Prophet Mensah has threatened to impose "total poverty" on Ghanaian musician Sarkodie unless he apologizes for his cryptic post titled "Back to Gari soakings," which is interpreted as a barb at President Mahama's victorious comeback.
Following President
Mahama's inauguration, Sarkodie posted on Instagram, "Back to Gari
soakings like we never left," which caused uproar.
In a widely shared
video, the prophet is seen boiling a concoction of herbs in a rubber bucket
over a fire and threatening to put Sarkodie and his family in "total
poverty" if the rapper doesn't issue an apology within the allotted time.
Ghanaians have
reacted negatively to Sarkodie's social media post, which is generally seen as
a swipe at the president and the New Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
Despite his outspoken criticism of corruption and the energy crisis during
Mahama's previous presidency from 2012 to 2016, critics point to his silence
during former President Akufo-Addo's administration.
Amid persistent
claims that Sarkodie covertly backs the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Prophet
Mensah issued his scathing injunction. These rumors were further stoked by his
2020 duet with Kuami Eugene, "Happy Day," which made allusion to
then-president Akufo-Addo.
Together with Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang, the first female
president of Ghana, President Mahama, the country's 14th president, made a
historic political comeback by winning a landslide victory in the December 7,
2024, elections.
