The account of Rapper Medikal, has been suspended from Twitter for impersonating President Akufo-Addo.
In a bid to draw attention to his ‘Sika Mp3 Dede’ track, Medikal changed his Twitter profile (AVI) to a photo of President Akufo-Addo. He also changed his username to “Mr President”.
He was therefore suspended from using the social media platform because he impersonated Ghana’s sitting President.
The suspension comes days after Elon Musk, the new owner of Twitter, warned users of the ‘freed’ yet seemed caged bird app to desist from impersonating notable personalities on his platform.
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying “parody” will be permanently suspended. Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning.”
“This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue. Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark,” Elon Musk tweeted.
