A Ghanaian prophet, Prophet Mensah, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie to apologise to President John Dramani Mahama over a recent comment he made.

Sarkodie, who many said had been silent and refused to criticise the previous government led by President Akufo-Addo, suddenly found his voice when John Dramani Mahama was elected President.

Prophet Mensah reacts to Sarkodie's "gari soakings" comment

Despite the various justifications, Prophet Mensah strongly believes that Sarkodie's message was directed at President John Dramani Mahama.

He deems the comment disrespectful and has asked the rapper to apologise or face his wrath.

In a video, the prophet was seen boiling a mixture of herbs in a rubber bucket over a fire, declaring that he would use the fire demonstration to cast extreme poverty upon Sarkodie and his family if he failed to apologise to the President.

He's not a true prophet

Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, Entertainment Analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his views on the matter.

"I don't think he is a Christian Prophet because a Preacher would have been able to discern that Sarkodie wasn't talking about the President. Acts like these shouldn't be encouraged as they shake the very foundation Christianity is built on. These days, people can't talk about Prophets out of fear of being cursed."

Netizens divided over Prophet Mensah's Sarkodie threat

Netizens who saw the post about Prophet Mensah's comment were divided in the comments section. While some supported his actions, others were unhappy with him.

"Sarkodie should just advise himself and stay very far away from all political issues for now. He stayed quiet for 8 years and as a matter of principle, he should remain quiet. The atmosphere ain’t great for him. He should watch his steps."
