Television host and media personality Morayo Brown caused a stir on social media on Friday, July 3, 2026, after she opened up about a phone call she received from an individual who rained curses on her over questions she asked guests during interviews.

The media personality who appeared to be saddened by the attack revealed the caller used several “unprintable words” and cursed her repeatedly for the questions she asked during her interviews.
Brown, who stated that she was unfamiliar with such behaviour because she did not grow up around people who used curses, revealed that she had learned over the years to ignore negative comments on social media.
Expressing disappointment over the incident, the media personality maintained that asking questions was her job.
Defending her approach, Brown noted her decades-long experience in the media, insisting she had earned the right to ask difficult questions.
“I’ve been in the media for 21 years. I’ve been on television for 12 years, every single day, Monday to Friday, hosting a TV show. There are only a handful of Nigerians who have that experience.
She also explained that she always respected the boundaries of her guests, noting that some preferred to receive questions beforehand while others simply highlighted topics they did not want discussed.

Her comments come amid recent conversations over interviews with prominent figures like veteran actress Ireti Doyle, who declined to speak about her divorce from actor Patrick Doyle during an appearance on The Morayo Show, stating that it was “none of your business.”
In related news, Legit.ng reported that Morayo Brown questioned Toyin Abraham about her reported rift with Funke Akindele.

Many don't fully understand the role of the media - Journalist
According to Kehinde Ajose, who has over a decade of experience in journalism, many Nigerians still do not fully understand the role of the media.
"Too often, conversations around interviews are driven by emotion rather than logic and an appreciation of journalistic responsibility. Nigerians often wear their emotions on their sleeves, and this sometimes clouds objective discussions about journalism," he said.
Speaking from experience as the host of Conversations with Kenni, Ajose stated that he does not believe his job is only to ask questions that guests are comfortable with.
"My responsibility is to make my guests feel comfortable enough to speak openly, not to make the questions comfortable. There is a clear distinction between the two," he said.
The purpose of an interview determines the nature of the questions. The questions I would ask an artiste promoting a new album will naturally differ from those I would ask an artiste who is at the centre of a public controversy. One is primarily promotional; the other is about accountability, clarification, and giving the audience a better understanding of the issues. It may sound confrontational, but that does not make it unfair, he added.
