Michael Blackson shared insights into his journey from Africa to becoming a household name in comedy and personal sacrifices along the way. He explained the name change to "Blackson" came after his deeply religious mother took him and his siblings from their father, who wasn't as devout. The change signified "son of a black man," a reflection of his heritage. Touching on family dynamics, Blackson revealed the disconnect that developed, as he only briefly reconnected with his father once before his passing. Despite this, he finds solace in the belief that the separation paved the way for his global success, suggesting it was "part of God's plan."
In a more recent revelation, Blackson humorously lamented a financial misstep, claiming his $1.2 million loan to Ghana had been metaphorically "kidnapped" by an African cartel. Despite the setback, his focus remains on contributing positively to Africa and leveraging his platform to make a difference.
