Content creator and media personality Erica Nana Akua Appiahnimah, popularly known as Highest Eri, has shared new details about the misunderstanding surrounding her and rapper Medikal, following comments made by dancehall artiste Shatta Wale.
Speaking on the KSS podcast on Monday, November 24, 2025, Highest Eri said the controversy began after she saw a viral video in which Shatta Wale made an inappropriate remark about her during discussions about Medikal possibly appointing her as his Public Relations Officer (PRO).
“I was in the office when someone showed me a video of an artiste calling himself the greatest of all time, making an inappropriate statement about me before Medikal could employ me,” she said.
According to her, what hurt the most was Medikal’s reaction in the video.
“When I saw the video on Saturday, I was confused. I thought maybe it was a joke or whatever he claimed it was. But Medikal, the person who wanted to employ me, didn’t defend me…. he was laughing. What exactly was funny? That was my question,” she stated.
She revealed that the incident made her reconsider her decision to work with the rapper. However, she still joined him for a planned visit to donate items to the National Chief Imam ahead of Medikal’s upcoming concert.
“When we got to the place, I told him I didn’t want to appear in any videos or pictures because I wasn’t sure if I still wanted to work with him,” she explained.
Eri said she later asked Medikal to clarify whether BYK had any connection to the Shatta Movement (SM) camp, since the comment came from another artiste.
“Why would someone make such a statement about me when you’re the one employing me?” she questioned.
Expressing her frustration, she added that she felt disrespected by the comments circulating online.
“Let me state this clearly: I don’t entertain disrespect. You’re old enough to be my grandfather. I started listening to Bandana when I was in class two, and now you sit on social media to insult me and my mother,” she said.
