Ohemaa Woyeje is a popular media personality
Popular Ghanaian media personality Ohemaa Woyeje has firmly dismissed rumours of a feud with colleague broadcaster Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, describing the narrative as fake news.
Speaking on Okay FM in an interview with Nana Romeo, Ohemaa Woyeje said that despite widespread speculation, there has never been any personal conflict between them.
“I don’t have any issue with Delay. We used to work together at Top Radio. We’ve never had any issue at all,” she stated.
Recounting their time at Top Radio, Woyeje described their relationship as cordial, insisting she supported her colleague throughout their working period and that no misunderstanding existed between them.
How the speculation began
According to Woyeje, what may have fuelled the rumours was the sequence of events surrounding Delay’s departure from the station.
She revealed that Delay had quietly planned her exit without informing management, and it was only on a Sunday evening that a tip-off alerted the station to her imminent departure, just hours before her weekday show was due to air.
“So she had planned secretly to leave and did not inform management. It was until Sunday evening that someone informed management about her intention to exit the station. Meanwhile, her show was on weekdays,” she explained.
With the station scrambling for a solution, the station manager turned to Woyeje and asked her to step in the very next day.
“He called me that Sunday evening to replace Delay the next day. He said he had noticed that I was good at the news presenting I used to do and, since I was a female, I was the best pick,” she recounted.
Woyeje accepted the offer and stepped into the role under considerable pressure.
She revealed that colleagues coached her on delivery and even advised her to withhold her name on air initially as a strategy to retain listeners.
“They had to save the station from collapsing because Delay was very powerful. So when I came on air, those who would have tuned off if they didn’t hear her voice still stayed tuned because they could hear a woman’s voice,” she said, adding that only Delay’s most loyal fans left in search of her.
Woyeje acknowledged that the move may have had unintended consequences for Delay, suggesting it likely reduced the number of listeners who followed her to her next destination.
“It saved the station but it affected her in a way. Maybe because the numbers she would have taken to where she went wasn’t what eventually went,” she noted.
Despite all of this, Woyeje maintained that the situation never created any personal animosity between them.
“Delay and I have no issues. It is just fake news,” she said.
