Okatakyie Afrifa, in a recent episode of his For The Records podcast, made the allegations against Kwaku Manu.

The media personality's allegations come after an exchange of jabs online with Kwaku Manu.

The two have been at each other's throats ever since Kwaku Manu appealed to President John Mahama to police media freedom and target the likes of Twene Jonas, who have become firebrands by verbally abusing top personalities in Ghana.

According to Kwaku Manu, the media operations of Twene Jonas and the likes have sullied the reputation of top personalities in the country and cannot be encouraged.

Okatakyie Afrifa also argued that the actor's plea is politically motivated to limit the pressure on the incumbent government.

Okatakyie is a sworn affiliate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), while Kwaku Manu gravitates towards the National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by Ghana's current president, John Dramani Mahama.

"You were in this town when Asantehene's name was thrown into disrepute. You were campaigning for the NDC then, so you watched on aloof," Okatakyie Afrifa noted.
