Kevin Taylor slams Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah
YEN.com.gh previously reported Kevin Taylor had slammed Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah after the latter jabbed the host of Onua Maakye for making supposed false accusations.
It all began a few weeks ago when Captain Smart took to his show to allege that Okatakyie had been relocated to America by the New Patriotic Party to compete with Taylor.
His allegation caught the attention of Ghanaians, who had earlier thought Okatakyie had relocated for educational purposes, sparking a massive debate on social media.
