She described days when she went without food, relying on friends returning from work to share a meal.

"The friend would then go and buy 'check check' (fried rice), which we shared," Delay recalled.

To show the severity of her situation at the time, Delay, who recently denied rumours of dating Amerado, stated that she only owned one pair of brassiere and had to "repair" continuously because of constant wear and tear.

"At a point, I had only one brassiere. One hand would get torn, and I would sew it and use it again," she said while laughing.

The revelation starkly contrasts her status as one of Ghana's leading media personalities. Today, Delay is known for her polished appearance and successful business ventures, though she frequently reflects on her challenging journey to the top.
