Ace musician Belinda Ekua Amoah, known by her stage name Mzbel, says it is necessary for musicians to consult deities, mallams, and fetish priests to know the spiritual happenings around them in order to take precautionary steps against them.
According to her, the era has made it necessary for musicians to take their spiritual lives seriously while communicating with nature.
Speaking in a recent interview with an Accra-based radio station, the “16 Years” hitmaker explained that spirituality is a way of life and that it comes with activities that evoke the spirits to work on one’s behalf.
“Consulting Mallams, deities, and fetish priests for spiritual protection as a musician is also part of it, but spirituality is a lifestyle,” she stated.
Mzbel saw no crime in consulting a fetish priest or mallam and termed the act a true African way of life.
She noted that those fetish priests were serving as links and teachers; however, some have succumbed to the hardship and are now using tricks and deceit to extort money, which has tainted their names.
“Unfortunately, some of them have added tricks, fear, and deceit to it, and it’s now nasty, so some of the things they ought to do for you, they want to use a shortcut,” Mzbel noted.
