“I Would Go Days Without Eating” – Delay Recalls Her Struggles

Media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, widely known as Delay, has candidly discussed one of the most challenging periods in her life. In a recent video, she opened up about the financial difficulties she faced while living in Tema, where finding food became a daily struggle.

Delay recounted times when she was so broke that she would go an entire day without eating, waiting for a friend to return from work with some money. “The friend would then go and buy ‘check check’ (fried rice), which we shared,” she explained.

Now enjoying the fruits of her labor, Delay often indulges in maintaining a stylish appearance, frequently reflecting on the hardships she overcame to achieve her current success. The television host and entrepreneur has consistently shared her journey from rags to riches, emphasizing the transformative nature of her experience.

“My story is a typical grass-to-grace, from poverty to financial independence and success. It’s just from zero to hero, from a nobody to somebody,” she stated.

Delay highlighted the significant financial struggles she encountered in the early stages of her independent life, noting how she often relied on the support of friends during those tough times.
