Ghanaian TikTok comic star Killer Ntua has shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story of how one of his early skits required him to endure four hard slaps.
Speaking in an interview on The Delay Show, the content creator recounted his rise in the skit-making industry using TikTok.
According to Killer Ntua, after completing senior high school, he became close friends with Last Hero, now his regular collaborator.
At the time, Last Hero was selling fried rice to survive. But business was slow, and he eventually abandoned it to try his luck in lottery sales after running at a loss.
“When TikTok became popular in Ghana, people encouraged me to get into content because they knew I was funny,” Killer Ntua said. “I really liked Last Hero and always went to him to eat because he also liked me. One day, I told him I had a content idea, that he should give me about four slaps like a soldier,” he stated.
He explained that he insisted on feeling real pain to make the video as funny and authentic as possible.
“If I didn’t feel the slap well, I told him to hit me again until it came out right,” he narrated amid laughter.
At the time, they had no equipment of their own and often borrowed phones just to shoot. Eventually, their commitment gradually began paying off.
Subsequently, an early TikTok account they built together grew to 27,000 followers, but disaster struck when the account was hacked.
“We had to start all over again. Life was very difficult,” he added.
He said the second attempt, however, marked a turning point, as their next account finally gave them the breakthrough they had long worked for.
