Although Medikal is relatively young in the industry as a whole, Medikal’s net worth is estimated to be around $1.2 million as of 2025. His sources of wealth come from music royalties, support, and other business opportunities. His accolades have shown the dedication to his craft and how he has connected with fans to progress his music not only in Ghana but beyond.

Who is Medikal?

Samuel Adu Frimpong, an established Ghanaian hip-hop artist popularly known by his ‘stage’ name, Medikal, was born on the 4th of April, 1993, in Sowutuom, a suburb in Accra, Ghana. Medikal’s parents, Porshia Lamptey and James Frimpong, raised him, and after years of hard work and determination, he stands out as one of the best and most impactful rap artists in Ghana.

Medikal became part of Criss Waddle’s record label, the Aroney Gang (AMG) Business, in 2010. Medikal has made a name for himself in the music industry due to his compelling hip-hop songs, relatable lyrics, rap flairs, and incredibly passionate performances. His ascent from being just a boy rapping to becoming a household name in Ghana is a testament to the passion he has for his music, the hard work he puts into it, and the talent he shows.

Medikal’s Journey to Fame

Medikal has challenged himself from the beginning, which has led to Medikal’s career taking off greatly after the release of many hit singles such as Confirm and Forever My Love featuring Bisa Kdei. Medikal’s collaboration with E.L. on the mixtape B.A.R. III: Lomi Era also set up Medikal’s position in the industry. So by 2017 Medikal was already blowing up and was a force to be reckoned with by obtaining a total of seven nominations at the Ghana Music Awards that year, which was unprecedented, and many of them were against ‘industry giant’ Sarkodie.

With help from top Ghanaian artists such as Sarkodie, Criss Waddle, and Joey B, Medikal always managed to pump out hit after hit. Medikal’s album, The Plug, features 10 tracks with contributions from a number of noted Ghanaian stars, including Kofi Mole, Efya, and Joey B, as well as Nigerian superstar Davido, contributing to Medikal’s versatility and global aspect, which his fans admire.

Early Life and Inspiration

Medikal loved music from an early age, growing up in Sowutuom, going to Odorgonno Senior High School, and falling in love with rap. His musical name, “Medikal,” stemmed from his interest in rapping about medical occurrences; not many industry players were doing that at the time.

Medikal’s rap skills were influenced by rappers both worldwide and locally, such as Lil Wayne, Skepta, Sarkodie, Paedae, and Criss Waddle. Those influences assisted in developing Medikal’s own sound and style through his music, which resonates in countries across Africa and beyond.

Personal Life

Medikal’s personal life has always been in the public spotlight, and he is currently with actress and businesswoman Fella Makafui. The couple’s love story has been well documented. On March 7, 2020, they were married at a lavish ceremony that took the hearts of many.

Medikal was romantically linked to Sister Deborah before Fella Makafui; however, his relationship with Fella has since become, undoubtedly, one of the most talked-about relationships in Ghana’s entertainment industry. Medikal and Fella continue to inspire many with their love and support for each other.

Due to his work and talents, Medikal has accumulated numerous awards and nominations, including

* Seven nominations at the 2017 Ghana Music Awards, the most that year; he tied with Sarkodie for total nominations.

* Won Discovery Video of the Year for Anthem at the 2016 MTN 4Syte Music Video Awards.

* Nominations for Discovery of the Year at the Exclusive Men of the Year Awards (EMY) and Best Newcomer at the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA)

These accomplishments showcase Medikal’s impact and budding career both locally and abroad.
