Medikal continued, saying that in spite of all that he does for his wife, she continued to disrespect him and his family on most occasions by throwing insults at him infront of his friends in one of his house in East Legon all because of a rumor that Medikal is cheating on her with other women which is not true.

She further said that, Medikal's claims and accusations are far from the truth and that he said all those just to defame her and her family which really hurt her.
