At that time, it was a lawsuit brought against him by former Liberian Cultural Ambassador, Julie Endee but left without being sent to jail. “Prophet Key” Escapes The Wrath Of Protesting Women On The Grounds Of Monrovia Court – News Public Trust

But some two years on, the abusive the Supreme Court of Liberia today, Friday, February 13, 2026 sentenced Prophet Key to six months in prison after he was found guilty of using abusive and offensive language against Liberian citizens.

He appeared before the country’s highest court when the ruling was handed down by the full bench of the Supreme Court earlier today, Friday, February 13, 2026.

The contempt charges against the controversial social media figure stemmed from his online statements verbally attacking Chief Justice Yarmin Quiqui Gbeisay and his mother. In addition to that, Prophet Key accused the Supreme Court of corruption.

In addition to the jail term, the Supreme Court ordered Prophet Key to publish a formal apology to the court and Liberian women for five consecutive days.

In further penalty, the court has directed the controversial social media figure to file a bond committing never again to use invectives or inflammatory language that violate the nation’s values.

In its ruling, the high court said Prophet Key’s actions are contemptuous and damaging to the integrity of the judiciary, something that warrants a ‘custodial sentence’.

Before Friday’s jail sentence, Prophet Key was summoned by the Supreme Court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt for publicly ridiculing the high Court.
