Hammer Nti's Outburst: A disrespectful misstep amid Okomfo Kwadee controversy

On UTV’s United Showbiz, hosted by Empress Gifty, the mother of hiplife artist Okomfo Kwadee refuted claims that she was responsible for her son’s condition, blaming negative influences instead.

She also accused media personality Hammer Nti of spreading misinformation.

Rather than addressing the issue with sensitivity, Hammer Nti responded defensively, claiming he had cared for Kwadee better than his own family.

His reaction was widely criticized as disrespectful, especially toward Kwadee’s elderly mother.

Many believe a more measured response—or silence—would have been appropriate.

The incident highlights the need for empathy in public discourse, especially when discussing personal matters.

It also serves as a reminder that media figures must balance their roles with sensitivity and respect for the individuals involved.
