Delay faces backlash over Ama Yeboah interview
After the interview aired, Delay faced criticism on social media, both by ordinary Ghanaians and prominent media personalities.
Many described her line of questioning as unnecessary, especially due to the fact that Ama Yeboah’s mother was present.
She was also called out over the fact that she often claps back at netizens who ask her questions about topics she considers sensitive, such as her marital status.
Metro TV entertainment presenter Baaba Cann went viral after slamming Delay over the interview, levelling serious allegations against the presenter.
"If someone comes under your post to ask about when you intend to marry, you give them cheeky answers. You hide the fact that you have a child. Why do you see the need to hide it? I do not believe that if someone wants to interview Delay, she would agree, because she knows she would be asked about those things and wants to hide them," she alleged.
