Ghanaian singer and model Sister Derby recently discussed her former relationship with rapper Medikal, sharing insights into the factors that contributed to their split and how she managed the aftermath.
In a revealing interview with Arnold Mensah Elavanyo on Vibe in 5, she openly addressed the influence of actress Fella Makafui on the deterioration of their relationship, detailing the emotional impact of Fella’s behaviour on her.
Sister Derby expressed that she felt a sense of disrespect from Fella Makafui during her time with Medikal.
“She was mocking me,” Sister Derby recalled, explaining how Fella would frequently post insinuating comments on social media while engaging in an affair with Medikal.
Despite the pain, Derby admitted that she chose not to retaliate or publicly confront Fella.
“I didn’t really care about their relationship, but for him, I wished him well. And of course, it was painful because they were rubbing it in my face.
“Even those times, I never said anything to her or dissed her. I accepted it,” she said.
When it came to confronting Medikal about the rumours surrounding his involvement with Fella, Derby said he continually denied any wrongdoing.
However, as the lies became harder to ignore, the relationship eventually crumbled. Fella Makafui’s presence, once a hidden affair, became public, and she openly pursued Medikal after the breakup.
Years later, following Medikal’s marriage to Fella, he reached out to Sister Derby, asking her to perform at one of his concerts.
Initially, Derby refused, citing her discomfort about being around Fella Makafui, especially given their shared history.
“I didn’t want to be in the same space as her,” she confessed.
Nevertheless, Medikal assured her that Fella would not be involved, as they were said to be in the midst of divorce proceedings during that period.
Looking back, Sister Derby contemplated Medikal’s personality, recognising one specific quality in him that she respected.
“He was incredibly generous,” she said, noting that his generosity was something she appreciated about him even after their relationship ended.
