Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Salma Mumin has voiced her disappointment over media personality Deloris Frimpong Manso, popularly known as Delay, and her approach in a recent interview with Madam Akua Donkor, the late founder of the Ghana Freedom Party.

Appearing on United Showbiz on UTV Ghana, Salma expressed that she found Delay’s interviewing style disrespectful and unprofessional, saying it often feels like a personal attack on the guest.

Having previously experienced Delay’s questioning style herself, Salma noted that Delay’s approach, particularly through her questioning and expressions, can sometimes make guests feel as though they are being “put on the spot” or “under attack.”

Reflecting on Delay’s interview with Akua Donkor, Salma stated, “I felt there was a lot going on... the disrespect was too much, aside from the fact that she was doing her job.”

Salma Mumin highlighted that some presenters, even when questions are prearranged with guests, sometimes opt to ask surprising or provocative questions to elicit a reaction, a tactic she perceives as intentionally harmful.

She unfavourably contrasted this method with that of American singer Beyoncé, pointing out that she takes care to plan her interviews to prevent any disrespectful exchanges.

While Salma acknowledged that Delay's questions were not inherently offensive, she noted that the tone and insistence behind them contributed to an uncomfortable atmosphere.

“When you ask your guest a question and they answer, it should end there. If you keep hammering on the same question, it’s like you are expecting a different answer... It means you have evil intentions,” she emphasised, adding that this style feels like a deliberate attempt to embarrass the guest.

Salma’s critique has added to the ongoing conversation about the ethics of interviewing, sparking discussions on respectful engagement in Ghanaian media.
