The host of the late afternoon show on Starr FM, Kofi Okyere Darko, has revealed that he has suffered pressure from his wife to quit his job at Starr FM.
Speaking to Andy Dosty on Hitz FM’s ‘Daybreak Hitz’ on Thursday, KOD said during the times when the company went bankrupt and could not pay its workers, his wife suggested that he should leave for another job.
According to him, his wife felt he was not being straightforward with her – so he had to let Bola Ray speak to her.
“There are other people who had stress from family. I did at some point. My wife was worried. In actual fact at a point, Bola had to call her personally because we’re family that Charlie we were going through a low tide and it’s not permanent we’ll overcome this. Bola had to call my wife,” he said.
“I had some pressures from my wife Charlie. Some people are leaving, why are you still there? I’m like no I can’t do this. I can’t do this I believe in loyalty. I’d done 18 years at Radio Gold. Do you know what it was like at Radio Gold? Radio Gold is very political so when NDC is in power, they’re in a good place. When they’re in opposition they’re in a bad place. So in and out and I stayed for 18 years. I know how to deal with these things,” he added.
He went ahead to narrate situations where friends sat to discuss Bola in his absence and how he has had to commend Bola for letting the public know what the company went through.
“And I don’t focus on getting resources from one place. You have Nineteen 57, you have some gigs, you’re hosting some events. There are times that maybe you won’t be paid well but you still go for it because it might pay for electricity, you can sort out one of your nephews who’s coming to you for school fees because I’m Ashanti. That’s what we do,” he added.
KOD is holding his fashion show, Rhythms on Da Runway on Saturday, August 31, 2019, at the Christainsborg Castle.
