On a recent episode of *United Showbiz*, popular Ghanaian media personality Nana Romeo criticized Delay’s recent interview with politician Akua Donkor, describing it as “disrespectful.” Nana Romeo argued that Delay, known for her no-nonsense and often direct approach, went too far with her line of questioning and tone. He asserted that the level of disrespect shown to Akua Donkor was unwarranted and called for Delay to issue a public apology.
Nana Romeo, who is himself a seasoned media figure, expressed concern over what he perceived as a growing trend of aggressive interviewing styles in Ghanaian media. “Akua Donkor is a public figure and deserves respect, regardless of whether you agree with her views or not,” he remarked. Nana Romeo went on to point out specific moments in the interview where he felt Delay’s tone and choice of words were not only harsh but also dismissive toward Akua Donkor’s ideas and political aspirations.
The interview in question generated significant conversation among viewers, with reactions split between those who enjoyed Delay’s confrontational style and others who agreed with Nana Romeo’s criticisms. Supporters of Delay argued that her approach helps to reveal a side of guests that audiences don’t typically see, often challenging public figures to defend their positions. However, others found the interview with Akua Donkor particularly uncomfortable, feeling that it crossed a line.
Nana Romeo’s call for an apology has added to the debate, raising questions about journalistic ethics and the boundaries of media interviews. He emphasized that while Delay’s style has made her popular, maintaining a basic level of respect is essential, especially when interviewing senior public figures. “Respect should always come first, and I think Delay missed the mark here,” he said on *United Showbiz*.
Following his comments, some social media users expressed support for Nana Romeo’s stance, urging Delay to address the criticisms and consider an apology. Others, however, defended her, arguing that she’s simply known for being unapologetically honest. As the debate unfolds, Delay’s interviewing methods remain in the spotlight, sparking broader conversations about respect and professionalism in Ghanaian media.
