Celebrated Ghanaian rapper Medikal gave his millions of fans a view into how he looked when he was growing up and the type of neighbourhood he grew up in.
Medikal's throwback picture
Medikal shared a nostalgic throwback photo of himself on his official X account, and fans could not get enough of the heartwarming picture of his younger days.
In Medikal's throwback picture, he looked like a cheerful teenager as he was seen flashing a wide grin while holding an early-generation iPhone—possibly an iPhone 3GS—an iconic device that defined the era of 2009-2011.
The background of the photo told the story that he grew up in a rural or semi-rural area, possibly on the outskirts of Accra or in his native Sowutuom, judging by the hilly terrain, sparse vegetation, and simple construction. Two women, presumably family or community members, could be seen in the background.
Fashion-wise, young Medikal rocked a sky-blue oversized T-shirt, a digital wristwatch, and earphones, which were connected to his iPhone.
The watch and music player combo gave off classic “cool kid” vibes of that time, showing he already had an eye for fashion and style.
Also, the infectious smile of the Habibi crooner and his perfect white teeth caught the attention of many social media users.
Reactions to Medikal's old picture
Fans pointed out the striking resemblance between young Medikal and his daughter, Island Frimpong, whom he co-parents with actress Fella Makafui.
His wide smile and expressive eyes were the similarities people noticed he shared with his adorable daughter.
Below are the reactions of social media users to Medikal's old picture:
