Popular Ghanaian media personality Delay has come under intense public criticism following a controversial question posed to social media influencer Ama Yeboah during a recent interview — a moment that became even more uncomfortable as it was asked in the presence of Ama Yeboah’s mother.
Delay’s Question That Sparked National Backlash
The blunt question, “Are you a virgin?”, has since gone viral, igniting widespread debate about boundaries, respect, and responsible media practice in Ghana.
Moment That Triggered the Outrage
The incident occurred during an interview segment where sensitive personal topics were being discussed. Viewers immediately expressed shock when Delay asked Ama Yeboah about her virginity while her mother sat beside her, visibly uncomfortable.
Clips of the exchange quickly spread across TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram, with many users describing the moment as “unnecessary,” “disrespectful,” and “humiliating.”
Public Reaction: Divided but Loud
While some viewers defended Delay, arguing that her interview style is known for being bold and unfiltered, a much larger section of the public condemned the question as crossing ethical and cultural lines.
Critics argue that asking such an intimate question in front of a parent, especially on a public platform, reflects a troubling trend in Ghana’s media space where shock value is prioritized over dignity.
Silence From Delay and Ama Yeboah
As of publication, neither Delay nor Ama Yeboah has issued an official statement addressing the backlash. However, social commentators say the silence has only intensified online discussions, with many calling for clearer standards on interview conduct.
Broader Conversation on Media Ethics
The controversy has reopened conversations about media ethics, consent, and the responsibility of influential broadcasters in shaping public discourse. Media analysts stress that while tough questions are part of journalism, context and sensitivity remain crucial.
