During an appearance on Joy Prime monitored by MyNewsGh, Ghanaian rapper Medikal clarified why he named his newborn son Space, a name that has triggered social reactions.
Speaking to host Andy Dosty, Medikal stated that the name was intentional. “I feel like I want a child to grow into an infinite world, you know? That’s why I named the child Space,” he said.
He dismissed the perception that his children’s names, Island, and Space are random trends.
When Andy asked why he did not choose a more conventional name, Medikal replied: “Andy, what’s the meaning of Andrew? You don’t even know. You should look into it.”
The rapper added that he prefers names that carry freedom and expression. “What’s your name? Space. I give you space. You have a lot of space to explore,” he joked.
Medikal also hinted that he is not considering more children for now. “Right now I just want to focus on Island and Space, and my career. I always want to be there for my kids,” he said.
