Nigerian singer and songwriter, Omawumi Megbele, caused a stir earlier in the week when she walked out on a live interview on HFtv Africa after the interviewer, Zinnia, asked about her smoking and drinking habit.
She is, however, not the first to express her displeasure in that manner.
Here are a number of other celebrities who have walked out on live interviews.
- Paris Hilton
This 38-year old actress, singer and model did not find it funny when ABC news anchor, Dan Harris, asked if she was worried about her declining fame with the emergence of new socialites, including Kim Kardashian.
Rather than answer, the hotel heiress looked in the direction of her publicist, stood up and quietly left the frame.
- Selena Gomez
American singer, Selena Gomez cut short her satellite interview with Chicago’s WGN Entertainment host, Dean Richards, after she was asked about her affair with Justin Bieber.
The ‘Slow Down’ singer simply laughed, rolled her eyes and cut off the footage replacing it with a black screen urging fans to buy tickets for her upcoming tour.

- Naomi Campbell
In an interview for Nightline, ABC News pressed Naomi Campbell on allegations that she was given “blood diamond” by former Liberian President, Charles Taylor. In return, the supermodel gave the reporters a taste of her famous temper, and refused to answer the questions. She walked out on the interview and punched the camera of a producer who attempted to follow her.

- R. Kelly
R.Kelly had repeatedly been accused of sexually abusing minors. When questioned by Caroline Tehrani, host of HuffPost Live, if the reason for the slow sale of his album, The Buffet, could be linked to the allegations, the singer got irritated and walked off the set.
- AKA
Award-winning South African rap act, AKA, was in no mood to entertain questions about his affair with media personality, Bonang Matheba. During an interview with News24 Live, AKA walked out when he was asked about Bonang Matheba. AKA spoke to his manager before leaving the interview set.
