King Promise’s doppelganger is on a warpath with Medikal and has demanded an immediate apology from the mainstream artsite and former VGMA rapper of the Year winner otherwise things will turn ugly between them.
Recall that news about the young men who parade themselves as impersonators of certain celebrities have been warned not to do so by Medikal.
In a video posted on social media, Medikal claimed that with the emergence of celebrity lookalikes, the focus has switched from the musicians who diligently toiled to create their music to those who impersonate and profit from artists.

According to Medikal, musicians would be thrilled if someone claimed to resemble them, but these lookalikes’ exploitative behaviour toward the artists and their work has crossed the line. The rapper suggested that the young men develop their own sources of revenue instead.
“If you claim to look like me and so want to live like me, fine then find money. Because Medikal is always looking for money, I am always preaching about money, telling people to grind, not to give up, to forget everybody and keep going hard, so why are you online asking for MOMO? Because Medickal doesn’t come on live to ask for MOMO.”
He practically singled out King Promise’s lookalike and blasted him for his looks. This did not go down well with the young singer who issued a sharp rebuttal as demonstrated in the video shared below;
Similarly, Kuame Eugene has warned his lookalike sternly to take precautions because he is currently stepping beyond his bounds.
In a recent interview with MX24 TV, Kuami Eugene stated that his lookalike should cease till it goes wrong because he is a brand and a corporate entity.
He claimed that while he initially gave him permission to take ‘enjoy’ himself, it appears that both he and the other impersonators of other well-known Ghanaian artistes are now abusing the privilege; in response to a loud public complaint about the disruption these imitations are making.

He stated; “In those days people used to dress and act like the superstars they admire but I never saw one of them going on stage to go and perform his songs.
“That’s like maximum disrespect so it’s another story when you love the person and wants to rep the person on social media but when it gets to a level when it’s becoming too much.
You see what’s going on and you’re enjoying it, that’s why I said people are just selfish because he’s enjoying that fame and that attention at this particular time nothing is stopping him.
