  • Love is not enough to go into marriage – Medikal advises

    Love is not enough to go into marriage – Medikal advises

    Rapper Medikal, whose real name is Samuel Adu Frimpong from Ghana, has counselled young people not to base their marriage choices only on feelings of love.

    He talked about his personal experience, reflecting on how, despite his best efforts to keep it together, his marriage to actress Fella Makafui ended.

    Now that they are co-parenting, the couple’s main priority is making sure their daughter is happy.

    Marriage is a complicated commitment that calls for more than just love, as Medikal stressed in an interview with Starr FM.

    He stated, “Before you get married, I don’t think love is enough. Love is not enough for two people to get into marriage. Marriage is a whole different ball game. If you love somebody, it doesn’t mean you should get married to them.”

    He cautioned against relying solely on love and suggested that couples seek family support and counselling before making such a big decision.

    Medikal draws from his own experience to provide personal insights that emphasise the significance of marriage preparation and a thorough knowledge that goes beyond romantic sentiments.

    A stir was created on social media when Ghanaian rapper Medikal revealed a number of startling details about his ex-wife, actress and businesswoman Fella Makafui.

    The rapper publicly announced that he had split from his wife, which put Medikal and Fella’s marriage in the spotlight for a while.

    Following an incident where he claimed her baby mama called the police on him for asking her cousin to leave his house, Medikal had a recent outburst.

    Fella Makafui Allegedly Arrested (Detail here)

    Precious Fella Makafui, an actress and businesswoman, has allegedly been arrested, according to an iSpyGh statement.

    On Wednesday, May 22, 2024, the arrest was carried out in collaboration with the Pharmacy Council Ghana and the investigative documentary filmmaking company ISPYGH 247. Makafui is accused of selling illegal drugs, engaging in deceptive advertising, and distributing advertisements that have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

    Akwasi Koranteng and his group of undercover reporters from ISPYGH 247 conducted a six-month surveillance operation to track Makafui’s social media activity on TikTok and Instagram in order to compile proof of her purportedly unlawful actions.

    Authorities confiscated sixteen different products from her Mempeasem shop upon her arrest: Spice Herbal Infection Mixture, Yoni Wash Gel, Orgasmic Gel, Weight Gain Syrup, Spice Coded Powder, Tiger Herbal Mixture, Breast Firming and Enlargement Cream, Hip and Big Butt Tea, Butt and Hips Enlargement Oil, Booty Cream, Booty Scrub, Fertility Tea (Fibroid and Womb Tea), Vagina Detox Pearls, and Male Sexual Vitality Tea.

    According to investigators, Makafui acknowledged that the majority of the medications she sold were not FDA-registered. Bail has been issued in anticipation of additional investigation.

    This cooperative effort seeks to maintain pharmaceutical care standards, ensure adherence to pharmaceutical regulations, and shield the public from dangerous and unapproved products.

    We will provide more case updates as they become available.

  • Ama Governor to finally be called to the Bar

    Ama Governor to finally be called to the Bar

    The authorization to apply for a bar call for 2024 has been given to the popular Ghanaian social media personality and YouTuber Elorm Ama Governor-Ababio, commonly referred to as Ama Governor online.

    The announcement is a significant turning point for Ababio, who has had a difficult two years due to the Ghana Legal Council’s decision to call her to the bar.

    However, based on a list made public by the Director of the Ghana School of Law, Ama Governor is one of the 181 candidates who have been qualified for this prestigious legal ceremony, according to thelawplatform.online.

    The General Legal Council has the authority to amend the list if it finds any inconsistencies.

    Ama Governor’s application to the bar was turned down in November 2022 as a result of a complaint made by a “concerned citizen.”

    Ama Governor was accused of acting in a way that was “unbecoming of an applicant to be called to bar” in the complaint.

    The Legal Council decided to halt her call to the bar as a result of the complaint.

    The decision sparked heated discussions about the behaviour of Ghanaian law students as well as large-scale reactions on and off social media.

    Ama Governor stated that she was subjected to unfair treatment and denied the accusations of misconduct made against her.

    Ama Governor’s second denial of a call to the bar in 2023 sparked reactions.

    Her admission to the bar was approved in November 2023.

  • Gborbu Wulomo summons Fella Makafui and Medikal regarding the purchase of land at Nungua

    Gborbu Wulomo summons Fella Makafui and Medikal regarding the purchase of land at Nungua

    The Overlord of the Gadangme State, Gborbu Wulomo-Shitse, has called Ghanaian rapper Medikal and his ex-wife Fella Makafui to his palace in relation to their acquisition of land in Nungua.

    On Friday, May 24, 2024, the troubled couple is scheduled to make an appearance at the Gborbu Wulomo’s palace to address the issues raised.

    This invitation comes after a land document that names Medikal and Fella Makafui as the buyers of the aforementioned land went viral on social media. In order to validate their purchase, the Gborbu Wulomo has asked that the couple bring all supporting documentation.

    The document leaked online during Medikal and Fella’s public spat. Their dispute extends to their current residence, where both are living together. For the sake of their daughter, Fella’s name was added, despite Medikal’s claim that he only contributed the money. Fella, on the other hand, contests this and has promised to make her case in court.

    The purpose of the Gborbu Wulomo’s invitation is to verify the veracity of their claims to land acquisition. The couple, who was formerly well-known for their public displays of affection, has disclosed that they are divorcing and are going through marital difficulties.

    Medikal asked Fella’s cousin to vacate their shared residence, which led to recent arguments over their living arrangements.

    Their dispute has gotten even more intense as a result of Fella asking the Criminal Investigation Department to look into Medikal.

    Sarkodie clarifies, “My ‘Brag’ song was not to ‘jab’ Davido, Wizkid, Asake, and Blacko”

    In to rumours that he disparaged Nigerian music icons Wizkid, Davido, Burna Boy, and Asake in his most recent hip-hop song, “Brag,” renowned Ghanaian rapper Michael Owusu Addo, better known by his stage name Sarkodie, has responded.

    Speaking about his objectives in an interview with VoxAfrica, the “Otan” hitmaker stated that his songs were not intended to belittle these musicians.

    Sarkodie declared in his song “Brag” that he was at the top of his game and had already established his own reputation in the rap industry before Davido and Wizkid became well-known.

    He went on to assert that, compared to Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, he is superior to all other African artists.

    The multi-award winning rapper revealed in an interview with VoxAfrica that his lyrics were merely allusions to his career highlights and stories about his history.

    He also revealed that, since these artists are not rappers, he would never “jab” them. Sarkodie says he likes the trend and energy because it is “great PR,” even though the rumours are unfounded.

    “I don’t understand what is going on but I just love it. It is great PR, you cannot even pay for this. I am just talking to rappers about how long I have been there. It is just references of how long I have been there, it’s not throwing jabs at anybody.

    “These are amazing and incredible artistes…to be very honest, I wouldn’t like to even clear this because I like the energy that is going on, it’s not true but I’m loving it,” he said.
