The same anecdote applies to the former Ghanaian celebrity couple, Medikal and Sister Deborah. The adorable couple who defiled the norm to become a perfect pair served so many relationship goals but broke our hearts when they ended their 5-year affair in 2018.
Cheating, marriage pressure and other issues were cited for their sad break-up. Even though theyâve moved on, we still miss the couple.
Here are eight reasons why we miss them.
Hit songs
Donât forget: they are musicians. Thatâs one of the reasons why they jelled. They gave us back-to-back hits, which propelled their career. From âSampananaâ to âToo Riskyâ, they gave us nothing but hit songs.
Relationship goals
Derby and Medikal gave single people a reason to love someone. From getting cosy in Derbyâs short film âNever Leave Youâ to the romantic treats in Medikalâs music video for âGimme Vibeâ, they served pure relationship goals.
Age is just a number in love

They say âage is just a numberâ and in Medikal and Derbyâs relationship, it applied and worked perfectly. Even though Derby was nine years older than Medikal, they overlooked their age difference and planned their future together. So, I guess itâs okay to plan a future with a sugar daddy or mommy.

The perfect defender
They held each otherâs back. They dealt with social media trolls together, proving that support really matters in relationships. If you mistakenly go for Medikal on Twitter, you should watch out for Derby in seconds. When Medikal lost seven nominations at last yearâs VGMA, Derby single-handedly âmurderedâ internet trolls who heckled her then boo.
Cute wishes
Medikal and Sister Derby
We couldnât have enough of the birthday wishes on social media. Derby, especially, was crafty and witty with her wishes. The humour they accorded when wishing each other canât be forgotten.
âHappy Birthday Debz, you are a very kind positive woman. Words no fit explain the love I have for you chale, enjoy your day. I nor say you nor say I de love you die!â Medikal wrote on Derby's 33rd birthday.
Brother-in-law got their back

Family play a major role in the success of most relationships. And Medikal had more than just family support. Derbyâs brother and musician, Wanlov, accepted their relationship and was supportive. He collaborated with Medikal and even shot and directed âSampananaâ music video for the couple.
