You got it wrong – Kumchacha slams Ogyaba for cursing United Showbiz panelist

A public rebuke has emerged within Ghana’s religious and entertainment circles as Prophet Kumchacha firmly criticized Prophet Ogyaba for raining curses on United Showbiz panelist Baaba Cann. This latest development adds a complex layer to an already volatile dispute, shifting the public focus from the initial allegations to the conduct, accountability, and media literacy of the religious figures involved. The confrontation highlights the growing friction between spiritual authority and the rigorous, often unforgiving, nature of modern broadcast journalism.

The intersection of religious leadership and entertainment media in Ghana frequently produces high-stakes public confrontations. When sensitive allegations are raised on popular talk shows, the foundational expectation is that the accused will respond with measured, factual rebuttals or seek formal legal redress. However, the recent trend of deploying spiritual curses as a primary defense mechanism has drawn increasing scrutiny from both the public and fellow clergy. This approach not only polarizes public opinion but also risks undermining the moral authority of the clergy, as audiences begin to question whether such reactions are driven by righteous defense or an inability to engage with secular media platforms constructively and factually.

The controversy originated during a recent broadcast of United Showbiz, where the panel was primarily discussing issues surrounding Bishop Daniel Obinim and Ohemaa Dynamite. During this broader conversation, entertainment pundit Baaba Cann briefly referenced the threesome allegations that had recently been leveled against Prophet Ogyaba. In response, Ogyaba released a video expressing profound disappointment in the entire panel and proceeded to pronounce curses on Baaba Cann, accusing her of making baseless claims without evidence. Prophet Kumchacha, who was also a guest on the program, swiftly countered this narrative in a video shared on November 10, 2026. He clarified that Ogyaba was not the central subject of the discussion and that he had deliberately refrained from validating the allegations due to a complete lack of personal knowledge or substantiating proof.

Articulating his dissent with clarity, Prophet Kumchacha challenged the sweeping nature of Ogyaba’s condemnation. “Ogyaba has commented that he is disappointed in everyone on the show. I respect you too much, but if you make such a statement, I do not agree with you,” Kumchacha stated. He provided a detailed account of the broadcast, noting that the conversation had only shifted to Ogyaba when Baaba Cann interjected with the issue. “She even asked me if I had heard about what was going on with you. I made her understand that I didn’t know anything and that I also didn’t have any evidence,” he explained.

Furthermore, Kumchacha highlighted that the show’s host, Empress Gifty, had actively defended Ogyaba during the segment by pointing out Baaba Cann’s lack of proof. “Even the host, Empress Gifty, told Baaba that she didn’t have any evidence. Empress even supported you. So, if you say you are disappointed in us, I don’t agree with you,” he asserted. Concluding his message, Kumchacha advised Ogyaba to review the full footage of the program before issuing further public condemnations, stating, “I don’t have any problem if you have anything to do with Baaba Cann. But you cannot come out and say you are disappointed in us. I would advise you to go back and watch the entire video before making any statement.”

This public correction by Prophet Kumchacha serves as a critical intervention in a rapidly escalating media feud. It highlights the inherent dangers of reactionary responses in the digital age, where a cursory understanding of a broadcast can lead to disproportionate and damaging retaliatory actions. By urging a return to the full context of the discussion, Kumchacha has effectively shifted the burden of proof back onto Ogyaba, demanding a more measured and fact-based approach to conflict resolution. Ultimately, this episode underscores the necessity for public figures, particularly those in spiritual leadership, to exercise restraint and due diligence. Preserving the integrity of public discourse requires that grievances be addressed with precision and evidence, rather than through blanket condemnations and spiritual intimidation that only serve to deepen societal divisions and erode public trust.
