Nana Ama McBrown expressed disappointment when gospel singer Empress Gifty failed to appear on a recent episode of her show, Onua Showtime.
Toward the end of the program, Nana Ama addressed the audience, revealing her frustration with Empress Gifty’s last-minute withdrawal, which was communicated through a producer rather than directly.
“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 said.
Nana Ama went on to express her displeasure with how the cancellation was communicated. “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, further adding, “Would you be happy if I treated you the same way? Call me, or Else I won’t forgive you.”
A perceived strained relationship between the two began when Empress Gifty launched a cooking show on UTV, replacing McBrown’s Kitchen after Nana left for Media General.
She had previously criticized “copycat” cooking shows, which led to speculation that her comments were directed at Empress Gifty. This rivalry has since stirred conversation among their fans on social media.
