Dancehall star Charles Nii Armah Mensah, widely known as Shatta Wale, has strongly reacted to a prophecy made by Reverend Daniel Yaw Donkoh, warning of a supposed threat to his life.
In a video shared on Facebook, Reverend Donkoh, who described himself as a “huge fan” of the SM boss, claimed he had received two prophetic visions involving assassination attempts on the musician.
According to the preacher, in the first vision, Shatta Wale was seen fleeing from armed men who tried to kill him. The second vision, however, was more tragic; the clergyman alleged that the attackers succeeded in killing the ‘On God’ hitmaker by ambushing his car.
He claimed the assailants, when apprehended in the vision, pleaded self-defence.
Reverend Donkoh urged the dancehall artist to embark on fasting and prayer to avert the impending danger. He also called on Ghanaians to intercede in prayer for the musician.
However, the prophecy did not sit well with Shatta Wale. In a strongly worded post on his official X (formerly Twitter) page, the Shaxi ride-hailing app CEO lashed out at the pastor and blamed former Inspector General of Police, George Akuffo Dampare, for allowing such doom prophecies to gain ground.
“Men of God indeed. This is what Dampare supported, and it escalated. Ghana police, if you don’t arrest this man within 1 week, nobody should blame me for what I am capable of doing, and it won’t be violence but a lesson to this country 🩸👑 #GODISHERE🩸.”

In a separate post, the dancehall artist accused Ghanaian pastors of brainwashing the citizens with false messages to make money instead of doing God’s work.
“Whilst God is telling me to talk to his people through music and give them hope about this life and how beautiful the world is for them to work hard and enjoy the beautiful things HE (GOD) has created, self-acclaimed men of which god, I don’t know, keep brainwashing people looking for trends just to cash out from innocent souls… Deh play with Shatta Wale, and one day I will show you all the power I have spiritually. Lazy men!!! #PSALMS35 🩸🙏.”

The controversy has sparked a wider conversation online about the limits of prophetic speech, freedom of religion, and the role of law enforcement in dealing with potentially alarming predictions.
“1Don, don’t be too quick to react. Breathe in and take the right decision. When God reveals, then He has spoiled it. But be cautious.”

“Arrest him for what? He said he had a vision. Did he force the vision?”

Shatta Wale Replaces Sammy Flex
The Ghanaian dancehall musician has undergone a significant overhaul of his management team.
The ‘Ayoo’ hitmaker unveiled a new structure aimed at rejuvenating his brand and increasing his foothold within the music industry.
In a recent Facebook post, the award-winning musician announced this strategic change, which was designed to infuse new energy into the Shatta Movement, a fanbase and brand that has experienced both intense passion and fervour since its inception.
One of the most notable developments was the reassignment of Samuel Atuobi Baah, popularly known as Sammy Flex.
After serving as Shatta Wale’s manager for an extended period, Sammy Flex will now assume the role of Media and Public Relations Manager.
This transition has highlighted a deliberate strategy to enhance Shatta Wale’s public image and media presence, tapping into Sammy Flex’s extensive experience and established credibility in the media industry.
The revitalised management team consisted of both new and returning members, each selected for their expertise in various aspects of Shatta Wale’s brand operations.
This included dedicated roles in road management, personal assistance, booking logistics, merchandising, and music production, ensuring a more organised and professional handling of the artist’s expanding ventures.
This restructuring arrived at a pivotal moment when Shatta Wale appeared to be rebranding and repositioning himself within the competitive landscape of the music industry.
