Ghanaian rapper Medikal has owned up about why he calls Shatta Wale by the nickname Achidudu.

The rapper has used the name on several occasions. It appeared to be a mystery shared by only the two of them.

During a recent TikTok interaction with Papi of the hiplife group 5Five fame, Medikal publicly shared the backstory behind the shared name for the first time.

According to the rapper, he got to hear the name for the first time when he joined Shatta Wale in prison for a gun-related crime in 2021.

The SM boss was arrested on October 19, 2021, for faking a gun attack on him and was placed in the Ankaful Prison for five days.

He was also charged with displaying arms and ammunition and remanded in the same facility for five days.

While in prison, the bond between Medikal and Shatta Wale grew stronger, as the former stated in an interview last year.

In sharing the backstory behind Shatta Wale's Achidudu nickname, Medikal said:

"We were there when we heard someone shout the name Achidudu. Obviously Shatta turned because he could identify the person as one of his childhood friends from Korle Gono. I asked him where the name was from, and he replied that he wouldn't want the name to come out and taint his brand."

On the live chat, Shatta Wale attempted to debunk the story and told Medikal to stop teasing him.

Their interaction excited scores of fans who have religiously followed their bromance since it started.
