Comedian Akilah Hughes implied that Elle Key, the wife of Key and Peele comedian Keegan-Michael Key, has “ruined” her husband’s career due to her hostile behavior. Hughes avoids the explicit mention of the actor and his wife, but the pseudonyms as well as other hints in her story point to the possibility that the comedian is talking about the pair.
In her latest comedy set, Hughes’ story revolved around the first half of the comedy duo, “Lock and Banana,” and her experience working with him back in 2020. Hughes pitched her show, and at that time, Lock managed to strike a deal with SNL.
