Popular Ghanaian rapper Medikal, also known as Samuel Adu Frimpong, has come under fire on social media for his attire worn when paying a courtesy call at Ghana’s High Commission in the United Kingdom.
In videos posted to social media, Medikal could be seen greeting the High Commissioner, who was dressed in a suit, while sporting a black two-piece jumpsuit, a cap, sneakers, and shades.
Netizens were not amused by the striking contrast between the two and chastised Medikal for his attire on social media, with many asking why he had not dressed more professionally for the visit.
You can’t even go to the club in London wearing that attire. One message read, “Unless you’re the landlord, you’ll be bounced.”
“So my man was unable of even wearing somewhat respectable clothing. formal attire, or something like. Copying blindly. Not that the high commission should have let him in at all wearing that road suit and cap. My brother, mature. “I was going to go watch the show, but after this, I’ve changed my mind,” wrote another.
Another stated, “Even Black Americans won’t behave like this.”
On April 25, 2024, Medikal, who is currently in the UK in advance of his May 3 performance at the Indigo O2 stadium, made a courtesy call to the Ghanaian High Commission in London.
Papa Owusu-Ankomah, the High Commissioner, welcomed him with open arms, extending the musician his support and expressing his pride in Medikal’s accomplishments.
