I recorded like 100 songs and only a few made me. But the awards don\u2019t make you who you are. Shatta is my good friend and he hasn\u2019t got that awards but he is going up. I am an entertainer so I won\u2019t let those things bring me down\u2026\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Medikal further indicated that negative critics don\u2019t get to him but rather power him to excel in the music industry.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he expects to win an award this year, Medikal said \u2018I don\u2019t even know if my team filed for it. It\u2019s not anything I know. I have a lot of information occupying my mind. I am a member of MUSIGA. I don\u2019t know about GHAMRO.<\/p>\n<p>He said \u201cCriticisms don\u2019t stress me. Just as battery is positive and negative I need it all to fuel my fire. It doesn\u2019t let me down. I need it in my system. If no one is talking about me I feel bad\u2026\u201d he told show host Any Dosty.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Monday, 26 February 2018 Source: adomonline.com 2018-02-26 Ghanaian rapper Medikal AMG rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong, popularly known as Medikal has finally opened up on not winning any award after he was given seven nominations in the 2017 VGMA.
