Following a contentious interview on United Showbiz, a popular Ghanaian talk show, rapper Medikal received a private apology from Despite Media Group, according to musician Shatta Wale. The interview, hosted by MzGee, reportedly veered into Medikal’s personal life, overshadowing his recent success at the O2 Indigo concert in London. This sparked outrage, with Medikal and his supporters, including Shatta Wale, slamming MzGee’s interview style.

Shatta Wale, during a discussion with Afia Schwarzenegger on TikTok, revealed that Fadda Dickson, head of Despite Media Group, reached out to Medikal to express regret over the incident. However, a public apology from MzGee herself was noticeably absent. This behind-the-scenes apology drew criticism from both Shatta Wale and Afia Schwarzenegger. They questioned the fairness of the situation, highlighting the lack of public accountability for MzGee’s actions despite the impact on Medikal’s image.

Shatta Wale expressed his frustration, stating that MzGee should have publicly apologized for overshadowing Medikal’s achievement. Afia Schwarzenegger echoed this sentiment, criticizing the practice of media management apologizing privately for public controversies while the involved personalities remain unaccountable. They argued that this approach creates a one-sided narrative and disregards the public’s perspective.

The news of this private apology has ignited discussions about media responsibility and the importance of striking a balance between entertainment and professional conduct during interviews.
