As tongues wag over news of Fella Makafui and Medikal’s failed marriage, the rapper has said they never had sex for almost a year while they lived in separate rooms in the same house.

A tweep, in his analysis, claimed that the brouhaha about the marriage might not be as it seems considering that they still live under the same roof.

“Medikal and Fella still live in the same house. They want to stay together and co-parent, but they are separated. This isn’t America; they will still have intimate moments. In the video, Fella is wearing a nightgown, meaning they are staying in the same house, but someone said Fella left—laughable,” the tweet, which was in Pidgin, read.

In response, Medikal refuted the suggestion that he had been making love to Fella Makafui despite the turmoil.

“It’s been almost a year, we never nack [never had sex], we live in separate rooms. I have a nanny who takes care of my daughter! I wouldn’t have been this informative but since she involved the public and called the cops on me rather than solving it at home amicably, it’s best y’all be in the know,” Medikal stated.

Among other claims, the musician said Fella Makafui had a desire to emulate certain women she sees on TV.

This fixation on television personalities, he indicated, has influenced her extravagant way of life and questionable decisions.

“I can’t mention names, but she’s so eager to emulate certain TV personalities, and it’s steering her towards this lifestyle,” he commented.

Medikal also disclosed his opposition to Fella undergoing surgery postpartum and claimed she insisted, citing her peers’ similar procedures.

He has been notably active on social media, particularly following an incident where he alleged that his estranged wife, who still shares their home, reported him to the police.

Medikal attributes this development to his request for Fella to have her cousin, a long-term resident in their household, vacate the premises.

Unqualified individuals led to the collapse of movie industry- Fiifi Coleman

Popular actor and playwright, Fiifi Coleman, has pointed out some factors that have contributed to the decline of Ghana’s movie industry.

According to him, the adoption of foreign cultures, a lack of original storytelling, and the absence of effective distribution channels are factors that affected the industry.

Speaking in an interview on ‘Onua Showbiz’ with Naana Kwame Gyan on what caused a decline in the quality and quantity of Ghanaian movies, Coleman highlighted the influx of unqualified individuals into filmmaking, which played a role in the industry’s downfall.

“A time came when people realised that shooting movies was becoming profitable, so everybody became a cameraman, everybody became a soundman, and they kept doing that until they messed up the industry. There were so many round pegs in square holes,” he said.

He also criticised the industry’s tendency to mimic foreign cultures, which he believes diluted the authenticity of Ghanaian and African stories.

“The storytelling became copy-copy, with foreign cultures influencing us. The education we needed at the time was okay, but everybody came in and wanted to do something, which ultimately messed up the whole industry,” Coleman added.

Another major issue Coleman highlighted was the lack of reliable distribution platforms for movies after production.

This challenge, he said, discouraged many producers and industry players, leading to their eventual exit from the sector.

“After shooting a movie, figuring out where to distribute it became a challenge. This reluctance caused a vacuum, and eventually, everybody stopped,” he explained.
