Delay questions Ama Yeboah about her boyfriend
In a video that has since gone viral, Delay did not shy away from putting Ama Yeboah in the spotlight.
She asked the young content creator about her romantic experiences, including whether she had ever dated or been involved in relationships with men.
The line of questioning proved particularly uncomfortable for Ama, as she was asked to address such personal matters in the presence of her mother, who was seated nearby and watching closely.
Despite the awkwardness of discussing sensitive topics on a public platform, the content creator handled the situation with confidence.
She opened up about her first experience with a young man, carefully navigating the delicate subject with composure.
Her mother later intervened during the discussion, coming to her daughter’s defence and explaining that Ama had been open with her about her past experiences even before she began dating her ex-partner.
