Exactly the same arguments I raised days after news went viral that Wanlov D Kubolor had shown his manhood on national Televsion when that was never the case. I was lashed by many in the industry who believed I was only rescuing the situation because the said artist was a close friend I will defend at any circumstance. (I wonder even if as an individual, I could rescue a situation looking at the individuals involved.)
Just when one of the most authoritative news websites myjoyonline had joined the bandwagon to publish a hollow news item on this same issue, I was forced to throw a challenge at any individual who could present videos or even a picture of the said act on TV3 and I’m yet to receive one.
In a recent interview with popular satirist KSM on Thank God Its Friday, Delay as she is affectionately known threw more light on what took the Ghanaian media into a frenzy.
Read below;
KSM: How did you get Wanlov to show his dingling mehn?
DELAY: First of all, I didn’t show it on TV, like people said I did. It was censored. I am a professional, I have been in this media business for over fourteen years and I wouldn’t do that. It’s against the ethics. It was censored and unfortunately the rough cut leaked onto Youtube and then Facebook and became viral. So people who didn’t watch the show on TV concluded I showed it on TV.
But as usual I just kept my cool, and knew the truth was going to vindicate me. So my show was taken off air for a month and two weeks and the truth finally set me free. My show came back on TV.
I am the presenter so whatever I want my guest to do I have to squeeze out of them, so if I’m like, ‘take the gun and kill yourself, you should kill yourself. I’m Delay, so you should whatever I want you to do.
On this day, I throw the challenge again for anyone to clearly prove he saw Wanlov’s “thing” on TV. The media could just be killing us slowly.
