Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has hit back at a self-styled prophet who claimed to have seen a vision of him being fatally shot by gunmen.
According to the prophet, the vision involved about ten armed men pursuing Shatta Wale in an attempt to take his life. Though the musician reportedly escaped the initial attack, the prophecy further alleged that he was later ambushed and killed by three different assailants.
The prophet added that after escaping the first attack, Shatta Wale was seen on social media thanking God before the second, fatal encounter.
In a fiery response shared online, Shatta Wale criticised the prophet and other so-called men of God who, he claimed, exploit fear to manipulate the public and chase attention for personal gain.
He expressed outrage over what he described as a pattern of false prophecies targeting celebrities to go viral and profit off public anxiety.
Shatta Wale also issued a stern warning to the Ghana Police Service, demanding the arrest of the prophet within a week.
He cautioned that if the matter is not addressed by law, his next move would serve as a “lesson to the country.”
This incident comes amid increasing concern over controversial prophecies involving the lives of public figures. The Ghana Police Service has, in recent years, warned religious leaders against issuing unverified death prophecies that could incite panic or disturb public peace.
