The rapper made the disclosure in an interview on Okay FM on May 14, 2026, after dedicating one of his awards at the 2026 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs) to Space, a moment that caught the attention of many fans and observers.
According to Medikal, the dedication was a spontaneous but deeply personal gesture, triggered by hearing the song play as he walked to the stage to collect his award.
"When I was going for the award, one of my songs was being played in the background, and that was 'Fully Active'. I made that song because my son doesn't sleep. He's always active, and whenever he hears a little sound, he wakes up. That's what inspired me to record that song," he explained.
He added that the moment instantly reminded him of the story behind the track, making the dedication feel natural and fitting.
"When I heard the DJ playing the song when I was going for the award, I remembered I recorded it because of my son. That's why I dedicated it to my son Space," he said.

The award dedication, however, sparked speculation online that Medikal favours Space over Island, his daughter with his ex-wife, Fella Makafui.
In a quick response, the rapper dismissed the online speculation. He pointed to having recorded an entire album dedicated to Island as evidence of his equal love for both children.
"When it comes to Island, I've done a whole album for Island. I can't say I love Space more than Island. They're my children, so I love both of my children equally," he stated.
Medikal also used the opportunity to push back against what he described as a tendency by the public to over-interpret his actions, urging people not to read too deeply into every gesture he makes.
"People like to talk a lot and they always want to read meanings into things," he said.
