Rapper Medikal recently shared his disappointment with a panelist on Citi TV regarding his coverage of a story about Burna Boy and Shatta Wale. Medikal claimed that the journalist had misquoted him and said things that were entirely untrue.
Medikal stated that he never said that Shatta Wale was solely responsible for shooting Burna Boy to fame, as the journalist had reported. He added that the statement was a fabrication made by a parody account on Twitter, and the journalist had failed to fact-check the source.
Medikal expressed his displeasure with the journalist's lack of professionalism and called for the video to be removed from Citi TV's YouTube channel. He also criticized the journalist's appearance and questioned the media house's hiring practices.
While some people believe that Shatta Wale played a role in popularizing Burna Boy, Medikal maintains that he has never publicly stated this. He called on the media to do better in their reporting and ensure that they verify their sources before publishing stories.
