Popular Ghanaian rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong, widely known as Medikal, has disclosed that the extravagant lifestyle he often displays on social media is primarily a persona and should not be taken at face value.
During a live Twitter spaces discussion with Cookie Tee, the “Too Risky” artist was asked about the wealth, cars, and houses he showcases on his social media accounts. Medikal clarified that these are props used to enhance his brand and should not be perceived as a true reflection of his financial status.
Drawing a comparison to Hollywood movies, he emphasized that he has never claimed ownership of items featured on social media that he does not actually possess. He also noted that his fans are well aware of this aspect of his online presence.
“It’s all props, it’s like the Rambo movie, you see him with guns, shooting and killing, but in real life, he’s in The Bahamas chilling, that’s how it is. So what you see on social media is an illusion. It’s just my brand. I don’t have anything. My fans know that whatever I don’t own, I won’t claim as my own. I’m not rich, I’m trying to survive, I’m a hustler just like everyone else,” he disclosed.
