Deloris Frimpong Manso, better known by her stage name Delay has said in a recent interview that she single-handedly fought to be a celebrity and get to this stage of her illustrious career.
She claimed that she struggled for the fame she is currently experiencing and sang proudly that no one could deprive her of her status. We can’t tell if her statement is directly proportional to what Afia Schwar said on Sunday in an Instagram post.
“There are people who come and Ghanaians decide to show them all the love and fully support the person. In my case, I didn’t have that kind of love and support. Nobody handed fame over to me. I have become Delay because I’m talented and hardworking.
“From the beginning, I thought people hated me but I’ve come to understand that it was a phase I needed to go through to strengthen me. I fought and I went for it so no one can take it away from me,” Delay said.

Known for winning new fans with her persuasive skills, claimed that her fighting spirit has always driven her to where she is today.
“I’m a dragon, I’m a fighter. If I take a look at where I started from the industry, like when I came, people said I didn’t have the looks, I wasn’t beautiful. I keep saying that it was poverty that made me look miserable.

“Poverty is not a good thing. Poverty is a killer disease and it is the truth because back then, I was broke, I didn’t have the money to even buy good creams for my skin and clothes to wear so people saw me unattractive.
“They didn’t think I fitted into their standard for beauty. I wasn’t skinny, tall, fair. I didn’t have the looks that people deemed as the standard looks so I struggled in the industry,” she concluded.
