Gospel artiste Empress Gifty has disclosed that she was offered the role of host for United Showbiz on United Television (UTV) following the departure of actress Nana Ama McBrown.

Empress Gifty shared that the Managing Director of Despite Media, Fadda Dickson, and General Manager, Kennedy Osei, extended the offer. However, she declined due to frequent travels to the United States, where she was involved in business ventures.

“When McBrown left, I was approached to host United Showbiz, but because of my consistent travels, I declined the offer, and management understood me,” she explained, adding, “I barely stayed in the country then. I believe when the time is right, God will make it work.”

Empress Gifty further revealed that she is now a full-time employee of Despite Media, receiving a monthly salary, and currently hosts the U-Cook show, aired on Sundays on UTV.

Interestingly, she has recently taken on the role of interim host for United Showbiz in MzGee’s absence—a move that has sparked mixed reactions on social media.
