Tensions have risen following a live television broadcast where gospel singer and TV host Empress Gifty has come under fire for her perceived inaction during a controversial moment on air.
During a recent episode of United Showbiz on UTV, panelist Bullgod made a comment referring to Jesus in a derogatory manner. The remark, which quickly drew public backlash on social media, shocked many viewers and religious communities.
Comedian OB Amponsah has since joined the chorus of criticism, focusing his attention not only on Bullgod but also on Empress Gifty, who was hosting the show. He questioned why she remained silent throughout the segment and failed to confront or correct the statement, especially given her status as a gospel musician.
OB Amponsah expressed disappointment over what he viewed as a missed opportunity to take a stand. He suggested that Empress Gifty, as both a representative of Christian values and a public figure, had a responsibility to speak out but instead continued hosting the show without addressing the matter.
His reaction, which was shared in a Facebook post written in Twi, argued that silence in moments like this sends the wrong message, particularly when faith and belief systems are publicly disrespected. The incident has sparked wider debate over the role of entertainers in defending their values while on live platforms.
