The Agbeboloo singer said she and her husband were left shocked after receiving disturbing news from the attendant of a studio they own together.
According to her, the attendant discovered 21 white eggs and a calabash filled with grains: beans, rice, millet, maize and groundnuts, placed mysteriously at the entrance of the studio.
“My husband and I own a photo and rehearsal studio. We had a call from the studio attendant one morning in February last year, only to be told that someone has come to put 21 white eggs, a calabash filled with grains (beans, rice, millet, maize, groundnuts). The calabash had a white cloth lining and a piece of paper with our names written on it,” she said.

Celestine explained that the calabash was lined with a white cloth and contained a folded paper with their family names written on it. The discovery, she said, left them deeply unsettled.
She added that the incident occurred early on a Friday morning, a day she finds significant because her husband was born on a Friday.
“Guess what, it was dropped in the early hours of a Friday, knowing that my husband is a Friday born,” she said.
Following the incident, Celestine and her husband sought divine protection through prayer, joining their prayer partners to intercede.
Drawing inspiration from Isaiah 54:17 and Isaiah 7:7, she said the experience led to the creation of her gospel song I Carry Fire.
“We entered prayer with our prayer partners. We used Isaiah 54:17 and Isaiah 7:7 out of which I got the song ‘I Carry Fire,’” she said.
Celestine, who released I Carry Fire ahead of her ninth studio album, further revealed that multiple sources later claimed the black magic was allegedly connected to someone within the gospel music industry.
“We were told from multiple sources that it was coming from someone in our industry,” she added.
The song has since resonated with many gospel music lovers, earning praise for its powerful message of faith and divine protection.
