Controversial US-based Ghanaian journalist, Kevin Taylor, has issued a stern warning to social commentators including Twene Jonas and Young Don.
In a video, the Loud Silence Media founder expressed his anger towards individuals who involved his name in unnecessary conversations.
“I am not interested in engaging in public banter with Ghanaian social media personalities and bloggers who are based in the US like myself. I’ll ensure such individuals will be deported from the US and return to Ghana.”

The journalist explained that he had no issues with US-based Ghanaians bantering each other as part of their content creation activities and did not want to cost them their source of massive revenue.
Kevin Taylor noted that he had time to travel via flights across the various states in the USA to take legal action against Ghanaians who attempt to disrespect and tarnish his image.
The controversial journalist warned that he would personally purchase flight tickets for some Ghanaians to be deported from the US and returned to Ghana. “I’m advising them against involving my name in their contents to avoid any severe punishment they might face later,” he added.
The journalist’s remarks come after social commentators Twene Jonas and Young Don reportedly dropped his name in their ongoing social media feud.
The two outspoken social media personalities have traded words against each other on social media after Young Don returned to social media after a long hiatus and addressed rumors about him being deported to Ghana.
The young social commentator insulted Twene Jonas as he responded to some comments the latter made about him amid mass deportations under President Donald Trump in the US.
In a separate video, Twene Jonas responded to his compatriot Young Don’s insults and alleged that Young Don’s US passport was not genuine.
According to him, Young Don couldn’t secure a passport a few months after relocating to the US as it took a lot of time to get it processed.
His allegations evoked another response from Young Don, who flaunted the passport amid police vehicles on the street to prove its authenticity.
He also alleged that Twene Jonas only relocated to the US after following young disc jockey and former Talented Kidz contestant DJ Switch to the country.
Moreover, Ghanaian social media personality, Young Don, responded to US-based journalist Kevin Taylor after a threat to get him deported.
Young Don dismissed Taylor’s warning, stating that he was not important enough to deserve his attention. He insulted the journalist, calling him a ‘small boy’, and denied ever mentioning him on his platform.
Kevin Taylor Teases Kennedy Agyapong
The US-based Ghanaian journalist teased Kennedy Agyapong after the former Assin Central MP lost a defamation lawsuit to investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas in a US court.
Kevin Taylor, in a video shared on social media, recalled how Kennedy once sued him for defamation, demanding $9.5 million in damages.
He pointed out that Agyapong has now been ordered to pay Anas $18 million, almost double the amount he had sought from him.
In 2022, Kennedy sued Kevin Taylor for defamation in a US court, but the case was dismissed. Anas’ lawsuit against Kennedy was filed in the Essex County Superior Court in New Jersey, accusing him of making defamatory statements. The court ruled in Anas’ favor and awarded him $18 million in damages.
The case was based on remarks Kennedy made in 2021 during an interview, where he accused Anas of serious crimes. Anas argued that the allegations damaged his reputation and put his life at risk. The court agreed and ruled against Kennedy Agyapong.
Following the verdict, Kennedy applied for a remittitur, a request to reduce the damages awarded, but the court denied it. The ruling means Ken is legally required to pay the full amount unless he appeals.
Kevin Taylor, who has clashed with Agyapong in the past, did not miss the chance to laugh at him. He reminded his audience about how his case with the politician turned out.
