MC Portfolio bans Killer Ntua from Angel FM Kumasi over no-show controversy.

Popular Ghanaian media personality MC Portfolio has reportedly imposed a ban on controversial social commentator Killer Ntua, popularly known as Asafo Powers, from appearing on programs at Angel FM in Kumasi.

According to reports circulating within the entertainment and media space, the decision was taken after Killer Ntua allegedly failed to honor invitations to appear on MC Portfolio’s show on two consecutive occasions. The repeated absence is said to have caused disappointment among the production team and listeners who were expecting his appearance on the program.

Sources close to the matter indicate that Killer Ntua had initially agreed to appear on the show to discuss trending issues and matters relating to entertainment and social commentary. However, despite the arrangements made for the interview, he reportedly failed to show up without giving a satisfactory explanation.

The situation became more intense after the second consecutive no-show, which reportedly angered MC Portfolio and members of his production team. Industry observers say the presenter viewed the repeated absence as disrespectful not only to him but also to the station and its audience.

Speaking on the issue during his program, MC Portfolio allegedly expressed frustration over what he described as unprofessional conduct from Killer Ntua. He stressed the importance of respecting media platforms and honoring commitments once agreements are made between guests and producers.

According to people familiar with the incident, the ban means Killer Ntua may no longer be welcomed on programs hosted by MC Portfolio at Angel FM Kumasi until further notice. The decision has since sparked conversations across social media platforms.

Some fans and followers of MC Portfolio have defended his decision, arguing that media personalities and radio stations invest time, money, and effort into organizing interviews and therefore deserve respect from invited guests.

Some have called for both personalities to settle their differences amicably and maintain professionalism within the entertainment industry.
