Ghanaian media personality Nana Ama McBrown addressed her audience during the closing segment of her recent show, voicing frustration over gospel singer Empress Gifty’s unexpected absence.
“We shared our flyer about our guests, and Empress Gifty was supposed to be here. I’ve just been informed that she has to attend to an emergency and can’t make it. However, she didn’t provide any details about the emergency, and we don’t know what it entails,” McBrown explained.
Although McBrown wished Empress Gifty well, she expressed disappointment at the lack of direct communication. “Empress, you had to tell me at the last minute that you wouldn’t be able to make it? You had to tell your producer to inform my producer instead of calling me directly? You have my direct contact and WhatsApp number. Why didn’t you personally reach out?”
McBrown questioned how Empress Gifty would feel if treated similarly. “Would you be happy if I treated you the same way? Call me, or I won’t forgive you.”
This incident follows a recent cordial interaction between the two at Dr. Osei Kwame’s mother-in-law’s one-week observation, where Empress Gifty asked McBrown when she would promote her new song. McBrown responded, “I won’t let our enemies rejoice over us; I’ll record a video for your song, okay?” Empress replied, “Don’t let our enemies get to us, please.”
The tension between McBrown and Empress Gifty began when Empress Gifty’s cooking show replaced McBrown’s Kitchen on UTV after McBrown’s departure to Media General. Allegations of McBrown overshadowing Empress Gifty’s opportunities further intensified the rivalry.
Fans have taken to social media to discuss the ongoing tensions and speculate on the future of their relationship.
