Published

on

Multiple-award-winning Ghanaian rapper Medikal has secured an international nomination, as
His headline concert, “Beyond Kontrol,” gets nominated in the Concert of the Year category at the 43rd edition of the International Reggae and World Music Awards, popularly known as IRAWMA.

Founded in 1982, IRAWMA is one of the longest-running award schemes dedicated to celebrating reggae and world music talents across the globe. Over the years, the platform has recognised influential artists from the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and North America, positioning itself as a respected international institution within the global music community. A nomination from the scheme signals cross-border impact and cultural relevance beyond an artist’s home market.

Medikal’s nomination comes on the back of his “Beyond Kontrol” concert, which was staged at
the Accra Sports Stadium. Hosting a full-scale concert at one of Ghana’s largest venues marked
a significant moment in his live performance career. The show was characterised by high production value, strong stage design, energetic delivery, and a setlist packed with fan favourites. The Concert of the Year category typically recognises not only attendance numbers but overall execution, audience engagement, and cultural impact.

 

Industry observers say the nomination reflects the scale and ambition behind the Accra Sports Stadium event. Beyond the concert, Medikal’s strong positioning this year has also been fueled by the success
of his hit single “Shoulder,” widely regarded as the biggest song of 2025. The track dominated airwaves, streaming platforms, and social conversations, reinforcing his commercial strength and relevance within Ghana’s music landscape.

Although he has not yet secured multiple awards this year, there is growing anticipation that he
will attract more nominations and potentially convert them into wins as award season unfolds.
The combination of a globally recognised nomination and a record-breaking single has
strengthened expectations around his prospects. For Medikal, the IRAWMA recognition is both a personal achievement and a broader spotlight on Ghanaian hip hop’s expanding international reach.

Is McBrown Responding to MzGee? Viral Video Sparks Online Debate

Published

on

A recent viral video of Nana Ama McBrown has set social media abuzz, with many wondering if the actress and media personality, fondly called “Her Excellency McBrown,” was sending a subtle message to broadcaster MzGee.

 

The clip shows McBrown singing and laughing with actress Emelia Brobbey. Brobbey is seated on a sofa, laughing uncontrollably, while McBrown faces the camera, smiling and singing cheerfully. But it was the song’s lyrics that caught people’s attention and fueled speculation online.

 

The lyrics say:

“Do what you can do and leave the rest. Understand people. If you don’t understand human nature, you’ll be like a crab. Whatever you do will not please them. Understand human nature. Even God does not understand humans, so how can you understand humans?”

The timing of the video has sparked debate. Many netizens believe McBrown was responding to MzGee’s recent emotional remarks about her stint on United Showbiz.

 

The Background

MzGee went viral after an interview on Okay FM with Nana Romeo Welewele, where she opened up about the intense backlash she faced after taking over United Showbiz from McBrown. She said the criticism became especially harsh because she was stepping into McBrown’s shoes as host of the UTV entertainment show.

 

MzGee also revealed that she had expected McBrown to publicly defend her while viewers and fans criticized the transition.

 

McBrown hosted United Showbiz on UTV under Despite Media Group before exiting for Media Generale. She now hosts Onua Showtime with McBrown on Onua TV. After her departure, MzGee became the face of United Showbiz, a change that triggered widespread debate and constant comparisons between the two presenters.

 

Mixed Reactions Online

McBrown has not directly addressed MzGee’s comments. Yet the viral video and its lyrics have reignited conversations online. Some social media users think the song was a pointed message about criticism and public perception. Others argue it was just a lighthearted moment between two colleagues, with no hidden meaning.

 

For now, McBrown has stayed silent on the speculation, leaving netizens divided over whether the video was a subtle response or simply a fun moment caught on camera.

 

Meanwhile, followers in the comment section have already formed their opinion that the song is a shade thrown at MzGee. Check out some of the comments below:
