Delay talks about being fired from Multimedia
In an exclusive interview on the Delay Show with Ghanaian media personality Joyce Akumaa Dongotey-Padi, widely known as Akumaa Mama Zimbi, she reminisced on how she was sacked from the Multimedia Group years ago without any justifiable reasons.
During the interactive conversation, Delay asserted that leaving the company changed her story from grass to grace.
“I always wanted to work there, but my destiny was not there. One morning, Nuamah called me and asked me never to step foot there again. At that time, I didn’t understand it.
“I didn’t know why they were sacking me when I hadn’t done anything untoward. But if I hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have been here. Sometimes, God redirects our path, but because we’re humans, we don’t see it. So, I’m grateful for the dismissal,” she said.
Akumaa recounts Multimedia career of 25 years
However, Ghanaian media personality Akumaa Mama Zimbi, a former colleague of Delay, highlighted that she worked as a front desk receptionist, producer among other tasks for eight years without a salary.
The talented actress explained why her story changed when she met the founder of Multimedia, Kwasi Twum, who gave her the green light to start a relationship talk show, which became a household name in Ghana.

Akumaa emphatically stated that she promised Kwasi Twum that she would serve the company regardless of the obstacles which might come her way.
“I thank God for giving me that level of patience to be there for 25 years,” Akumaa said.
