The AMG rapper indicated that he does not get offended when an artiste is not ready to work with him.
“Sometimes, as artists, we may not feel like recording. Some artists may not understand this, but I do. If the artist I send my song to is not in the mood, I don’t take it personally,” he said.
Medikal also opened up about what happened when collaborated with Joey B some time ago.
“He sent me the song and I did my verse. He sent it back to me and said he didn’t like it. If I was someone who gets angry easily, I would have been upset. But I did the verse again and it was better than the first one. So sometimes we go through these things,” he revealed.

Ghanaian rapper, Medikal, has openly expressed his sentiments about being underrated within the Ghanaian music industry.
He believes that his unique style and dedicated efforts have not received the attention and recognition they rightfully deserve.
During an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM, Medikal shared these feelings and emphasized how he has been able to distinguish his identity from his artist persona while reflecting on some of his significant achievements.
At one point, he shared, “Sometimes, I feel like I’m underrated. I know how to dissociate myself from the brand Medikal. Some people carry their persona with the brand. I sit down sometimes and watch my shows, and I’ll be like, ‘This guy is dope.’ That’s why I have been able to remain relevant for a long time. It’s not easy.”
Medikal further highlighted that he believes he deserves more recognition and appreciation from the Ghanaian audience. He clarified that he’s not ungrateful but that he believes he deserves acknowledgment for his persistent hard work.
“I feel underrated; they should give me my flowers. I’m not trying to sound ungrateful; I just feel like there should be more light thrown at me. I am a very hardworking guy, so Ghanaians shouldn’t sleep on me. More attention should be given to me,” he stated.
When asked about whether his distinctive style might contribute to the lack of attention, Medikal defended his approach, saying, “I’m doing everything right. Just that my style is different; people find it hard to accept it.”
Medikal has won the hearts of many Ghanaians through his hiphop music and is the fastest rising artist in Ghana at the moment.
Nigerian actress Regina Daniels has expressed her willingness to donate a kidney to her husband, Ned Nwoko, who is also the father of her children, rather than her own biological father.
This candid statement came during a conversation on a movie set when she was confronted with a challenging question about organ donation.
Regina Daniels explained that if her father and the father of her children were both in a hospital with kidney complications, she would prioritize saving Senator Ned Nwoko for the sake of her sons. Her response highlighted her deep concern for her children’s happiness and well-being.
Regina Daniels stated that preserving the health and life of her children’s father is a top concern for her as a mother.
She indicated her desire to donate her kidney to her husband, emphasising the importance of her children having both parents in their lives.
“As a mother, I will donate my kidney to my children’s father not because he is my husband but because I don’t want my children to grow up without a father,” she said.
Ghana’s renowned gospel musician and devoted minister of God, who is the founder of the Rockhill Church in Atlanta, Georgia, Sonnie Badu, has once again captured the attention of social media users in Ghana with a rare video of his opulent mansion in Accra.
The award-winning artist, known for his soul-stirring gospel songs and spiritual leadership, has been making waves in the online space due to an intriguing video that recently surfaced.
Accompanied by an aura of anticipation and gratitude, gospel artiste and esteemed talent manager, Teddy O.T. made a grand arrival in Ghana ahead of his much-awaited album recording concert.
Touching down at Kotoka International Airport on Saturday, November 4, 2024, the musician exuded immense gratitude to God for a safe and successful journey.
“I work with a lot of songwriters. Sometimes there’s somebody in the room when we are doing the song who will probably say, “let’s put this there”. That person is still recognized when we are doing the split sheets.
“If anybody contributes to a song, they should be given props. And then when it’s royalties, they also get some money or whatever it is because they put in work,” she said.
“People need to be educated that it’s normal. Songwriting doesn’t mean if you don’t write your songs, you’re not an artiste. We all have different gifts.
“Someone’s own is to play the beats. Someone’s own is to sing. Someone’s own is to write. Some people can write and sing, great, but it doesn’t make one person better than the other. We all have our unique gifts that God gave us,” Adina added.
Songwriting issues became topical in Ghana after Kuami Eugene complained about Mr Drew not doing the needful after writing a song for him.

Ghana’s celebrated musician, Sarkodie, has taken to Twitter, now known as X, to reveal the staggering cost of creating his tour announcement video for his Jamz album which was released on November 11, 2022.
In a tweet, the multiple award-winning artist disclosed that he shelled out approximately Ghc100,000 for the production of his tour announcement video.
The 2023 Tidal Rave, held at La Palm Royal Beach on November 4th, was intended to be a night of celebration and entertainment, but it turned into a chaotic scene on stage, where Stonebwoy’s performance was allegedly marred by a confrontation between his manager, Chief Stylz, and DJ Mensah, Sarkodie’s official DJ.
The clash from things gathered online stemmed from an incident that left both parties with differing accounts of what transpired.
Chief Stylz, Stonebwoy’s manager in an interview on Hitx FM’s Daybreak Hitz Show provided his version of a detailed account of the events leading up to the incident.
According to Chief Stylz, Stonebwoy’s team had arrived at the venue hours before their scheduled performance time, only to be informed of a change in the running order, causing them to perform later than anticipated.
Despite this setback, they agreed to comply with the new schedule.
He added that during Stonebwoy’s performance, the event organizers approached him and requested that they reduce the performance time due to time constraints.
Chief Stylz mentioned that he was faced with the challenge of communicating this change to Stonebwoy, who was already on stage.
“We were performing, and people kept coming back and forth,” he explained. “It’s a lapse on their part because we’ve traveled around the world with Stone, playing at many events, working with different productions. Everybody is earmarked to be at a certain place at a certain time. If you’re not supposed to be on stage, clearly, you’re not supposed to be there. But this is Ghana,” he stated.
Chief Stylz went on to add that as he was trying to navigate this situation, DJ Mensah appeared on stage to set up, and his comments added fuel to the fire.
Chief Stylz claimed that DJ Mensah made unfavorable comments and insinuations while they were performing, which he found disrespectful and insulting. He confronted DJ Mensah, leading to a confrontation between them.
“I wasn’t happy with what he was saying, so I confronted him. Actually, that’s what prompted the security to move to the stage. It was purely between me and Mensah, and eventually, the microphone went off,” Chief Stylz explained.
DJ Mensah, on the other hand, had a different perspective on the incident. He clarified that he had been called to set up because Sarkodie was scheduled to perform right after Stonebwoy. DJ Mensah explained that he approached Chief Stylz to inform him about the time Stonebwoy had spent on stage. However, he claimed that his comments were made in jest and were not intended to provoke any reaction.
“What I remember is that he [Chief Stylz] had his one hand on my neck and made a fist with the other hand,” DJ Mensah recounted. “Whether he was going to punch me, I don’t know. All I was waiting for was for him to throw that punch because I still had my laptop in my hand… That was when the organizers came back there and were holding him.”
Chief Stylz and DJ Mensah were at odds regarding the specific words and comments made during their confrontation. Chief Stylz refused to reveal the exact words used by DJ Mensah, while DJ Mensah maintained that he had not used any derogatory language.
It should be noted that despite the best efforts of the host of the show, Andy Dosty’s efforts to mediate, Chief Stylz and DJ Mensah refused to offer apologies to each other for their actions.
