Medikal reveals ‘dark secrets’ as marriage to Fella hits rocks
Medikal and Fella in happy times
The love affair and marriage between Ghanaian rapper Medikal and wife Fella Makafui has turned sore as the couple are now separated.
Speculations about their marriage has dominated the media space when Medikal prior to his show at the 02 Indigo in London, hinted that they were separated but living in the same house and co-parenting their daughter.
The couple married in 2020, had a beautiful daughter together and constantly displayed their affection on social media.
But in recent times, it had been the case of ‘love-gone-bad’ as they seem to be engaged in separate activities and a ‘battle for space’.
Subsequently, the rapper in a series of Snapchat posts opened up on very shocking issues that may have led to the current situation.
What fuelled Medikal’s recent outburst he claimed, was when the ‘ex-wife’ called the police on him for asking her cousin, who had stayed with them for the past two years, to vacate their home.
He then went on to ‘set the records straight,’ revealing that Fella physically assaulted him by hitting his head with a coffee cup, exposed their daughter to weed gummies, did not cook for him in two years and disposed of her engagement ring while having fun in Dubai.
He also revealed that, Fella had a post-pregnancy cosmetic surgery to flatten her stomach and promote her flat tummy tea and waist trainer business, in which he had invested $300,000.
That, he said, was in addition to paying huge sums of money for Fella to undergo a BBL procedure in Nigeria and Turkey.
Fella who had been the quiet one all these while decided to break her silence with a press statement issued on May 18, where she admitted that they decided to end the four-year marriage since things had been bitter for the past few months and only waiting for their respective families to complete required customary rites.
“Recently, however, my husband has been making a little too many public statements on our marriage, our beloved daughter, my family and my businesses. These public statements, considerable parts of which are a great departure from the truth, have caused significant hurt to me, my family and to my business,” the statement read.
It added that, “for my deep respect to our two families, for the relative privacy which the institution of marriage requires and, most importantly, the best interest of our beloved daughter, I have decided to resort to only lawful and appropriate forums to address my grievance.”
To that end, it said, “I have reluctantly initiated a legal process which I believe will ensure that my daughter and I are safe and also, that I and my husband’s co-parenting duties are properly and sufficiently streamlined and regulated in accordance with law.”
She expressed appreciation to her family and friends for their support throughout this trying times and asked for their understanding with regard to privacy.

In the ever-evolving journey of Ghanaian music, there are individuals whose contributions transcend the spotligh.
There are always men and women who work quietly yet powerfully to preserve culture, nurture legends, and keep the soul of the music alive across generations and borders.
One such figures is Jerry Amoah, widely known and affectionately called Nana Kobo.
This year, Ghana Music Awards-USA honours Jerry Amoah for his unwavering commitment to sustaining Ghanaian music, both at home and in the diaspora.
It is a recognition long deserved, a celebration of decades of passion, sacrifice, and cultural stewardship.
Jerry Amoah’s journey has never been about personal glory. Instead, it has been anchored in service: promoting Ghanaian sounds, advocating for artistes, and ensuring that the richness of Ghana’s musical heritage continues to resonate beyond national borders.
Through his tireless efforts, many Ghanaian musicians have found platforms, audiences, and renewed relevance, especially within Ghanaian communities abroad.
Central to his legacy is his steadfast support for gospel music and, in particular, his enduring association with legendary gospel icon Yaw Sarpong.
At times when gospel music needed champions, Jerry Amoah stood firm—protecting its values, amplifying its message, and honoring its pioneers. His respect for Yaw Sarpong is not merely professional; it reflects a deep appreciation for music as ministry, heritage, and moral compass.
Colleagues often describe Nana Kobo as a bridge—connecting generations, genres, and geographies.
He understands that Ghanaian music is not just entertainment, but identity. Through festivals, promotions, mentorship, and behind-the-scenes advocacy, he has helped ensure that Ghana’s rhythms, lyrics, and spiritual expressions remain relevant in a globalized world.
As Ghana Music Awards-USA prepares to bestow this honour, it is not simply recognizing one man—it is saluting a lifetime of dedication to culture, faith, and music.
Jerry Amoah’s story reminds us that true impact is measured not by applause, but by legacy.
