Rapper Medikal revealed that a video of D-Black lighting a cigar for his estranged wife prompted him to publicly announce their separation.
During Medikal’s performance at the O2 Indigo, D-Black extended good wishes to him, but Medikal responded with insults.
This was due to the Black Avenue CEO lighting a cigar for Medikal’s wife in a club.
In an interview with Accra-based Starr FM, Medikal explained that the video of his partner smoking a cigar compelled him to address their breakup publicly to quell speculation.
“I don’t typically exaggerate things. I value respect deeply. My senior colleague present here understands the principles we abide by. There are certain boundaries we uphold. Witnessing my colleague’s spouse in public, partaking in such activities, didn’t sit well with me,” Medikal expressed.
He concluded, “At that moment, I knew it was over between us. Seeing that video was the tipping point for me to make our separation public. I couldn’t bear the thought of someone assuming that my spouse would engage in such behavior.”
Medikal further elaborated that while he understood D-Black’s perspective, he felt uncomfortable with the situation. Despite wishing to handle the matter privately, he felt compelled to speak out due to the video’s implications.
Background
Critics have since slammed D-Black for socializing with Fella Makafui and sharing a smoke with her at a club during her highly publicized breakup with Medikal. The controversy stemmed from a viral video showing D-Black lighting a cigar for Fella Makafui shortly after news of her split with Medikal broke.
D-Black’s explanation
Earlier, during a question-and-answer session, D-Black clarified that the event he and Fella Makafui attended was a “cigar party” hosted at one of his clubs. He emphasized that he had minimal contact with Fella Makafui for nearly two years before the event and dismissed claims of impropriety. Regarding the specific incident of lighting Fella’s cigar, D-Black stated that he merely assisted her in lighting the cigar she had purchased herself, refuting any insinuations of misconduct.
