Okomfo Black, son of musician Mzbel has in a recent interview, indicated that his choice of religion appears to have thrown challenges his way.

In a community where Christianity and Islam are the predominant religion, Okomfo Black and his family say they hold on firmly to their traditional and ancestral worship.

In the interview, Okomfo Black challenged the existence of the Almighty God, arguing that every being is a god hence no special recognition must be given to any supreme ruler.

His comments did not auger well with conservative Ghanaians, for which many parents of his schoolmates are taking steps to sideline him.

His other, Mzbel revealed this unfortunate development in a post on Facebook.

A Facebook user had written that “after the spectacular and ear-catching interview of #okomfoblack, at his age and the in-depth knowledge he has about our ancestors, at school and his neighbourhood, I know the African Ghanaian Christians will start advising their children never to make him their friend, but the good thing is that the gods and the ancestors got your back always champion.”

In response, Mzbel said the challenging situation is already happening to his son at school.

Though she did not elaborate on the exact treatment meted out to her son, she said some parents have strictly advised their children not to associate with Okomfo Black over fears he will dilute their Christian beliefs.

However, Mzbel said she is not negatively affected by the unfair move, rather, she is happy he understands his ancestral practices and beliefs.

In an Instagram post, she wrote "YES! We don’t believe in the existence of an Almighty God, because we know that everything or anything that has life no matter how big or small is a God, that is why when we pour libation (Pray) we acknowledge and honour all those energies (God). Our ancestors are dead but their blood and spirit runs through us, we are their DNA so we honour them too."
