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.

Ghanaian rapper Medikal has praised fellow musician Black Sherif for winning the Artist of the Year award at the Telecel Ghana music awards, describing the recognition as well deserved.
Speaking on Onua Showtime on Sunday, Medikal explained that Black Sherif’s music reflects struggle, hard work and street life, which many people can relate to.
According to him, Black Sherif, popularly known as “Blacko,” earned the award because his songs connect strongly with the public.
“Obviously, if you listen to Blacko’s songs from day one, you will see that the content and lyrics are all about struggle and making it in life,” he stated.
He noted that Black Sherif’s journey from the streets to success makes his achievement inspiring to many young people.
Medikal added that he would have been happy if he had won the award himself, but he was equally happy for Black Sherif because he deserved it.
The rapper explained that his reaction during the awards event, where he nodded and applauded after the announcement, was a genuine show of support for his colleague.
He stressed that popular street songs often influence major award decisions, especially when people from different backgrounds sing and embrace the music.
According to him, Black Sherif’s hit songs became widely accepted by children, adults and even people at social gatherings and funerals, showing the level of influence he has gained.
“The street controls the song,” Medikal remarked, adding that an artiste who dominates the streets has a strong chance of winning major awards.
He further noted that he was not surprised by Black Sherif’s victory because every category Medikal himself was nominated in was highly competitive.
