Awal Extends Olive Branch — Rapper Apologises to Fameye, Medikal and Calls for Unity in Ghana Music

Rapper Awal has reached out to fellow musicians Fameye and Medikal, offering a heartfelt apology for past misunderstandings and urging for greater unity within Ghana’s music industry.

Speaking in an interview on Okay FM, Awal said he has taken time to reflect on the conflicts that strained his relationships with colleagues and believes it is time to let go and move forward.

Recalling his fallout with Fameye, Awal revealed that the two were once close friends before a business misunderstanding created distance between them.

“I had issues with Fameye. I don't even know how it ended, but there was a misunderstanding between us. I don't know how he felt. Maybe he felt really bad. I would like to tell him that if I've stepped on his toes, I'm sorry,” he said.

He admitted that he misses the bond they once shared. “We were friends and there was business involved, but sometimes I feel bad that we don't have that kind of vibe anymore.”

Awal also addressed his strained relationship with Medikal, explaining that their differences were rooted in the competitive nature of hip-hop, where lyrical shots are part of the culture.

“As for Medikal, I recorded a song, Take It or Leave It. In the hip-hop fraternity, it's part of the culture to take shots at someone. Medikal also used to like me and support me, but through rap culture, one way or the other, I stepped on his toes,” he said.

The rapper concluded by extending an apology to anyone in the creative arts industry who may have been hurt by his actions or words, stressing the need for collaboration to elevate Ghanaian music.

“To all my colleagues in the industry, if I've stepped on your toes in one way or another, I want to say please find a place in your heart to forgive me. Let's do this together because we are doing this for the culture. Let's put Ghana on the map.”
