Rapper Samuel Adu Frimpong, professionally known as Medikal, has recently addressed concerns regarding the timing of his Indigo O2 concert in London and the performances of fellow musicians who traveled to support him.
In a phone interview with MzGee on United Showbiz, he stated, “You see, a lot of people underestimate Medikal as a brand. Right now. I am talking about Medikal as a company. This is Samuel talking to you about the company. At the end of the day, the way we promoted this event, it was only right that people came up in their numbers. They ended up coming late and it made the show delay because here they work with time.”
He elaborated on the necessity of ending the show promptly, mentioning, “We were supposed to end the show at 11.00. We would have paid more money if we had exceeded the agreed time by about 300,000 pounds. I am a poor person and I don’t have that kind of money. I will get money only after the show. I wasn’t ready to go through that process of paying money for breaching the contract or an agreement.”
Medikal expressed regret over fans missing out on the event, saying, “My fans didn’t come on time and I don’t blame them. Some people went to work and their off time didn’t favor the show. All these are lessons learned. I now know that the next time I will do play a show in London it will be a very big venue because this venue was too small for the show I had. I honestly had no idea it will happen like it did. We would’ve opted for a bigger venue but at the end of the day we had a good show.”
He concluded by revealing his plans for future events, stating, “The next venue I’ll play a show in London will be the O2 Arena because we need a very big stage so that everyone will be able to come and have fun. I wouldn’t want people to rush to the event only to stand outside. For this recent event, the patrons who had to stand outside were way more than the ones who got the chance to come in which is very bad because most of my fans in London wanted to see my performance. I was hurt that some people couldn’t enter.”
