I Made It: KobbyBless shares his untold story
He writes
I’ll start from the beginning when I first felt the calling to start my ministry. I remember the excitement and passion that filled my heart as I envisioned reaching people with the Gospel through music. But as time went by, I faced many challenges that made me question if I had made the right choice.
People around me were sceptical of my dreams, and many thought it was just a passing phase. I even faced discouragement from close friends and loved ones who didn’t see the potential in me. There were times when I felt like giving up, but something inside me kept pushing me to soldier on.
One of the toughest challenges I faced was financial. There were days when I had to choose between buying food and investing in my ministry. But I never lost faith in God. I knew that He had called me to this path, and I trusted that He would provide for me.
As I continued to put in the work, I started to gain recognition as an up-and-coming gospel artiste who wrote powerful songs and preached the Word through my music. People started to take notice of my talent, and I felt a sense of validation that I was on the right path.
But even with this success, I still faced obstacles. I put my trust in someone who let me down, and it was a painful experience. However, I learned a valuable lesson: that we should never put our trust in people, but in God alone. He is the only one who will never forsake us.
Through it all, I kept my faith in God and continued to work hard, knowing that He was with me every step of the way. And now, I can say with confidence that I MADE IT by the grace of God. My song, “I Made It,” tells my story and encourages others to keep their faith and trust in God, no matter what they’re going through.
If you’re facing a tough season, know that it won’t last forever. Keep putting in the effort, and let prayer be your fuel on the journey. With God by your side, you can make it through anything.

Foto Copy tackles realities of friendship in new song
Ghana’s decorated young musician, Foto Copy, known in private life as Kallai Nana Qwaachi has tackled the realities of friendship in his new song.
The song tackles issues of conflict, loyalty, reward, ingratitude and betrayal of trust in friendship.
According to him, the song produced by DDT and dubbed “Friends Today, Enemies Tomorrow”, preaches a message that goes to address some realities of life.
He revealed that many best friends some time ago have become bitter enemies now due to similar issues they failed to address.
The musician noted that people have gone all out for others and ensured their friends succeeded, but unfortunately, they paid them back with evil.
Speaking to thespectatoronline.com, Foto Copy said, these things have made people regret going all out for their friends.
He is of the view that when society becomes embittered by the negative actions of their friends, it becomes difficult for others to get help in difficult situations.
Against this backdrop, he felt the need to address this in his new song.
The song is available on all digital music stores

Taste 68@68: Okyeame Kwame wins Celebrity Jollof Competition with Vegan recipe
Multiple award-winning Ghanaian musician and activist, Okyeame Kwame, known in private life as Kwame Nsia-Apau has been adjudged winner of the ‘Taste 68 @68’ Celebrity Jollof Competition.
The ‘Taste 68 @68’ Celebrity Jollof Competition was an event organised by the Ghana Tourism Authority(GTA) as part of activities to mark the country’s Heritage Month recently.
The event held at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park brought together industry players among others.
Okyeame Kwame competed with Mr.Beautiful, Uncle Ato, Victoria Lebene and Joyce Blessing.
The Rap Dacta called his food, the Vegan Jollof funnily some of the spectators claimed his Jollof could ‘lower global warming’ due to the ingredients used.
He used mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, rice, oil and other vegetables.
The protein source was seitan which is made from wheat gluten.
Ultimately, he overcame other culinary skills from his competitors for the ultimate crown.
Okyeame Kwame expressed his appreciation to everyone who tasted it and urged Ghanaians to consider it as part of their delicacies, adding that it is healthier.
The Deputy Chief Executive Officer of GTA Mr.Gilbert Aggrey, affectionately called Abeiku Santana said Okyeame Kwame won the competition not because he is famous and likeable.
According to him, Okyeame understood gastronomy tourism and techniques in culinary artistry, a strength he leveraged against his competitors.
He added that “if you look at the presentation of his meals he used cucumber to garnish his food by creating a design with his initials, OK, Okyeame Kwame. In gastronomy tourism, there should be a story and motivation behind the food that you have prepared.”
Abeiku Santana further noted that Okyeame Kwame’s presentation was outstanding considering how he linked food to climate change and the symbiotic relationship between humans and animals.
He congratulated him for emerging as the winner of the competition.
