Ghanaian rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong, popularly known as Medikal, has revealed that he had to clear his name with embassies due to his criminal record before he could travel. <\/p>\n
In an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, Medikal said the process was strenuous and emotionally draining. <\/p>\n
“I felt inhuman, it wasn\u2019t right,” he recalled. <\/p>\n
The rapper admitted that he was initially unaware of the legal implications of his actions, stating, \u201cI didn\u2019t know; I was clueless about the fact that it was an offense in this country.\u201d <\/p>\n
He also expressed frustration over how his case was handled, adding, “Brandishing isn\u2019t when you\u2019re at home, taking a picture of something the police registered and licensed for you themselves.” <\/p>\n
The rapper went on to explain his tweet criticising the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he believed was unfair imprisonment, asserting that he didn\u2019t commit any crime. <\/p>\n
Medikal also expressed his indifference toward the incoming NDC administration, saying, “I don\u2019t trust the next party coming into power, but I just hope they will treat citizens fairly and won\u2019t abuse their power.” <\/p>\n
