Ghanaian entertainment pundit MC Yaa Yeaboah
Ghanaian entertainment pundit MC Yaa Yeaboah has criticised Medikal for sampling Alabaster Box’s “Akwaaba” song without permission.
During a discussion on United Showbiz on April 19, 2025, MC Yaa Yeaboah labelled Medikal‘s actions as disrespectful and unfounded towards the music group.
She said instead of removing the sampled version from YouTube, the right thing Medikal could have done was apologise to the group for wrongfully using their song.
“What kind of nonsense is this? The ignorance in the industry is too much. Look at how Mr. Drew sampled Rotimi’s song. I am sure assuming Medikal had approached Alabaster Box and explained things to them. They would have forgiven him. But he chooses to do otherwise,” she said.
MC Yaa Yeaboah also criticised Criss Waddle for blindly defending Medikal and even lashing out at Alabaster Box.
According to her, Criss Waddle’s recent social media posts directed at Alabaster Box were utterly disrespectful.
“That is why we don’t move forward in this country. If some people offend you by taking your intellectual property and you take the case to court make you go the full length and deal with them.
“Criss Waddle who sat in the comfort of his home to tweet on social media showed signs of disrespect. If he had the wisdom to write such a kind of song. Why didn’t he do that,” she added.
