Wanlov took Ghanians by surprise when he exposed his bushy manhood on TV3 after he was challenged to prove rumor that he walks around without panties.

As a guest on the “Delay show” hosted Deloris Frimpong Manso, he was questioned whether he lies during interviews and Wanlov answered no! Delay insisted that Wanlov lied in his previous interview on the same programme, where he had stated that he does not wear panties even to public places.

Delay asked him if he was putting on panties at that moment and the “Konkonsa” rapper answered no but Delay still doubted his answer and asked him to show her and viewers if indeed he is not putting on panties. Wanlov ignored Delay's belated pleas and lifted his cloth to expose his hairy genitals to an obviously stunned Delay.

Right after that, Wanlov asked Delay if she was satisfied that he doesn't wear anything apart from the rag usually tied to his waist. A dumbfounded Delay mumbled an answer.

Asked why he does not wear panties, Wanlov said he does not like it adding, this is “free access, fresh air ...”
