The LookAlike Mantra is the New Craze that is progressively dominating the media landscape.
All of the well-known celebrities seem to have a clone, and they have begun to emerge one after the other.
These include young men who parade themselves as impersonators of celebrities like Medikal, King Promise, Kuami Eugene, KiDi, Stephen Appiah, etc.
In recent days, these people have taken over social media with videos that mimic the original in terms of acting, speaking, walking, and in some cases, even clothing.
The multi-award-winning Ghanaian rapper Medikal has expressed his displeasure with the media’s embrace of celebrity impersonators.
Rapper Medikal has criticized the nation’s media outlets for tolerating celebrity lookalikes in their studios.
Additionally, he urged media outlets and bloggers to stop writing about these alleged clones. He asserted that the absurdity must end.
In a recent video, the MDK gave the lookalikes employment advice as opposed to using the likenesses of celebrities to make quick cash.
According to Medikal, the attention has shifted away from the musicians who put a lot of effort into making their music and toward those who impersonate and make money off of artists as a result of the rise of celebrity lookalikes.
He clarified that as an artist, he inspires people to put in extra effort and increase their income. The Sowutuom native said this as he pummeled the impersonators with a barrage of punches.
