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.
