Lily Mohammed's online spat with Louisa Laryea
The RTP award win comes less than two weeks after Lily Mohammed got entangled in a social media spat with Louisa Laryea, wife of renowned broadcaster Israel Laryea.
The GHOne presented came under heavy bashing on social media after she criticised Foreign Affairs Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa's decision to hand American streamer IShowsSpeed a Ghanaian passport after the 21-year-old's visit.
She had questioned what Speed had done to deserve a Ghanaian passport, adding that acclaimed GH YouTuber Wode Maya had been projecting the country to the world but had never been issued an American passport for his work.
However, she ultimately apologised to Okudzeto Ablakwa after many accused her of disrespecting the minister.
One of Lily Mohammed's strongest critics on the IShowSpeed saga was Louisa Laryea, who cast insinuations suggesting that the GHOne TV presenter was all about looks and not a deep enough journalist to have sound reasoning.
Louisa Laryea's post landed her in trouble on social media, as many online users blasted her for going too far with her critique of Lily Mohammed over the Speed matter.
