Earlier in the month one pastor in Ghana made a prophesy that Dancehall music star Shatta Wale will die and the prophecy shook the entire social media when the cleric announced earlier in the month that the singer would die on December 24th, 2018.
Most of his fans had been eagerly waiting for the doomsday to confirm if the singer would actually give up the ghost or survive. It is the 26th of December and it all seemed to be a fake prophecy after-all. Shatta Wale who had been silent since the latest death prophecy, then immediately spoke out after realizing he had survived the day he was supposed to die.
He took to his Facebook page to give his reaction:
