Medikal calls himself rich
The brouhaha about Medikal on X, formerly Twitter, started after he posted a screenshot of his chat with American YouTuber Kai Cenat. Kai shared a video with Medikal where he said he would want to be shown the same love when he comes to Ghana.
Medikal shared the screenshot on his page, using the caption:
"F*kn goat coming to GH. Naa I'm gassed fr!
After referring to Kai Cenat as a "goat," Medikal's fans and other X users were unhappy because they believed the title didn't fit the young YouTube star. A series of comments were made under the tweet. Some chided him for even sharing the screenshot of their chat.
One user tweeted that Medikal could work as a house help for Nigerian singer Rema. Reacting to this, Medikal said:
The only Nigerian artist wey hold pass me na Davido I swear
This reply further sparked more controversy on his page. Many believed Medikal did not have enough money to call himself richer than the world's biggest Nigerian stars, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, and others.
