Tempers rose high on Accra FM on Sunday, January 22 when Ghanaian gospel musician Abena Ruthy visited the station for an interview on the station’s gospel entertainment show, Gospel 360.
The musician who is expected to launch her second album, “Higher Praise” on Sunday, January 29 at the National Theater in Accra was on the show as part of her media tour to promote the event. Minutes into the interview, Andy Favoured, host of the show’s plan to surprise Abena Ruthy with a birthday song was well executed by one fast rising Nigerian musician called Minister Igwe.
After Minister Igwe’s performance, Andy Favoured asked his guest, Abena Ruthy to hold on her breath for him to interview the Nigerian for few minutes because he was also on the show to premiere his new single.
The banker who doubles as musician had no problem with the request but her manager, Kwasi Ernest went mad after he heard the plea. The boss of Media Excel Production could not fathom why host of the show would stop interviewing his artiste and promote a Nigerian musician.
Angry Kwasi Ernest argued that host of the show should finish his chat with Abena Ruthy before focusing on the Nigerian because two artistes cannot be promoted intermittently but his petition was not honoured. According to the furious manager, no Nigerian presenter would halt an interview with his fellow countryman to interview a Ghanaian.
Producers of the show did all their best to cool him down but Kwasi Ernest insisted their action was wrong so he will not allow his artiste to continue the interview.
He later asked his artiste to walk out of the studio to allow Andy Favoured interview the Nigerian. Abena Ruthy who did not want to disobey his manager heeded to his order. They drove off the premises of the Class Media Group-owned radio station even before the show ended.

Can you get a better headline? Be diligent. And your grammar these days is just too terrible. Who's your editor? "Abena Ruthy who did not want to disobey his manager heed to his order." Seriously??????? Tweaaa!!
The headline does not suit the situation. But on a more serious note, can I ask why Ghanaians seem to have taste for foreign stuff than our own local stuff??
Even two Africans look at what is going on, what about if it's Europe or elsewhere, one word that will pop out is racist so let's see ourselves as one and nothing else.
It was a step in right direction......first come first serve
***barred word*** why should a Nigerian even be allowed to do be heard before our own? I would had slapped the DJ at his face ***barred word*** and foolishness. Can a Ghanaian do this in Lagos? To hell with these greedy Nigerians.
why didnt anyone see anything wrong with the nigerian doing a happy birthday song for her. its high time this thing about my country my country stop. for me whether a nigerian or ghanaian who does that its not right.
Well done manager for walking out the studio with your artist from that high level of unprofessional and disrespectful behaviour...others should learn from it.
GOOD MOVE.NONESENSEE
Nigerians will NEVER EVER do this to their own...What at all is wrong with some Ghanaians????? Or is it payola l smell??
