- As Shatta Wale faced detention by EOCO over alleged money laundering and tax evasion, fans noticed the absence of his close friend and collaborator, Medikal.
- While key industry figures rallied at EOCO’s Accra office to support the dancehall star, Medikal remained out of sight, only posting online later that evening.
- His silence has sparked mixed reactions, with some defending his privacy and others questioning his loyalty.
When news broke that Shatta Wale had been detained by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), chaos quickly unfolded outside the agency’s Accra headquarters. Hundreds of fans gathered, chanting for his release, while members of his inner circle worked behind the scenes to meet bail conditions.
The dancehall icon was being investigated for alleged money laundering and tax evasion. His 2019 Lamborghini Urus had already been confiscated, and reports suggest the vehicle may be linked to an FBI case. Alongside Shatta Wale, a former officer from the National Signals Bureau is also being treated as a person of interest.
Among those spotted at EOCO were familiar faces: manager Sammy Flex, music executive Leslie Quaynor, Rufftown Records boss Bullet, and SM Empire’s Captan. Their presence sent a clear message of solidarity.
But one name was conspicuously missing — Medikal.
Known for his close friendship and frequent collaborations with Shatta Wale, Medikal’s absence didn’t go unnoticed. Fans expected him to be front and center, standing by his longtime ally during a turbulent moment. Instead, he remained offline until later that evening, posting on social media around the same time Shatta Wale was released.
The silence sparked a wave of speculation. Some argued that Medikal may have been helping behind the scenes, choosing discretion over drama. Others felt disappointed, questioning why someone so publicly linked to Shatta Wale would stay out of sight when support mattered most.
In the world of celebrity friendships, public perception often blurs the line between loyalty and privacy. For now, Medikal’s quiet stance remains open to interpretation — but the conversation around it is louder than ever.
