Ghanaian rapper Medikal has shared his thoughts on why he believes Ghanaian music is struggling to reach greater heights on the global stage.
In a post made on X (formerly Twitter) on November 8, 2025, at 7:22 PM (Ghana Time), the rapper expressed his frustration about what he described as a lack of unity and collaboration among artists in the Ghanaian music industry.
According to Medikal, many artists view one another as competitors instead of collaborators, which he believes is holding back the growth and international reach of Ghanaian music.
Ghanaian music would have flown across more and had increment in mileage but y’all bum ass artiste don’t like to collaborate with each other cuz y’all think it’s all about competition. Bum ass niggas and bitches.

I thank God for my life, He has been too good to me 😇
