Ghanaian rapper Medikal has opened up about the inspiration behind the unique names he gives his children, stating that every choice is intentional and rooted in deep meaning.

Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Joy Prime, the award-winning rapper explained that his newborn son’s name, Space, was chosen to encourage boundless imagination and an unlimited worldview.

“I want a child to grow into an infinite world, you know? That’s why I named the child Space,” he said.

Medikal dismissed suggestions that the unconventional names—first Island, now Space—were attempts to seek attention. According to him, names should inspire greatness and possibilities, not simply follow societal norms.

When Andy Dosty humorously suggested that the name Space could lead to amusing moments in future relationships, Medikal laughed but maintained that the choice was serious and symbolic.

On the subject of expanding his family, the rapper hinted that he is done having more children for now.

“I don’t think there will be a next right now. I just want to focus on Island and Space and my career,” he said.

He also emphasized his desire to be a hands-on father. “I always want to be there for my kids. I’m not that father who just sends money. I like to spend time with my kids.”

Ghanaian rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong, popularly known as Medikal, has pushed back against claims that he is rude, insisting that his personality is often misunderstood.

According to him, what many perceive as arrogance is actually deep passion and drive for his music career.

Speaking in an interview on Prime Time on Joy Prime, Medikal explained that his relentless dedication to his craft fuels both his work ethic and his success.

“People say I’m rude but I’m not. I’m passionate and driven with my career. It’s the passion that drives me to new levels in life,” he said.

The rapper noted that his hunger for progress keeps him constantly working, even when he is already on top of the charts.

“I might have the hottest song today and still wake up to go to the studio the next day. I’m hungry for what I do. That’s what gears and energizes me to keep pushing forward,” he added.

Medikal emphasized that repetition and consistency remain critical ingredients in his journey, attributing his rise in the music industry to his natural ability and unwavering commitment.

“My journey has been built on talent. It’s my talent that has taken me far. Talent is the prime source of my success,” he stated.

Beyond entertainment, Medikal said his music helps listeners cope with real-life challenges.

“I rap to entertain and help people get over their problems and depressions,” he noted.

Responding to critics who label him as rude or boastful, the “Omo Ada” hitmaker suggested that negativity often masks admiration.

“Love is derived from hate. My haters love me,” he said confidently.

Medikal also spoke about his relationship with singer Sister Derby, describing their current rapport as positive and supportive.

He said she has been kind to him throughout his career and that they continue to maintain mutual respect.

The award-winning rapper concluded the interview by outlining the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

“I want people to remember me for my realness. I’m a real guy,” he stated, reaffirming his commitment to authenticity in both his life and music.
