Ghanaian rapper Medikal is in the spotlight again after clashing with entertainment pundits on Peace FM over a controversial moment during his performance at Evandy-Bani Hall Week on June 14, 2025.
The ‘Confirm’ hitmaker came under fire after a video from his performance went viral. In the video, Medikal was seen inviting a female fan on stage. As she joined him, he hugged her, and during the hug, he appeared to have touched her buttocks.
Many people on social media have described the act as inappropriate and accused Medikal of sexually harassing the lady.
The backlash has triggered conversations around boundaries and respect during stage performances.
But in response, Medikal posted a video online explaining his side of the story. He said the act was not intentional and happened accidentally during the performance.
“I was performing at Evandy and invited one of my fans on stage. I wanted us to dance, but she told me she had a boyfriend, so I respected that and let her go. While hugging her, I accidentally touched her buttocks.
It wasn’t intentional, people are reading too much into it,” he explained.
Despite Medikal’s explanation, some entertainment critics were not convinced. On Peace FM’s Entertainment Review show, pundits including MC Yaa Yeboah and Tilly Akua Nipaa condemned Medikal’s actions and criticised his explanation.
MC Yaa Yeboah, who hosted the show, said what Medikal did was unacceptable and should have serious consequences.
“If you see a lady dressed in a manner where part of her body is exposing, it doesn’t give you any right to touch her unless she has given you the chance. You pressed her buttocks. If this had happened in any serious country, Medikal would have been arrested by now. Also, by this time, ambassadorial deals would have been pulled down,” she said.
Tilly Akua Nipaa also spoke against Medikal’s behaviour. She urged the rapper to take responsibility for his actions rather than defending them.
“One thing I dislike is seeing someone do wrong and they do not want to admit it, he should be a man enough to come out and apologise to the fan and admit his wrongdoing. But to come out and say that we are lying on your name for pressing the lady’s buttocks, it’s not right. His girlfriend Eazzy, if she continues to make Medikal have a thing with her after this incident then she is the most ‘yawa’ woman,” Tilly shared.
Other panelists like Sammy Rasta also added their voices, all calling Medikal out for what they saw as an inappropriate act.
Medikal, upset by the panelists’ comments, went live on TikTok to respond.
He directed his anger at MC Yaa Yeboah, Tilly Akua Nipaa, and the rest of the Peace FM panel.
He argued that the lady involved did not complain, and that the media is blowing the issue out of proportion. He also claimed he gave the lady money after the performance and let her go.
“You are a very stupid woman. I respect women a lot but the fact that she has the guts to say I am a fool means she doesn’t have sense. You should be disappointed in yourself because you don’t know what you are saying. You are talking about the issue because everyone is speaking about it,” Medikal said, addressing MC Yaa Yeboah.
He also fired back at Sammy Rasta and others who referred to him as a “small boy,” questioning what those who call themselves “big men” have accomplished in life.
