Speaking on Live FM in Accra, the host of Kasapa FM’s mid-morning show, Aben W) Ha said she used to wash Delay’s clothes and cleaned her boyfriend’s house because she [Delay] had money more than her. She later realised that her younger sister was older than Delay and decided not to be her “slave” anymore.
“When I came back in 2010, I contacted a friend called Scholastica that ‘ this is what I want to do , I want to shoot a reality show on me because then I’ve been watching the Kardashians for God knows how long and I thought you know what, this will fly in Ghana with a very funny personality.
“We were eating at Holiday Inn when we crossed Deloris. Then she was dating Kobby who had a little chicken change. He decided to finance the show and because he was financing the show, I’m saying this on record, I had to… I used to wash Deloris’ clothes. Somebody that I fed… somebody that I gave shelter. I used to clean the house of her boyfriend because then I didn’t have money and she had the money so I was her slave.”

“It got to a point Deloris would dictate to me who to date and who not to date. When the cup was full, I was like ‘hey I’m two and half years older than this little girl, even my younger sister is one year seven months older than you, why would I let down myself because I’m working for you and you are not paying me”, she said.
Afia Schwarzenegger who played a lead role in the popular produced by Delay stated that she was given a meagre amount from the lot the production made from sponsorship deals.
“We were walking one day and we ran into the Marketing Manager of Expresso who happened to be somebody that I knew from South Africa and Expresso gave us one year sponsorship, out of it Deloris was paying me two million [GH₵200].
“Afia Schwarzenegger was making 300 million [GH₵30,000] and I was getting 2 million [GH₵200] from it, after all the insults. I’m a business-minded person, I realised this will not get me anywhere so let me just take a bow and leave and then she felt ‘if you are not going with me, then you are my enemy’”, she said.
She continued that she was inspired by highlife artiste, Kwabena Kwabena to “step up” her game after the artiste acknowledged her talent.

“I had just met Kwabena Kwabena and he told me ‘you have something but you don’t know, you think Deloris is everything but I’m telling you – if you can step up your game and start nurturing what you have someday you will sit somewhere and thank me’. And every day in my life as a comedian, I’m grateful to Kwabena Kwabena because he thought he said something in passing but I sat down pondered over it and decided to move on”, she stated.
Afia Schwarzenegger indicated that she was waiting for Delay to apologise to her although she has forgiven her.
“Well, I’m still waiting for her apology letter and the whisky. I have forgiven her but still I’m waiting for the apology,” she noted.
