In the video, which has resurfaced online, the popular pastor spoke emotionally about the matter and indicated that he had sought legal redress; however, due to financial constraints, the issue went unresolved.
"As I sit here, two pastors threatened me on the phone. I didn't have the financial resources to fight back so the matter didn't go anywhere," he said in the video.
Reverend Major, known for his role on the popular reality show, reportedly passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2025.
The cause of his death remains unclear, though rumours suggest food poisoning may have played a role.

Tributes from fans, colleagues, and followers continue to pour in as the media outlet and the larger Ghanaian community come to terms with the tragic loss.
