Ghanaian rapper Medikal has made headlines in recent days for his unusual choice of footwear during a trip to the UK.
The rapper, who is set to perform at the O2 Indigo concert in May, was seen wearing a pair of black slippers, which he referred to as his “lucky chalewote.”
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Medikal revealed the backstory behind his attachment to the chalewote and why he chose to wear it on an international trip. According to the rapper, the chalewote holds significant sentimental value to him, and he even shared an anecdote about how he signed a million-dollar deal while wearing it.
“People may not value it. But in the future, I hope to pass it on to someone who values it just to ensure its worth is sustained for a long time,” Medikal said.
The photo of Medikal wearing the chalewote sparked a discussion online, with fans expressing their excitement about his upcoming concert in London.
Netizens have also been sharing their thoughts, with many expressing their anticipation for Medikal’s performance and calling it a historic moment. Elsewhere, a video of Medikal’s wife, Fella Makafui, and their daughter, Island Frimpong, has also been making the rounds on social media.
