Netizens call out Medikal for ‘sexually harassing’ a lady on stage

Ghanaian rapper, Medikal, has faced backlash on social media for ‘inappropriately’ touching a lady on stage during his performance at the Evandy-Bani Hall Week on June 14, 2025. 

In a video circulating on social media, a lady captured in denim shorts, a white top, and Adidas slippers was invited onto the stage by Medikal during his performance.  

As she joined him, she was hugged by the rapper, during which the Omo Ada hitmaker ‘inappropriately’ touched her buttocks.  

After Medikal had touched her buttocks, the lady’s body language indicated that she was uncomfortable with the act.

She covered her mouth with her palms, shocked and embarrassed by what had happened.  

The audience also reacted to the incident, shouting and chanting “Obi Girl,” which means “someone’s girlfriend” in Twi, implying that Medikal had ‘inappropriately’ touched someone else’s partner. 

In response to the chants, Medikal asked the lady on stage if she had a boyfriend. The lady nodded her head to confirm that she did.  

Medikal then turned to the crowd and made a comment suggesting that the lady only admitted to having a boyfriend because there were cameras recording the event. 

“You should all stop the fans. If there were no cameras here, would she have admitted to having a boyfriend?” Medikal told the crowd. 

The rapper then went on to ask the lady again whether she would have said the same thing if the moment had not been caught on camera. 

“If there were no cameras here, would you have admitted to having a boyfriend?” he asked her. 

The video has sparked outrage online, with many netizens condemning Medikal’s actions as inappropriate and a form of sexual harassment.  

Some netizens pointed out that the rapper had crossed a line by touching the lady’s buttocks without her consent and making light of the situation. 

Other sections of X users have called on the lady involved to consider taking legal action against Medikal.
