Massimiliano Colasuonno Taricone, the Consul of Ghana to Italy and Trasacco boss, has said the new generation of fake rich doing everything to get noticed is not part of Ghana’s culture.
The Trasacco boss made these remarks in reaction to a viral video of Metro TV staff scrambling for cash tossed by Ghanaian musician Samuel Adu Frimpong, commonly known as Medikal.
In a viral video shared on social media, Medikal was captured leaving the premises of Metro TV in his luxury black car, where he sprayed money before leaving, leaving staff members of the TV station wildly scrambling for cash.
Reacting to the viral video, the Trasacco Boss stated he feels pity with disgust whenever he sees people tossing money to a crowd.
In a post in reaction to the video, he wrote, “I feel a deep sense of pity mixed with disgust whenever I see scenes like this”.
However, a netizen under his post argued that the Trasacco boss will not understand that it is part of Ghana’s culture.
He wrote, “U Will definitely not understand cuz this is not ur culture”.
In a sharp rebuttal, the Trasacco boss stated, “It’s not even part of Ghana’s noble culture, which has always been generous yet discreet.
This recent trend of the past decade, a new generation of fake rich doing everything to get noticed and sadly influencing the youth, has nothing cultural about it. It’s simply disgraceful”, he added.
Another netizen joined in the debate, with one agreeing with the Trasacco boss saying, “I agree with you one. Ghanaians are esuatra (over learners)! My people learnt this from Nigerians! In proper Ghanaian culture, when they are given handouts, they hide them. Not for public consumption. This here is alien”.
“Same. It’s so inhuman and stupid. There are about 15 people there. Whichever money you’d want to give them, nominate one person and tell him to share it equally. He could’ve even done it himself.
But no, throw it on the floor and let them scramble for it like animals”, another X user wrote.
Additionally, a netizen also added, “I remember my history class whenever I see someone spray money for the less privileged to pick up.
It happened during slavery, and to see some incredibly senseless artists repeat it bores me to bits”.
This is not the first time Medikal has been captured spraying cash.
It will be recalled that last year, some social media users criticised rapper Medikal and Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale for spraying cash on the streets upon their return from the UK after they sold out the 2,800-capacity Indigo O2.
Medikal, on May 3, 2024, hosted the show and was joined by A-list Ghanaian artistes, including Sarkodie and Bisa Kdei.
Medikal and Shatta Wale arrived at Kotoka International Airport on May 14, 2024 and were greeted by throngs of fans and supporters.
In a video, the duo was seen clutching stacks of cash, climbing the roof of a car, and spraying the money on the excited fans and in a separate video, Medikal’s convoy stopped in the midst of traffic, and he sprayed cash onto the streets as excited hawkers scrambled for the notes.
His display, however, was not well received by many on social media, who proceeded to lambast Medikal and Shatta Wale.
