During Daddy Lumba’s recent birthday party, a video captured a lady attempting to grab Nana Ama McBrown’s handbag, which led to public backlash against her, branding her a thief.
Tackling this issue, McBrown has expressed her dismay over how the lady was treated unfairly on social media.
In a discussion on Onua Showtime, Nana Ama McBrown has clarified that the woman in question is her producer, who was simply trying to secure her bag for safety as they navigated the crowded event.
McBrown explained that when her producer reached for the bag, she insisted on carrying it herself because it complemented her outfit.
At that moment, security and other attendees yelled at the producer, creating the impression that she was an outsider attempting to steal the handbag.
“There’s a video trending online from when I arrived at the event. My producer reached for my handbag, and I refused. This led to the misunderstanding that she was trying to steal from me because people didn’t know she was my producer,” she said.
She added that her producer, Anita, called her in tears, unable to handle the online attacks and insults.
McBrown further said she reminded her producer that dealing with stardom isn't easy and advised her to prepare for more challenges.
“She (Anita) called me crying on the phone. She could not handle the attacks and insults online. I asked her if she had now seen what I go through on the internet on a daily basis. I told her stardom isn't easy and that she should brace herself up for more,” she stated.
Discussing the online environment, McBrown criticised Twitter, calling it a wild place.
She expressed her preference for Instagram and TikTok, stating that Twitter feels too uptight and its users are often unkind.
