It seems the alleged feud between Ghanaian actress Nana Ama McBrown and gospel musician Empress Gifty has taken a new turn, as fresh discussions among netizens have sprung up about the two rival TV personalities. <\/p>\n During a recent appearance at a birthday party, Nana Ama McBrown, who has long embraced the \u2018Empress\u2019 title, announced that she has dropped it. <\/p>\n Without revealing the exact reasons for her decision, McBrown declared that from now on, she should be addressed as “Her Excellency.” <\/p>\n “From now on, no one should call me Empress Nana Ama McBrown. You should only address me as ‘Her Excellency,'” she announced. <\/p>\n In response to McBrown\u2019s statement, Empress Gifty, who has long been in a battle over the \u2018Empress\u2019 title with McBrown, reaffirmed her ownership of the name. <\/p>\n On the November 30, 2024, during a recent episode of the \u2018United Showbiz\u2019, Gifty emphasised that \u201cEmpress\u201d is not just a title, but her gazetted name, backed by official documents. <\/p>\n “My name is Empress Gifty, the gazetted Empress. I\u2019ve paid the government for it, and I have all the documents. So, from now on, address me as ‘Empress’ and I\u2019ll respond,” she emphasised. <\/p>\n Background<\/b> <\/p>\n Beyond their rivalry on TV and the petty jabs exchanged online, McBrown and Empress Gifty have long been caught in a \u2018tug-of-war’ over the \u2018Empress\u2019 title, which both have used to build their public personalities. <\/p>\n The two, widely known by the title “Empress,” have openly discussed how it became a part of their brand identities. <\/p>\n Recently, in an interview on Pure FM, Empress Gifty explained that she had officially registered the name when she entered the showbiz industry. <\/p>\n She even referenced her 2016 car number plate, \u201cEmpress 16,\u201d as proof of her claim. <\/p>\n \u201cThere are many people who use the name Empress, but for me, it\u2019s my name. My sister, McBrown, even uses it,\u201d she stated. <\/p>\n Empress Gifty added, “The key is not to let anyone come between you and the relationships you’ve built. I\u2019ve always had a beautiful relationship with the name Empress Gifty.” <\/p>\n Watch the full video below: <\/b> <\/p>\n![\"Nana](\"https:\/\/cdn.ghanaweb.com\/imagelib\/pics\/737\/73728967.295.jpg\" "\\"Nana")
