Ohene Kwame Frimpong, the mastermind behind Medikal’s sold-out concert at the Indigo at the O2, recently shared insights into the level of support he received from the artists who took the stage.
Speaking with Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z, OK Frimpong, who is running as an independent candidate for the Asante Akyem North Constituency, revealed that nearly all the performers covered their own expenses for the event.
“All the acts that came to support Medikal—it’s just about two of them that we had to pay for some things, hotel and a few things.
Nearly all the artists involved in the event managed their own financial arrangements, with one notable exception: Shatta Wale. “We didn’t provide any financial support for him; I can only mention him in that context,” he stated, clarifying that he did not even cover their performance fees.
The concert took place in London on May 3, 2024, featuring a lineup that included popular acts such as Sarkodie, Sister Derby, Jah Bahd, and Efya, alongside Shatta Wale.
Reflecting on his experiences, OK Frimpong recalled his first UK event in 2018, which featured Amakye Dede and Kuami Eugene but ultimately fell short of expectations due to his lack of familiarity with the event space.
However, he learned from that experience and enjoyed success with later projects, including Medikal’s concert in London.
Ohene Frimpong is not only an entrepreneur and philanthropist but also a visionary leader with a keen interest in media and the arts. He is running as an independent candidate for the Asante Akyem North constituency in the upcoming 2024 elections.
