Media personality Blakk Rasta has asserted that the camp of Ghana’s Black Stars has some form of spiritual element backing the players everywhere they go.
According to the 3FM presenter, on no occasion does the team go into the field of play without fortifying themselves spiritually – be it with a charm or a religiously.
Blakk Rasta made this unsurprising claim when a listener of his Taxi Driver drive time show sent in a text to confirm this circulating rumour.

In his response, the controversial journalist said the Black Stars camp “over the past few years always has a juju man on one side or a certain Christian spiritualist, or a certain Muslim spiritualist”.

It would be recalled that the captain of the Black Stars, Andre Dede Ayew was captured in a viral video sprinkling a white substance on the field before one of Ghana’s crucial matches in the 2021 AFCON.
Before sprinkling the powder on the field, Dede Ayew appeared to recite some incantations on the touchline before running into the field.

The video triggered a hullaballoo on social media about the team’s alleged use of fetish in their camp after an abysmal performance and embarrassing exit from the 2022 AFCON in Cameroon.
Captain Smart, a broadcast journalist with Media General, even went as far as to allege that midfielder Thomas Partey threatened to leave camp after a senior player came with a ‘juju man’ to the camp.
According to him, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) pleaded with Partey to rescind his decision to quit the team for good because of the bad experience he encountered.
