Rising gospel musician Julius Dacosta, known in the showbiz circles as Mighty J, has confirmed that musicians have been using many dubious means and rituals to blow in the industry.
According to him, he tried using the same strategy during his days as a secular musician for him to get a hit song.
Speaking in an interview with Max Morning Show in Accra on Friday, the “Overload” hitmaker indicated the rumors that had sparked debate on social media and various homes for several years were true.
He disclosed that many musicians had been visiting mallams and priests to gain spiritual backing for their music to blow in the industry, which many had excelled in.
For Mighty J, his own did not work, as the four priests he visited all said the same thing: he should abandon the secular music to do God’s work.
“I went to several mallams for hit songs, and all the four mallams I visited in their shrines gave me the same message that I should forget the secular music to follow and do God’s work.”
It happened when the rituals demanded that I send a fowl to the shrine. After cutting the fowl, it dies right away, but the ritual requires the fowl to shake its wings and legs in the air as a sign that the ritual will work, but if the fowl dies right away, it means that it will not work,” he narrated.
Mighty J said that still did not deter him; he went ahead to sing his secular music, which yielded no fruit until God touched him in 2012 to follow him to do his work.
