Some celebrities have taken to social media to react to the way a presenter called out KiDi for being late to an interview.
According to the presenter, the ‘Say Cheese‘ hitmaker arrived 25 minutes after 11 am – the scheduled time for the interview.
Although KiDi apologised to the host and listeners, Nana Romeo said time was far spent, and hence would not do the The host’s actions has generated a discussion among Ghanaians with some holding an opinion that KiDi could have been reprimanded off-air. Others were however of the view that the action by the presenter was necessary and in the right direction.
But it seems it’s not only music lovers and fans of KiDi who are bothered about the incident which has been trending on Twitter.
For movie producer Peter Sedufia, while the incident may be an unfortunate one it is also an opportunity for both guests and hosts to treat each other with respect. According to him, radio stations have also faulted when it comes to starting interviews or shows.
He stated instances where up and coming artistes have arrived on time for various interviews only for it to be canceled.
“We’re all in this together to create a thriving industry. Let’s respect appointment times and treat each other with maximum respect.” But for Comedian Clemento Suarez, it is unfortunate that after the artiste apologised to the host, he was still walked out of the studio without the interview being granted. That was very disappointing and I don’t think even your fellow presenters are happy about what you did.
“Sometimes some of us get impromptu calls for shows and we try our best to meet the appointment. We don’t come on air to complain.”
“Your guest is late and its left with 35mins, 35 minutes paaaaaa and you can’t interview KiDi, KiDi oo please, please. Na performance for shows koraaa will KiDi perform for 35mins?? We deserve an apology. That was not fair at all.” For musician, EL, regardless of the history between KiDi and the host, a more private approach should have been taken to address the issue. Rapper Cj Biggerman admits KiDi is at fault but just like EL he holds the opinion that confrontation by the host could have been done off-air. He also praised KiDi for not reacting when the host was speaking. YouTuber Malik Ofori wrote, “so the presenter no know say KiDi be the girl them sugar, the kid almost cried! he’s a bully.” Adding her opinion, actress Lydia Forson insists the issue of time is not only related to artistes but to shows as well.
According to her, while she does not support tardiness, the presenter did not handle the issue professionally.
