MC Portfolio fires back at Long Jon over GJA awards criticism

MC Portfolio and Long Jon

MC Portfolio has issued a sharp response to entertainment pundit Long Jon, a panelist on the Sammy Flex TV show, after being criticised over his comments about this year’s Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) Awards.

In a viral video, Long Jon accused MC Portfolio of being self-serving in his criticism of the GJA Awards, suggesting that his remarks were driven by personal interest rather than genuine concern for the industry. His comments followed ongoing debate over alleged bias in the awards and the choice of Serwaa Amihere as host instead of someone from the Ashanti Region.

MC Portfolio, however, fired back in a lengthy social media post, dismissing Long Jon’s claims and questioning his credibility in the media space.

He wrote:
“Well, I have always avoided trying to engage this PORTFOLIO wannabe Long Jon because he needs to learn more in the space to be able to attract my energy. However, let me give him some mileage and add on to what Sammy Flex is trying to give him!

Yo, don’t sit there and disrespect my brand that way! Don’t be silly! Where and how have I ever said I was better than Serwaa Amihere? And what makes you think you can determine how I position myself in this industry?

Even you give yourself ratings in this space! If not Samuel Atuobi Baah, who would recognize you beyond shouting your neck veins out to be heard so badly?

Put some respect on my name next time or keep my name out of your beak, my guy! I’m not about these games of name-spoiling! Jon, as you are called, don’t see me like a fool because I don’t do gidigidi.”

MC Portfolio insisted that he never claimed to be superior to Serwaa Amihere and warned Long Jon to refrain from dragging his name into unnecessary discussions.
