Controversial Ghanaian-born social media influencer and musician Archipalago, now based in the U.S., has responded to critics who labeled him a cleaner.

Sometime ago, Archipalago posted a photo of himself in healthcare scrubs, celebrating his new career path with the caption “hard work and dedication.” While many cheered him on, some speculated he was working as a cleaner rather than a healthcare professional.

Addressing the rumors on the Girls Aloud podcast recently , Archipalago didn’t hold back. “I’m going to call that illiteracy,” he said. “Many people back home think anyone wearing scrubs must be a cleaner, but in reality, it’s not easy to achieve what I’ve achieved here in America. Some people can’t accept that I’m a healthcare professional because they never imagined someone like me in this field. Anyone who says I clean toilets should do their research before speaking.”
