Delay’s response sparks reactions
Many social media users supported Delay’s reaction and said the comment was unnecessary. Some argued that public figures may be open to criticism, but comments about childbirth and personal family matters cross a line.
Others also said the issue should serve as a reminder that social media users must be careful about what they write online. For them, freedom of speech does not mean people can make personal remarks about others without consequences.
The incident also sparked a wider conversation about how women in the public eye are often judged over marriage, childbirth and family life.
Some users noted that such pressure is unfair, especially because these are deeply personal areas of life.
Check out some comments below:
Alex Freeman commented:
"I wonder how any man, born of a woman, would come out and make such an utterance. Family planning failed us on this occasion."
iknow_dem commented:
"What’s going to be the charge? He is not God, and I know that at the right time God will answer all your prayers. Just ignore him. I also want to remind you that you cannot arrest someone simply for calling you barren. Some people just do not want children at all."
Nana Kofi Waddle commented:
"Set example er please, every day like this saa and nothing happens, and they keep doing it…… as stone get one nu you see they don’t take this foolish on him anymore, arrest them, let them feel the heat."
Cape Mfantse commented:
"While I disagree with him for his stupid post, his action can't be labelled as a criminal offence.... Hence, the police can't arrest him..... Unless the police aren't honest."
RichLabs commented:
"I don't know why some of you think this woman is barren and if she's, why won't some of you scumbags let this woman be."
