Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has opened up about the bond he shares with rapper Medikal, describing him as the only artiste in the Ghanaian music industry who genuinely stands by him both in friendship and in business.
In a tweet that has stirred strong reactions online, Shatta Wale recalled how their relationship deepened following a tough chapter in both their lives—when they were arrested and later released in 2021.
“I have made friends with artiste but @Medikalbyk is the only Artiste that breaks bread with me,” he wrote.
The two were jailed briefly in separate but closely timed incidents—Shatta Wale for staging a hoax about being shot, and Medikal for brandishing a firearm on social media. After their release, they seemed to grow even closer, appearing together on several projects and performances.
Shatta Wale pointed to their post-prison success as proof of their chemistry and shared vision. “We made 3.5 million GHC after we came from jail in just a day concert. $300k in 2 weeks in America on our tour… and many more!!” he revealed.
The musician credited their partnership for these financial wins and hinted that their teamwork extends far beyond the stage. “Why won’t I always share ideas with him? It’s not late for us to be ready to obey and listen to the one who holds the mantle,” he said, suggesting a deep level of respect and strategic alignment between them.
The tweet comes amid renewed conversations about loyalty and collaboration in Ghana’s music scene. Shatta Wale has often been vocal about what he perceives as a lack of genuine support among artists, making his praise of Medikal particularly significant.
