The spotlight turned on social media sensation Dulcie Boateng, widely known as the “Snapchat Queen,” as she engaged in a heated exchange with host Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay.
The focal point of the clash was the source of Dulcie’s wealth and the broader implications of probing individuals, especially women, about their financial success.
Delay, known for her candid interviews, raised questions about the authenticity of Dulcie’s wealth, drawing attention to the recent trend of individuals claiming businesses that later face legal issues such as romance scams.
The host expressed concerns that Dulcie might be involved in similar activities and using Snapchat to project a misleading image.
Swiftly responding to the probing questions, Dulcie fired back, challenging Delay on whether she would pose the same inquiries to a man.
“Will you ask a man the same question if he was sitting in front of you?”
Defending her position, Dulcie emphasised that gender should not be a determining factor in such financial inquiries.
Delay countered, citing previous instances where she had questioned men, including Medikal, and urged Dulcie not to play the gender card.
The interview took a turn as Delay highlighted instances in Ghana where individuals falsely claimed ownership of assets for attention, referencing Akuapem Poloo’s admission of fabricating car ownership for social media views.
“This is what is happening in Ghana,” Delay stated. “Akuapem Poloo came here and said she had bought the car, but she later admitted it was for views. I am not bullying you,” she added.
Despite the escalating tension, Dulcie stood her ground, expressing scepticism about the motives behind questioning women about their sources of income.
“I don’t think you are [bullying], to know where women get their money from.”
The conversation also touched on Dulcie’s past experiences, notably her time at Achimota school, where she faced pressure.
Delay suggested that Dulcie might be subjecting other girls to similar pressures, to which Dulcie responded by affirming her ability to turn pressure into positive outcomes.
In a surprising revelation, the Snapchat Queen disclosed that she had financed the construction of her four-bedroom house solely through earnings amassed from her activities on Snapchat, vehemently asserting the legitimacy of her wealth.
The intense exchange on The Delay Show has since sparked widespread discussions on social media, with opinions divided on the appropriateness of probing individuals, especially women, about the sources of their wealth.
The clash between Delay and the Snapchat Queen has become a focal point for a broader conversation about societal expectations and financial scrutiny.
