Gospel singer Joe mettle has declared the popularity of his award-winning worship song,’ Bo N? Ni’ cannot match Patience Nyarko’s hit song, ‘Obi Nnyane me’ that was nominated for best gospel song of the year at the recently held Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).
Speaking to Power 97.9 FM drive time host, Agyeman Prempeh (Agyengo) after the award ceremony, the VGMA 2017 Artiste of the year conceded the songstress’ track which competed with his for the gospel song of the year was ahead of his song that won the award.
He however added that his fans might have voted massively for his ‘Boo noni’ song which earned him the award.
“Both songs were popular am not going to lie about that but I feel her song was a little bit popular than mine. I mean just like the other categories every song in there deserved to be there,” he declared
“I feel my fans really voted for me because when I was nominated I put it out there and the massive support from my listeners and followers made me win the award,” said Joe Mettle who won the Gospel Artiste of the year last Saturday.
When asked how he felt on the night of the awards as the overall artiste of the year in the previous year, Mr Mettle said: “I didn’t feel anything; I always say that once you are nominated, you stand the chance of winning like any other person in that category, and anyone deserves to win if you are nominated. I feel everyone in that category did well that’s how I saw things.”
Here is the list of winners:

Bill Gates is worth an astounding $81.6 billion and he keeps getting richer every year. His secret weapon is a man you have probably never heard of: Michael Larson. Gates hired Larson 20 years ago, when his net worth was a relatively paltry $5 billion, report Anupreeta Das and Craig Karmin at the Wall Street Journal, who just wrote a profile on the notoriously secretive Larson . Larson runs Gates' personal investment company Cascade Investment LLC, funded solely by Gates. At one time, Gates' wealth depended solely on Microsoft. But for years he's been selling off his Microsoft stake. The common perception is that he's been using the proceeds from those sales directly for charity. That's not entirely how it works. Although Gates makes his own investments in tech, it is Larson, through Cascade, who has taken Gate's money and diversified it. Gates now has vast holdings in real estate and nontech companies like the Canadian National Railway Co., Au...

Sir Elton John and David Furnish have accepted "significant" libel damages over an newspaper allegation that their dog inflicted "Freddy Krueger-like" injuries on a child at a play date. The couple brought proceedings against News Group Newspapers over a front page story in The Sun on Sunday in February. Their solicitor said the injuries were not serious and that the allegation was "false and seriously defamatory". Neither Sir Elton nor Furnish were at London's High Court on Friday. The Sun's story, captioned Elton's Dog Did This To My Girl, reported that Sir Elton's spaniel bit a five-year-old girl at the singer's Berkshire home in February 2016. Solicitor Jenny Afia said the story had claimed the child had been "subjected to a serious attack" and that Sir Elton and Furnish had "failed to make any attempt to find out how the little girl was... despite being aware of the incident." "The ...
