Ghanaian rapper Medikal has sent a strong message to fans and critics alike: stop comparing him to other rappers. In a tweet posted on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, the “Welcome to Africa” hitmaker made it clear that he stands in a league of his own when it comes to rap music.

Medikal, born Samuel Adu Frimpong, emphasized that such comparisons diminish his hard-earned achievements in the music scene. He didn’t hold back, even calling out fellow Ghanaian rapper Kwesi Arthur, stating that no one—not even him—should be measured against his status.
“Never ever compare me to any artiste, not Kwesi Arthur or anyone. Don’t even dare, are you guys fukn mad?” he posted.
Fans and Critics React
The rapper’s comments have sparked mixed reactions across social media. While many fans hailed him for his confidence, others felt he might be reaching too far with his assertions.
One user commented:
“You’re not there yet bro. You have the potential, you just need a little branding and sauce.”
Another responded with humor:
“Nobody? No exceptions? Lol you are funny bro.”
But his loyal fans rallied behind him.
“True true ebi true oh cuz I always enjoy when listening to Medikal.”
“Topper top! Too stubborn.”
Promoting “Welcome to Africa”
While some believe Medikal’s tweet is rooted in genuine pride, others speculate it’s part of a promotion strategy for his newly released video, “Welcome to Africa.” The song and its visuals celebrate African culture, identity, and Medikal’s journey through the rap game.
A History of Hits with Kwesi Arthur
Interestingly, despite the recent name-drop, Medikal and Kwesi Arthur have previously collaborated on several successful tracks, including “Grind Day Remix,” “Different,” and more. Their chemistry on records has often been praised by fans, making this new stance from Medikal even more surprising.
