Media personality Arnold Asamoah Baidoo has expressed his views on the presence of black magic (juju) in the film industry.
His comments follow concerns raised by some actors, who claim that the practice has become increasingly common in recent times.
Recently, actors like Portia Asare and Kalybos, among others, have shared their personal experiences on the matter.
This sparked debates on social media, with people either supporting or questioning the validity of these claims.
However, during a discussion on United Showbiz, Arnold Asamoah Baidoo suggested that the belief in ‘juju’ within the film industry may be largely psychological.
He noted that the issue is so perplexing that even actors themselves are divided on the matter.
“I’m always confused about discussions about Juju because industry players that are said to be experiencing it are divided over it. I’ve heard LilWin say there’s no juju in the industry. I’ve also seen Yvonne share her experience about being struck with eye problems on set while shooting Abdul Salam Mumuni’s ‘Material Girl’.
“Yvonne said the problem only cleared when she prayed and that she was certain that someone tried to kill her with juju. Kalybos also shared his experience of being a victim of juju. But I think this whole thing is psychological more often than not,” he stated.
He continued, “The mind is huge, so when it connects to something, it becomes their reality. I am not saying these people are lying. But, for instance, in the case of Yvonne, it could even be a defect or an infection in the eye. Because her mind is tuned to the possibility of being hit by Juju, it becomes her reality.
“Kalybos’ car also might be faulty, but because his mind is fixed on the threats he received on set, he might think it’s some juju at play.”
Arnold pointed out that some actors, such as Fiifi Coleman, believe it is merely propaganda.
“Fiifi Coleman thinks this whole misconception about Juju is just propaganda. so even within their circle, not all of them believe in it,” he added.
