Ghanaian gospel artiste Joseph Oscar Mettle has revealed how sickness landed him at shrines when he was a child.<\/p>\n
According to the \u2018Bo Noo Ni\u2019 singer, his parents had to take him to several shrines to cure him of a sickness which nearly took his life when he was very young.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey took me to the shrines to get a cure for my sickness but I was not cured. They cut portions on my cheeks and put in some herbs. After the first cut on one side of my cheeks, I wasn\u2019t healed so the priest had to cut the other side,\u201d he said in an interview with Celebrity Ride with Zionfelix.<\/p>\n
Joe however stated that he got his healing from the \u2018Christian God\u2019 after the attempts by the traditional priests to cure him proved futile. He said after age 4 he has not been seriously sick again.<\/p>\n
He explained that the cuts are the reason for the marks on his cheeks; they are not tribal marks.<\/p>\n
Joe Mettle won the Artiste of the Year award over Medikal, Stonebwoy, MzVee, Sarkodie and E.L. in the 2017 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.<\/p>\n
Joe Mettle, a former lead singer of the Soul Winners gospel music group, has since he went solo produced mega hits like \u2018Akokyem Nyame,\u2019 \u2018Medo Wo,\u2019 \u2018Ayeyi Nnwom,\u2019 \u2018Jehovah Praise,\u2019 \u2018Onwanwani,\u2019 and the current hit song \u2018Bo Noo Ni.\u2019<\/p>\n
