Twitter has reprimanded Ghanaian rapper Medikal indefinitely for allegedly impersonating President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The disqualification, which was made official by the bird application on November 9, 2022, currently shows a blank account on the artiste’s page, with the notice, ‘Account Suspended,’ welcoming visitors.
This came after several social media users reported the ‘Stubborn Academy’ artiste for imitation, forcing the new owner, Elon Musk, to act quickly and halt the artiste from his app.
Elon Musk issued a tweet on November 6, 2022, warning users that any account impersonating another person would be suspended.
“Going Forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ permanently suspended.”
In response to the post, social media users expressed sympathy for the musician, while others lampooned him for acting ‘dumb.’
A user said, “Them say Medikal has been suspended by the new IGP of Twitter, Lmao you people.”
Another said, “If you give Elon Musk a chance, he go used you do scapegoat. Medikal committed himself y’all need to free Beno cos he was joking.”
“Medikal was the first celebrity to be arrested under Dampare, As Twitter too get new IGP, en too take do Medikal, Obolo people ankasa dem dey pri,” another added.
