Host of Onua Showtime Nana Ama McBrown voiced her discontent after Empress Gifty failed to appear for the most recent episode of her show.
Towards the end of the programme, McBrown addressed the absence, expressing her frustration regarding Gifty’s last-minute withdrawal, which was communicated through her producer rather than directly to her.
“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,” she explained.
McBrown added, “There’s nothing we can do about it. All we can do is wish her luck. But we’re pained by this. Empress, you had to tell me at the last minute that you wouldn’t be able to make it?”
Her frustration extended to the manner in which Empress communicated her absence.
“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?” she questioned.
McBrown further posed a question, “Would you be happy if I treated you the same way? Call me, or I won’t forgive you,” she stated.
Empress Gifty and McBrown’s recent interaction
Despite the rumored tension between them, Nana Ama McBrown and Empress Gifty shared an unexpectedly pleasant interaction at the one-week observance of Dr. Osei Kwame Despite’s mother-in-law.
The two were seen engaging in a friendly conversation, exchanging compliments, with no signs of a feud. During the event, Empress Gifty even took the chance to ask McBrown when she would help promote her new song.
“Please, you haven’t recorded a video for my new song yet,” she inquired.
McBrown assured her, saying, “I won’t let our enemies rejoice over us; I’ll record a video for your song, okay?” Empress responded, “Don’t let our enemies get to us, please.”
Background of their feud
The friction between Nana Ama McBrown and Empress Gifty began when Gifty introduced a new cooking show on UTV, which took over the slot previously held by “McBrown’s Kitchen” following McBrown’s move to Media General.
McBrown expressed her dissatisfaction, accusing others of imitating her concept and reaffirming her position in the cooking show space.
This sparked a back-and-forth between the two, further intensified by claims that McBrown had consistently outshone Gifty’s opportunities, including the “Onua Showtime” program.
Their rivalry has become a trending topic of conversation among fans on social media.
