Some prophets, both home and abroad, are claiming credit for predicting the sudden demise of the popular dancehall artiste.

He said the self-styled prophets due to their quest for money use psychology to win church members.
“There are fake prophets even in the Bible so I’m not surprised some prophets are claiming credit for Ebony’s death”, the NDC man stressed.
