A heated exchange erupted on United Showbiz on September 26, 2026, between Prophet Kumchacha and pundit MC Yaa Yeboah. The discussion centred on comments made by Presidential Staffer for the Black Star Experience, Rex Omar, who suggested that the government was focusing on more urgent national priorities over concerts. MC Yaa Yeboah argued that Omar was unfit for his role and should be dismissed from office immediately.
The situation escalated when Kumchacha attempted to cut in while Yaa Yeboah was making her case. Rather than yield the floor, she shut him down bluntly, telling him that he knows nothing about the creative arts. The rebuke did not sit well with the preacher, who fired back with a warning, reminding Yaa Yeboah of his long history on entertainment panels.
Kumchacha has been a part of entertainment panels since the days of Nana Ama McBrown, MzGee, and Empress Gifty as hosts of United Showbiz. He reminded Yaa Yeboah that he had been doing pundit work before she even started going on television. Kumchacha also mentioned that Yaa Yeboah was once a secretary before she started her TV career.
The confrontation turned intense as Kumchacha issued a direct warning to Yaa Yeboah, stating that he would deal with her if she shouted at him again. He expressed his displeasure at being silenced on live TV and cautioned her to watch how she speaks to him next time.
The root of the disagreement remains Rex Omar's remarks framing the government's position on entertainment funding. MC Yaa Yeboah felt that the statement reflected poorly on the presidential staffer's understanding of the creative arts sector, and her call for his sacking set the tone for the combative exchange that followed.
The incident has sparked a lively debate among Ghanaians, with many taking to social media to express their opinions on the matter. While some have condemned Kumchacha's outburst, others have defended his right to express himself. The incident has also raised questions about the level of respect and decorum expected on live TV.
