Ghanaian comedian Lekzy DeComic has criticized the entertainment industry for allowing discussions to be led by people who lack the necessary expertise. Speaking on 3Music TV, he argued that these platforms often feature personalities who are popular but not qualified to provide meaningful insights into creative issues.
Lekzy explained that while public dialogue about the arts is important, it becomes counterproductive when the wrong individuals dominate the conversation. He drew comparisons with other fields, noting that society expects qualified professionals to speak on topics like health or agriculture, and he believes the same standard should be applied in entertainment.
Comedy, he emphasized, is a craft that deserves informed voices. According to Lekzy, discussions about the genre should include those who actively practice or deeply understand comedy, rather than relying on commentators who have no practical knowledge. He suggested that including unqualified people not only dilutes the conversation but can also mislead audiences.
He pointed out that some individuals have a basic understanding of the craft, while others have none but still manage to dominate debates. Lekzy argued that elevating the right voices would ensure that discussions in the creative industry remain credible and constructive, ultimately benefiting both performers and audiences.
