In a humorous yet subtly assertive exchange, Energy Minister Dr.

Matthew Opoku Prempeh, affectionately known as Napo, has called out Ghanaian comedian OB Amponsah for using his name during a recent comedy show - and not cutting him in on the profits.

Speaking to the media, Napo remarked, "If somebody who is a comedian is using my name and he is filling halls, I am very happy. "I thank him because he is putting my name out there for free.

But I will let my lawyers write to him so that we share the proceeds, the revenue, because I am unemployed." While the minister may not actually be sending any legal letters, his tongue-in-cheek demand highlights a growing trend: politicians becoming part of pop culture, whether intentionally or not.
