Delay: Being Sacked from Multimedia Was the Turning Point That Sparked My Success
Ghanaian media mogul Deloris Frimpong Manso, widely known as Delay, has revealed that her unexpected dismissal from Multimedia Group years ago was the catalyst that ultimately propelled her to greatness.
In a candid interview on The Delay Show with Akumaa Mama Zimbi, Delay reflected on the pivotal moment:
“I always wanted to work there, but my destiny was not there. One morning, Nuamah called me and asked me never to step foot there again. At that time, I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know why they were sacking me when I hadn’t done anything untoward. But if I hadn’t left, I wouldn’t have been here. Sometimes, God redirects our path, but because we’re humans, we don’t see it. So, I’m grateful for the dismissal.”
Though the experience was initially painful, Delay credits that turning point with giving birth to her own media brand and paving the way for her rise as one of Ghana’s most influential TV personalities.
Her former colleague, media icon Akumaa Mama Zimbi, also shared her own struggles—recalling how she worked multiple roles at Multimedia for eight years without pay before landing a breakthrough hosting job that led to long-term success.
