In a jaw-dropping interview with Sammy Kay released on February 27, 2025, Ghanaian musician Agbeshie, born Frank Agbeshie Lawstand, laid bare a chilling experience that has sent ripples through the Ghanaian music scene.
The “Wrowroho” hitmaker claimed that a juju, traditional spiritual power, intended to paralyze a popular Ghanaian female musician had backfired, leaving him as the unintended victim.
His candid testimony not only exposes the dark underbelly of the music industry but also reignites long-standing conversations about the role of mysticism in Ghana’s entertainment world.
Agbeshie, speaking with a mix of disbelief and resignation, recounted the harrowing ordeal. “There’s a strong juju in the music industry of Ghana,” he asserted, setting the stage for a story that sounds like something out of a Nollywood script.
According to the artist, an unnamed rival had allegedly deployed spiritual forces to sabotage a prominent female colleague, an act he believes is not uncommon in the competitive landscape of Ghanaian music.
However, in a twist of fate, the spell missed its target and struck him instead, leaving him temporarily paralyzed.
While Agbeshie didn’t name the intended target or the mastermind behind the juju, his account paints a vivid picture of an industry where talent and hard work sometimes take a backseat to supernatural warfare.
The musician’s revelation taps into a broader narrative about juju in Ghana’s entertainment sphere. For years, artists like Skrewfaze and Nyamedie have hinted at the pervasive use of black magic to gain fame, sabotage rivals, or secure success.
Agbeshie’s story adds a personal layer to these claims, suggesting that even those uninvolved in such practices can become collateral damage. “I wasn’t even in the fight,” he lamented, underscoring the unpredictable nature of these alleged spiritual attacks.
In Ghana, belief in juju—often linked to traditional spiritual practices, remains deeply ingrained, despite the country’s strong Christian and Muslim influences. The music industry, with its high stakes and public rivalries, has long been fertile ground for such tales.
Agbeshie’s experience echoes sentiments from peers who’ve described eerie encounters, like Skrewfaze’s accounts of witnessing rituals at cemeteries—or blamed career setbacks on hexes. Yet, his case stands out for its specificity: a misfired spell with a tangible, physical impact.
The artist, known for hits like “Duna” and his collaboration with Medikal on “Wrowroho,” didn’t shy away from calling out the industry’s darker side. “People think it’s just music, but there’s a war going on behind the scenes,” he said. His words hint at a culture where envy and ambition fuel not just lyrical battles but metaphysical ones too.
While he refrained from pointing fingers, the implication is clear: someone in the industry, perhaps threatened by the unnamed female star’s success, went to extreme lengths to bring her down.
