Medikal Exposed For Turning His Back On Shatta Wale?

August 22, 2025

The streets are talking, and the question on everyone’s lips is simple: Where was Medikal when Shatta Wale needed him most?

Fans say Medikal has proven to be a “fair-weather friend”—all smiles, hugs, and hype when the news is good, but completely silent when the storm hit. While loyal SM fans flooded social media calling for Wale’s release from EOCO, Medikal reportedly stayed quiet—no posts, no appearances, no encouragement to the movement.

To make matters worse, just yesterday, while his close ally Shatta Wale was still facing detention drama, Medikal was busy sharing food snaps on Snapchat. For many fans, this was the last straw—a clear sign that his priorities may not align with the brotherhood he always preaches.

Now, SM fans are warning Shatta Wale to be cautious. In their eyes, true loyalty is tested in difficult times, not in moments of celebration. They argue that a real friend would have stood firmly by Wale’s side, both publicly and privately, when the world was watching.

As the conversation grows louder online, the big debate remains: has Medikal just been exposed as a sellout, or is there more to the story than fans are seeing?

Wendy Shay has linked up with OliveTheBoy for “Crazy Love,” a silky, mid-tempo Afrobeat joint built on crisp drums, tender guitar lines and a hook designed for singalongs. Released August 8, 2025, the track leans into chemistry—call-and-response phrases, soft ad-libs, and a bridge that breaks just enough to set up a final chorus lift. Early spins suggest strong radio traction and playlist adds across Ghana and the diaspora.

The collaboration is savvy: OliveTheBoy’s youthful tone meshes with Shay’s seasoned delivery, opening the door to cross-demographic reach. For Wendy Shay, the single arrives amid conversation about her status as one of Ghana’s most consistently streamed female acts—momentum that a well-timed duet can amplify. Expect performance clips, a visual rollout, and remix possibilities tailored for amapiano and uptempo club formats.

With end-of-summer shows on deck, “Crazy Love” has the ingredients to stick around: memorable lyrics, duet dynamics, and a tempo that DJs can slide into both daytime and late-night sets. Watch for choreography challenges and live acoustic flips to further boost its cultural footprint.

A classic silhouette is back in the spotlight as Nana Ama McBrown, Serwaa Amihere and other style leaders fuel a kaba-and-long-skirt resurgence on Ghanaian timelines. Recent photo drops have triggered trending threads dissecting fabric choices, tailoring, headwrap pairings and how the look translates from churchwear to red-carpet glam. Fashion editors say the revival blends nostalgia with a modern, body-positive fit—exactly the type of cyclical trend that social media accelerates.

The conversation isn’t just aesthetic. Designers report increased inquiries about bespoke versions, with bridesmaids’ requests and weekend-owambe bookings rising in tandem. Comment sections brim with practical tips—where to source kente blends, the merits of hand-beading, and how to style with minimalist jewelry. For influencers, it’s a win-win: heritage-forward content with algorithm-friendly visuals.

If the momentum holds through August, expect boutique pop-ups and micro-collections keyed to the silhouette, plus styling reels that push the look beyond formal events into brunch and media-appearance territory. In a year where Ghanaian pop culture is traveling globally, this is a reminder that the runway often starts at home.

Global alt-pop innovator Amaarae has released her album Black Star alongside a glossy video for “Fineshyt,” a club-ready cut that pays cheeky homage to turn-of-the-millennium dance anthems. The visual—shot with neon flair in Ghana—follows a nocturnal storyline and leans into kinetic edits, vocoder sheen and fashion-forward styling. Early reviews have been emphatic, with the project earning “Best New Music” tags and cementing her status as a boundary-pusher within Afropop’s avant lane.

Months of build-up preceded the drop: the single “S.M.O.” teased a palette blending Ghanaian highlife textures with Detroit club bass and zouk colors, positioning Black Star as a genre-hopping showcase. With the album now out, attention shifts to festival bookings and global tour routing as the tracks find their natural habitats: fashion runways, late-night DJ sets and eclectic pop playlists.

For Ghana’s scene, Amaarae’s high-concept rollout underscores a creative corridor where homegrown influences are flipped into world-beating pop statements. Expect collaborations, remixes and visual micro-stories to extend Black Star’s lifespan well into year-end lists—and to inspire a new wave of experimental crossovers among Accra’s rising producers.

Black Sherif has stoked album chatter with a new visualizer for “Victory Song,” a highlight from his 2025 project Iron Boy. The minimalist drop keeps the camera on mood and motion rather than spectacle—an aesthetic that’s become a hallmark of the star’s rollouts—while fans dissect lyric fragments across socials. Music outlets also spotlight the record as among the year’s notable Afropop moments so far, reflecting Sherif’s enduring grip on youth culture narratives.

The Iron Boy campaign has leaned on a cadence of videos, COLORS-style performances and street-level virality, with tracks moving fluidly between streaming charts and DJ rotations. “Victory Song,” in particular, rides Sherif’s gravelly storytelling and triumphant cadence, landing as both a motivational soundtrack and a post-show singalong. As the visualizer circulates, expectations are building for a full video treatment or tour visuals tailored to the record’s soaring hook.

Sherif’s penchant for framing personal struggle as collective catharsis continues to resonate. If the Iron Boy cycle maintains its current tempo—with more visuals and targeted live appearances—the project could define the second half of Ghana’s 2025 music calendar. For now, the new upload has reset the conversation and handed DJs another excuse to spin the track into golden-hour sets.

Organizers of the Tidal Rave Festival have announced Stonebwoy as the headline performer for the 2025 edition, set for August along Ghana’s coastline. The booking reinforces the event’s reputation as a summer pillar for youth culture, blending music, fashion, gaming and brand activations. Promoters say production investments this year will prioritize sound, safety, and immersive zones that extend beyond the mainstage into curated fan experiences.

Stonebwoy’s selection aligns with a hot streak of releases and international dates, making him a logical anchor for a festival that thrives on cross-genre mashups. Expect a setlist mixing smash hits with newer material, plus cameos from surprise guests—an increasingly common device at Ghana’s large-format shows. For emerging acts, Tidal Rave offers discovery moments on secondary stages, where DJs and live bands feed a day-long carousel of energy before the headliner closes out under lights.

With tourism and creative-economy stakeholders backing coastal festivals, 2025’s edition is poised to drive hospitality spend across the weekend. The only question is weather—always a wildcard for outdoor events—but organizers say contingency plans and upgraded staging will keep performances running smoothly. For fans, the headliner announcement starts the countdown: seaside singalongs, camera flashes and the signature Tidal Rave surge when the beat drops.

Afro-dancehall frontman Stonebwoy has released the official music video for “Lovely Weather,” a mellow, highlife-tinged cut that leans into breezy melodies and reflective lyricism. The visuals, unveiled on August 1, 2025, layer coastal imagery with close-up performance shots and stylized color grading, keeping the focus on Stonebwoy’s vocals and the song’s warm groove. The drop extends a prolific run of releases and festival slots across 2025.

The artist has also been active on the live front, with surprise appearances and street-DJ cameos feeding a grassroots buzz between marquee bookings. Fans say the new video balances summertime ease with the earnest storytelling that powered earlier hits, offering a mid-year soundbed that fits radio rotations and curated playlists. With his brand anchored in global collaborations and homegrown rhythms, Stonebwoy’s latest output strengthens his foothold in both Afrobeats and reggae-dancehall listener circles.

Industry watchers note the release lands just as coastal festivals ramp up, where feel-good mid-tempo records tend to resonate.

Shatta Wale questioned by EOCO over Lamborghini; released on revised bail, lawyers vow cooperation

Dancehall star Shatta Wale has been questioned by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) in Accra over a 2019 Lamborghini Urus at the center of a U.S.-linked fraud probe. According to briefings on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, the musician—born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr.—reported to EOCO with his legal team and was later released on bail, with the conditions adjusted the following day. His representatives say they are cooperating fully with investigators and assert the vehicle was acquired lawfully.

The case stems from an American prosecution that secured a 2023 conviction of Nana Kwabena Amuah for a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme. U.S. investigators have been tracing assets allegedly linked to proceeds of crime, including the Lamborghini in Ghana. Shatta Wale has publicly maintained he cannot identify the original seller beyond available documentation and is confident due process will clear his name. The artiste’s camp has urged fans to remain calm while legal processes play out.

In Ghana, the development has ignited intense online debate—especially among rival fan bases—about lifestyle optics, luxury car ownership documentation, and precedent from similar cases. While investigators have not announced fresh charges, the inquiry underlines EOCO’s increasing collaboration with international agencies on asset tracing and financial crimes. As the matter evolves, industry players are watching how celebrity brand equity intersects with legal risk—and whether the outcome shifts norms around public flaunting of high-end cars in the entertainment space.

“Sometimes it takes a father figure to help you see light in dark times. Nii Original 1 Don has been that for me,” Shatta Wale said, expressing his gratitude to the man he considers a strong anchor in his journey.

The musician’s acknowledgment has sparked positive reactions across social media, with fans praising the importance of mentorship and loyalty in the industry.
