It has been in an incredible week for Ghanaian comedian Akwasi Boadi, also known as Akrobeto, having been featured prominently in the international sports media.
The 58 year old, who got attention from Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta and a host of other television platforms in Spain culling his work, has now also attracted the attention of former Manchester United left back Patrice Evra who has called Akrobeto N’golo Kante’s uncle.
Evra, 39, posted a video of Akrobeto reading out COVID-19 numbers to his more than 7 million followers and captioned it;
“Finally we got the real #covid_19 cases 😭😭😭 @nglkante can you come and pick up your uncle please 😂❤️🔥🙏🏽 #ilovethisgame #positive4evra #savage”
The replies to the post included comments from former Chelsea captain John Terry, former Barcelona striker Patrick Kluivert and France international Blaise Matuidi who all posted laughing emojis, clearly seing the funny side of the video.
