In a recent interview, the lookalikes of Ghanaian artistes like King Promise, Mr. Drew, and Medikal—who collectively go by the moniker the Lookalike Association—have admitted that they are struggling financially.
They claimed in a one-on-one interview with blogger and journalist Attractive Mustapha that they believed the buzz surrounding their persona, which they had cultivated by carving out a niche from the popularity of the aforementioned mainstream artists, would bode well for them financially, but regrettably, the opposite is actually the case.
They swiftly stated that they are currently seeking financial backers and a management team to help them in their artistic activities. “Some things if like management come inside it will be easier and simpler for us” they told the blogger during a recent interview.
They also explained that they are no longer doing the look alike things but because that is what shot them to fame people cannot describe them without it. For now we have our song out and we are planning to release an album, an EP and single projects so that’s where our focus is “
Relatedly, despite the disdain and criticism they have drawn from Meidkal and Kuame Eugene, the quartet of Ghanaian lookalikes have had huge support from Mr Drew.
Per the content of a viral video shared on Tiktok, the four wannabe artists who share a striking resemblance to Medikal, King Promise, Mr Drew and Kuame Eugene engaged the ‘real’ Mr Drew in synchronized choreography, and the internet is at their feet presently.
The young men who call themselves the 4Kings had a swell time after Mr. Drew endorsed them and went ahead to vibe them with a beautiful dance routine.
This inevitably shows he has no qualms about impersonating them, as opposed to the warnings issued by his colleagues, notably Kuame Eugene and Medikal, to refrain from impersonating them.
