The recent prank on Mama Liberia, one of Liberian trending comedians, has stirred up a lot of controversy among fans. While some have criticized Mama Liberia for not smiling in pictures with his fellow entertainers after the prank, others have sympathized with him and called for more respect for entertainers and their boundaries.
The Prank Scene
“Still Mie” and his team of fellow pranksters had gone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wait for Mama Liberia. After hours of waiting, the comedian finally came outside the ministry to head home.
While he was walking lonely, a lady [one of the pranksters] harassed him claiming that Mama Liberia ate her project’s money and blocked her on all social platforms.
Initially reacting, Mama Liberia thought it was just an ordinary joke. But as the lady began to intensify the tension, the comedian was losing his temper gradually.
When the pranksters announced to the comedian that it was a prank, he was furious, and it didn’t seem he wanted to take it any lightly. He was heard telling the pranksters, “this is not how to do a prank.”

The Reactions
Since the video dropped, the internet has divided over his failure to smile in the pictures the pranksters took with him. Most fans are disappointed with Mama Liberia’s reaction. They claimed that even though he felt embarrassed, he should have at least smiled as a way of showing love.

As Liberians follow suit with their fellow counterparts from Nigeria, the fans should get ready to see more of these kinds of content. Today is Mama Liberia; who knows who else day could be tomorrow?
