urges emerging artists to find their “sweet spot,” to ask themselves what topics they can speak to with depth and originality, and to be comfortable staying silent on subjects that don’t align with their values or expertise.

The Risks of Over‑Saturation

Lekzy also speaks candidly about the dangers of oversaturation in the digital age. He notes that the entertainment industry is flooded with “content that aims to be relevant to everyone.” When an entertainer tries to touch every trend, they risk losing their core message and alienating fans. He shares an anecdote about a fellow comedian who once commented on a political scandal and received backlash from both supporters and critics for what many saw as an ill‑prepared take. “That experience taught them to think carefully about the impact of their words,” Lekzy says.

Moreover, the comedian points to how the proliferation of “click‑bait” content can erode trust. “When audiences keep hearing contradictory views from the same person, they begin to question authenticity,” he notes. “In my experience, fans will be more likely to follow an entertainer who is honest about what they can offer.”

Encouraging Fans to Curate Their Own Media Diet

An often‑overlooked aspect of the discussion is the responsibility of the audience. Lekzy emphasizes that fans too play a role in shaping what content circulates. He encourages listeners and viewers to be critical of the messages they consume and to support artists who speak on issues that resonate with them. “We all benefit when entertainers are selective,” he says. “You don’t have to keep up with every conversation. Choose the ones that matter to you.”

Conclusion: A Call for Thoughtful Engagement

In wrapping up the interview, Lekzy offers a practical takeaway for both entertainers and audiences alike: “Know your niche. Speak where you’re comfortable. Stay true to yourself and your audience. The world doesn’t need every voice on every topic, but it does need authenticity.” He acknowledges the inevitable evolution of his own career and signals that he will continue to prioritize quality over quantity in his future projects.

The article—available on GhanaWeb’s Entertainment section—serves as a timely reminder that the digital age has reshaped the way public figures engage with society. As Ghana’s entertainment industry continues to expand, artists like Lekzy DeComic are redefining the boundaries of influence, championing authenticity and mindful engagement over the relentless pursuit of relevance. His perspective underscores an essential truth: not every platform, not every comment, is necessary for a successful career, and sometimes, the most powerful voice is the one that chooses its moments wisely.
