This interview was highly anticipated, marking the first public encounter between the two since McBrown left her role at UTV, a spot that was later filled by Empress Gifty. Fans were eager to witness the interaction between these two powerhouse women, especially given the underlying tension surrounding McBrown’s departure and Gifty’s subsequent rise in the entertainment industry.
To build excitement for the interview, Empress Gifty shared promotional material on her social media, confirming her scheduled appearance. However, much to the disappointment of fans and McBrown herself, Gifty was a no-show. Instead of appearing on the show, she sent a message to McBrown, stating she was unable to attend.
McBrown, visibly frustrated, did not hold back her feelings during the live broadcast. She publicly called out Empress Gifty, expressing her disappointment and demanding an apology for the last-minute cancellation.
McBrown’s reaction set off a wave of social media discussions, with viewers debating the reasons behind Gifty’s absence and speculating on the real dynamics between the two women.
For a while, the incident seemed to fade from the spotlight—until Empress Gifty reignited the conversation with a cryptic video shared on her social media. In the video, Gifty addressed how she deals with people who criticize her in public, offering a calm but pointed message about maintaining dignity in the face of public judgment.
While she didn’t mention McBrown by name, many of her followers quickly linked the video to the earlier controversy, interpreting it as a subtle response to the TV host’s public call-out.
Reactions to the video were mixed. Some fans believed Gifty was indirectly addressing McBrown, while others insisted the video was more general, aimed at addressing public criticism in all its forms.
Regardless of the intent, the video sparked another round of discussions, with social media users once again taking sides and analyzing the ongoing tension between the two public figures.
The relationship between Empress Gifty and Nana Ama McBrown has been the subject of quiet speculation for some time. McBrown, a beloved actress and media personality, shocked her fans when she left her long-standing role at UTV.
Her exit left a significant gap, one that was soon filled by Empress Gifty, who transitioned from her gospel music career into a television host.
While there was no overt animosity between the two women, their overlapping careers in entertainment naturally led to comparisons. Fans often pitted them against each other, with some seeing Gifty as McBrown’s replacement, and others believing the two could coexist without issue.
When McBrown invited Gifty to appear on her new show, many saw it as a gesture of goodwill—an opportunity to publicly squash any perceived tension. But Gifty’s unexpected absence from the interview has only fueled rumours of an underlying rivalry.

McBrown’s public call for an apology suggested that she took the snub personally, while Gifty’s more subtle response indicates that she prefers to maintain her composure rather than engage in a public back-and-forth.
