Black Prophet shockingly reveals what he will do if he stumbles on another man in bed with his wife
Renowned Ghanaian musician, Black Prophet has shockingly revealed what he would do should he stumble on another man in bed with his wife.
According to him, when he meets another man in bed, the man will automatically become part of the family.
Black Prophet believes that such a situation gives one an opportunity to reflect deeper.
Speaking to Hitz FM’s DJ Slim on Monday’s edition of Showbiz Review, he said to meet a woman in that situation means she is not yours, and has made a choice.
“Your woman is not your slave, she does not belong to you, she has made her choice, and you should respect people when they make their choices, and you should look at life and be grateful for it,” Black Prophet shockingly revealed.
He added, “I will close the door, cook and invite them to join me after having fun because we have become family, we share the same roof, that’s when you ‘overstand’ rather than just to understand, it gives you a bigger heart to think.”
According to him, it depends on how people look at things, adding that people have been taught to just look at things and understand, but he always wants to go beyond what everyone sees.

Ghanaian screenwriter Gamel Apalayine selected for AuthenticA Series Lab
Ghanaian filmmaker and screenwriter, Gamel Apalayine has been selected as one of four African writers for the fourth edition of the AuthenticA Series Lab.
The AuthenticA Series Lab is a highly regarded programme dedicated to shaping the next wave of African screenwriting talent run by Realness Institute in partnership with The StoryBoard Collective and the Canada Media Fund.
Gamel joins a distinguished cohort of storytellers from Nigeria, Kenya, and Egypt who will take part in the six-month long lab designed to elevate African voices on to the global stage.
The AuthenticA programme begins with a residency in the Western Cape, South Africa in September, followed by online sessions until mid-December.
A second residency takes place in Geneva, Switzerland from January – March 2026, with a final residency in Lille in March where the participants will pitch their projects as part of the African Series Pitch at Series Mania Forum to international industry players.
Gamel is no stranger to shaping some of Africa’s most compelling screen moments. He served as Head Writer on Akwaaba Magic’s hit TV drama DEDE (spanning two seasons and 560 episodes) and was a principal writer on Ghana’s first Showmax Original Series ENO, produced by Sparrow Studios.
Beyond television, he recently co-adapted Africa Arts Networks Production of HONEYMOON HOTEL staged at the National Theatre of Ghana, and through his creative company Whistling Rocks, is developing a bold slate of projects across film, television, theatre, and music.
Looking ahead, Gamel will take his creative mission even further when he begins an MFA in Film at the esteemed Columbia University’s School of the Arts in New York City in 2026, a move that places him squarely at the intersection of African storytelling and global cinema.
The AuthenticA Series Lab provides participants with the tools to bring their stories to life at an international standard, producing a pitch deck, pilot scripts, and series bibles that can attract funding and production support worldwide.
The lab will be led by Mehret Mandefro, interim Managing Director of the Realness Institute, with Director of Writing Programmes, Selina Ukwuoma.
For Gamel, the opportunity represents a chance to carry Ghanaian and African narratives to global audiences. His track record of storytelling positions him as a vital voice in the future of African film and television.
