My intention was not to compete with Joyce Blessing, don’t create division amongst us – Piesie Esther
Reigning Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Gospel Artiste of the Year, Piesie Esther has broken her silence in the ongoing assertion that she intentionally released her new song to compete with Joyce Blessing.
A section of Ghanaians on social media went hard at her following the release of her new song Mo.
According to them the timing of her song was wrong, because her colleague, Joyce Blessing had also released Victory within the same period and for that reason, she should have waited for some time.
However, speaking on Onua Showtime with Nana Ama McBrown on Sunday, Piesie Esther said her intention was not to compete with Joyce Blessing.
According to her, they are sisters doing the same work for the Kingdom of God, for that reason she believes there is no need to create some division amongst them.
Piesie Esther further stated that she was supposed to release the song earlier than this, as a result when all became set, she did not look at which song was out there ahead of her.
The musician said her intention was to release a song as part of her ministry to project God’s good news, but not compete with anyone.

Osanju is dead
Popular Ghanaian content creator, Elvis Frimpong, known in showbiz circles as Osanju has been reported dead.
According to sources, he was said to have died in the early hours on Monday, September 1, 2025 after a long battle with blood cancer (Leukemia)
His death has been a shock in the Ghanaian community especially coming shortly after his last post.
His demise comes five months after he had laid his mother, Amounu, also a tiktoker, to rest, having lost her in January.
Hours before his passing, he had posted a video on Sunday with friends watching the Barcelona vs. Rayo Vallecano match, prompting many fans to initially dismiss the reports as a hoax.
Osanju’s death has been described as a huge loss by followers who admired his openness, resilience and positive outlook in the face of ill health.
However, Osanju had previously shared his battle with leukemia, a cancer of the blood, on his TikTok account, even eerily predicting his own demise on a couple of occasions.
