Let Them Do Their Thing- King Promise Indirectly Tells Kuame Eugene & Medikal Over Their Lookalikes
King Promise has shared his honest opinion about the influx of lookalikes in the mainstream and the seeming nuisance they are posing.
Unlike the reactions erected by his colleagues Medikal and Kuame Eugene who have previously issued fiery messages to their respective lookalikes from continuing with their modus operandi, King Promise has veered off to a different path.
Some members of the public have labelled these people who resemble the singer as threats, but King Promise has stated that he is not worried by their antics.
King Promise thinks he has no control over how his fans show their support for him given his prominence in the nation, in contrast to some singers who have warned against fans dressing up as their lookalikes.
“Even Ghana’s president is called King Promise, what do I do about that? I mean, I am in a position where I influence a generation with my music and what I do. If people feel like am their role model and idol. They appreciate the music I make and how I carry myself, I am not mad at that,” he disclosed in an interview with Abeiku Santana on Okay FM.
He said they might continue being ardent supporters until they crossed the line, at which point he would have to take action. King Promise repeatedly emphasized that he was the original and that no one could replace him.
“Let them do their thing, it is not like they are crossing some line or boundaries that are crazy. I am cool, I am doing my thing. Everybody knows who the original is. I couldn’t be bothered about this. I feel like they are fans who are showing love in a different way…there is really nothing I can do about it,” he noted.
King Promise lookalike
In the words of King Promise’s lookalike, Medikal is jealous of him and his friends of doppelgangers because they have succeeded in getting more attention from females.
The young man went on Instagram to criticize Medikal for disparaging him and other impersonators of other GH artistes.
He claimed Medikal was insulting him with his jawline because he is envious of his current success. The impersonator boasted that one of his achievements was currently having more girls exclusively to himself.
He claimed that Medikal envied him because all the girls were now fixated on the lookalikes. The reason the celebrities hadn’t taken legal action against those who had used their music in humorous or even profit-making films on social media was another issue he asked them.
Recall that Medikal has already issued a warning regarding young males who display themselves as impersonators of particular superstars. In a video shared on social media, Medikal asserted that the attention has shifted away from musicians who toiled painstakingly to develop their music and toward others who impersonate and profit from artists with the appearance of star lookalikes.
According to Medikal, musicians would be thrilled if someone claimed to resemble them, but these lookalikes’ exploitative behaviour toward the artists and their work has crossed the line. The rapper suggested that the young men develop their own sources of revenue instead.
“If you claim to look like me and so want to live like me, fine then find money. Because Medikal is always looking for money,
I am always preaching about money, telling people to grind, not to give up, to forget everybody and keep going hard, so why are you online asking for MOMO? Because Medickal doesn’t come on live to ask for MOMO.”
