Ghanaian rapper Samuel Frimpong, popularly known as Medikal, has opened up on the reason behind his fallout with Nigerian musician Davido.
In an interview with Abeiku Santana on December 16, 2024, Medikal disclosed that the rift began when Davido asked him to sever ties with Nigerian artist Dammy Krane, who was involved in a beef with Davido at the time.
Medikal complied, but when he later requested the same loyalty from Davido, he was met with resistance.
“I didn’t want to talk about Davido’s issue, but the reason we fell out was because of loyalty. I had a song with Dammy Krane, and during that time, he was beefing with Davido. Dammy Krane went on social media to announce our collaboration, and Davido hit me up, telling me not to associate with him. Because we were cool, and he often visited me when he came to Ghana, I cut ties with Dammy Krane,” Medikal explained.
He continued, “But when one of Davido’s boys disrespected me in a song, I reached out to Davido to let him know, and his response was, ‘the game is the game.’ That’s when I realised he wasn’t loyal to me. Loyalty means a lot to me, and I grew up valuing it. So, when I saw he wasn’t reciprocating that loyalty, I felt some type of way.”
Medikal also addressed why he blocked Davido on social media after their fallout: “After I confronted him about the issue, he unfollowed me. I told him, ‘I didn’t tell you that,’ and I showed him what a real friend would do. So, he unfollowed me, and I was like, cool. To make it easier for him not to see anything of mine, I blocked him. It all comes down to loyalty,” he added.
The feud between the two musicians has drawn significant attention, with Medikal emphasizing the importance of loyalty in friendships and professional relationships.
