Kwesi Arthur is a Ghanaian rapper
Fan bases often pitch their favourite artistes against others, comparing impact and body of work. But rapper Kwesi Arthur is not a fan of that culture.
During a Q&A session on his X page on February 20, 2026, a netizen asked him about the constant comparisons between him and Medikal, particularly in terms of rap ability and impact, and what he makes of it.
Kwesi Arthur had high praise for the “Omo Ada” hitmaker, describing him as a genius. He noted that he gets upset whenever he sees people draw comparisons between himself and Medikal.
According to Kwesi Arthur, in today’s day and age, fans can support their favourite artistes without turning it into a competition.
Never compare me to Kwesi Arthur or any rapper – Medikal cautions fans
“Medikal is a genius. I get mad when I see people do that. I think it’s stupid. It’s 2026. We can support our favourite artistes without the foolery,” Kwesi Arthur wrote.
Medikal had also cautioned netizens against such comparisons in April 2025. In a post shared on X, he stated that comparing him to other rappers, particularly Kwesi Arthur, was unnecessary and disrespectful to his craft and achievements.
“Never ever compare me to any artiste, not Kwesi Arthur or anyone. Don’t even dare, are you guys fukn mad?” Medikal posted.
Medikal went further to declare that no rapper, whether in Ghana, across Africa, or internationally, measures up to him in terms of talent, impact, or work ethic.
“Make una never compare me to any rapper for Ghana, Africa and beyond, nobody be my mate!” he added in pidgin.
