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 on Tuesday, 22 July 2025, 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 Shatta Wale 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 one 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 follow-up post, the outspoken artiste criticised Ghanaian pastors for misleading citizens for financial gain, accusing them of exploiting religion instead of genuinely 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.
