The Twitter account of Ghanaian rapper AmgMedikal has been shut down. Following a message from Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who stated that “any Twitter handle engaged in impersonation without clearly declaring ‘parody,’ will be permanently terminated,” this statement was made.
The image of President Nana Akufo Addo was subsequently used by Medikal as his profile picture. Additionally, he changed his moniker to “Mr. President” and omitted to note that the account was a parody and had nothing to do with the president of Ghana.
Medikal’s account was reported to Elon Musk by Twitter user “Beno Sarkcess” who claimed that the “Stubborn Academy” member was attempting to mimic the president of Ghana.
The mentioned account was immediately blocked and suspended after that.
Our investigations have found that Medikal’s Twitter account has been shut down. We are unable to determine if the suspension is temporary or not, though. The offending accounts, according to Elon Musk, will be permanently suspended.
