Deloris Frimpong Manso, better known as Delay, is a TV personality and entrepreneur who has taken a strong stand against disparaging remarks made about King Paluta, a rising musical star.
This declaration comes in the wake of criticism Kwaku Osei Koranteng Asiedu, popularly known as KOKA, a Ghanaian entertainment critic and artist manager, received for his critical assessment of King Paluta’s vocal prowess.
However, Delay, using her WhatsApp channel, declared, “No King Paluta slander will be tolerated, and that’s on Periodt!”
KOKA did not hold back during a discussion on Asempa FM in Accra, labeling King Paluta’s singing voice “useless” and stating that major improvement was required.
“His voice is not that great; he needs a voice coach for his singing. His voice fluctuates in the song. The voice he uses to sing is useless. Singing requires a format. He has to sing in a key. He sings off-key all the time and there’s so much repetition,” KOKA remarked.
Despite his severe criticism, KOKA acknowledged King Paluta’s potential and talent. He praised the quality of his songs and production, indicating that with proper training, King Paluta could excel. “He has good songs, and the production quality is excellent. He himself is good. I think he is blessed with talent. He needs to look at artists like Castro, Kofi Kinaata, Amerado, and Sarkodie for inspiration and learning,” KOKA added.
KOKA advised King Paluta to seek the help of a voice coach to improve his craft. “All he needs is a voice coach to train him in his breathing and singing on key. And trust me, he will go far as an artist,” he stated.
Delay’s passionate defence of King Paluta underscores her support for the artist and highlights the ongoing debate over his vocal abilities in the Ghanaian music industry.
Earlier this year Delay stated that her interview with King Paluta was one of the best interviews she has done this year.
