Ghanaian Actress Mzgee Claims Her Wine Turned Mold as Proof of a Death Prophecy

The Ghanaian entertainment scene has long been a hotbed of drama, but few headlines have captured the public’s imagination as vividly as the latest claims from actress and comedian Mzgee. The 29‑year‑old star—known for her roles in hit series such as “Sankofa” and “The Cursed”—has taken the social‑media world by storm after posting a video in which she alleges that a bottle of wine she bought turned moldy, a phenomenon she attributes to a chilling death prophecy she received from a local spiritualist.

The incident unfolded over the weekend when Mzgee, who has been open about her spiritual beliefs for years, posted a short clip on her Instagram account (link included in the original article). In the video, she shows a half‑full bottle of red wine that had been sealed the day before. “I bought this after the prophet said I was going to die soon,” she says, her voice hushed and tense. “I thought it was a sign—so I checked it again.” She then lifts the bottle to a bright light and pulls out a small patch of white, moldy growth. “This is proof that the prophecy is real,” she asserts.

Mzgee’s claim is not an isolated incident. In a previous interview with a local radio station, the actress had spoken of a “death prophecy” she supposedly received from a charismatic Ghanaian prophet named Ezekiel Kofi—the same figure who has been linked to a number of other high‑profile prophecy claims in the country. According to the linked video (which the article includes for reference), Kofi warned Mzgee that she would die “within the next three months” if she did not heed certain spiritual advice. The actress has also stated that the prophecy came after a private counseling session at Kofi’s compound in Accra.

The Mzgee‑wine episode has ignited a wave of both support and skepticism. On the one hand, many of her fans have rallied to her side, sharing the video on Facebook and Twitter with the caption, “We got this, Mzgee! Stay strong.” One fan even posted a graphic of a wine bottle with a halo, reading, “The Holy Spirit is at work.” On the other hand, skeptics have pointed out the scientific plausibility of mold growth in a warm, humid environment—common conditions in Ghanaian homes during the rainy season. They argue that Mzgee’s claim could be a marketing stunt or an exaggeration.

The article also links to a piece from Yen.com.gh titled “How Mould Can Grow in Wine,” which offers a short scientific explanation for the phenomenon. It notes that if wine is stored at temperatures above 70 °F and exposed to airborne spores, mold can develop on the surface within a day or two. The article further mentions that such mold growth does not necessarily have any mystical implications.

In response to the controversy, Mzgee’s publicist released a brief statement: “Mzgee is a person of faith. She believes in the words of her spiritual guide. She is not endorsing any particular religious doctrine. She is simply sharing her experience.” The statement also reiterated that Mzgee had purchased the wine from a local supermarket and that she had no intention of causing alarm among her fans.

The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the role of prophecy and spirituality in Ghana’s entertainment industry. Several entertainment journalists have pointed out that the country has a long tradition of faith‑based healers and prophets who claim to foresee the future. In recent years, the Ghanaian Ministry of Health has issued a public health advisory warning people to be cautious of unverified medical claims made by spiritualists. Some experts say that such claims can have real‑world consequences—especially if they influence people to forgo medical treatment in favor of spiritual rituals.

In a comment section that the article quotes, a local psychiatrist weighed in on the psychological impact of such prophecies: “When a celebrity publicly endorses a death prophecy, it can induce a self‑fulfilling prophecy in their audience. The fear can become a physical symptom—anxiety, panic attacks, or even changes in physiological conditions.”

As for Mzgee’s next moves, she has hinted in a subsequent Instagram Story that she will be “taking a break” from filming to “deal with this.” She also promised a live Q&A session next week to discuss her experience and answer questions from her fans. Her team is reportedly looking into a potential collaboration with a local NGO that focuses on mental health awareness, perhaps as a way to use her platform to address the fallout from the controversy.

While the wine‑mould incident may seem like another fleeting internet sensation, it taps into deeper cultural currents in Ghana. The intersection of faith, media, and celebrity culture has long produced both drama and dialogue. Whether Mzgee’s wine will indeed serve as a supernatural sign or simply a product of ordinary spoilage remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the actress’s latest claim has put her at the center of a national conversation about belief, evidence, and the power of celebrity influence.
