Highlife musician and Presidential Staffer for the Blackstar Experience, Rex Omar, has descended on prophets who make public predictions about events and people, describing them as ‘charlatans.’

Speaking with George Quaye on Joy Prime, Omar acknowledged that some individuals have the ability to see in different metaphysical frequencies, allowing them to make correct predictions.

He, however, noted that many individuals, especially evangelists and prophets, exaggerate their abilities and tend to speak on what they see without direction from God.

“Most of them exaggerate. No serious prophet will commercialize prophecies. When God shows you things, He is not expecting you to always go out and talk. So when prophets come to sit on television and give prophecy, do you call this a prophet? God does not release messages through charlatans,” he said.

He also referenced the January 31, 2026, New Patriotic Party (NPP) primaries, which saw Dr Mahamudu Bawumia retain his position as the party’s flagbearer.

Prophet Elbernard, who had predicted that Kennedy Agyapong would win the primaries, apologised publicly and took a self-imposed suspension.

Rex Omar lambasted the prophet, saying, “How can you say God told you something and then later you come and say, ‘Oh, I made a mistake.’ So, was it you that made the mistake or the God that you claim showed you that vision?”

“People are taking advantage of other people's ignorance. You cannot come and tell me because you are a prophet; God has told you something about me. The God that indwells me did not tell me, but he told you to come and tell me?”

Rex Omar claimed that such prophets thrive due to people’s ‘fear of the unknown.’

“They take advantage of people's ignorance because 99% of people on planet earth are driven by fear. Fear of failure, fear of death, fear of rejection, disease, and all that.

“So when somebody tells them something, the fear is already there, so they accept and give their power to those people. Instead of surrendering into themselves where God actually lives,” he said.
