Praise Reloaded: Joe Mettle to rock El-Wak Sports Stadium on June 29
Believers will have an unforgettable time of worship at this year’s Praise Reloaded by Joe Mettle, slated for the El-Wak Sports Stadium on June 29, 2025.
This year happens to be the 14th edition since the inception of Praise Reloaded.
This edition, with the theme ‘Festival of Gratitude,’ will see Ntokozo Mbambo, Nathaniel Bassey, and Akesse Brempong team up with Joe Mettle to lead the gathering for ‘Thanksgiving’.
Speaking at the launch, which took place at the Palms by Eagle Hotel in Accra last Friday, Joe Mettle said, the last edition was held at a bigger venue, the Accra Sports Stadium, but unfortunately, due to restrictions on the use of the pitch for concerts, they could not secure it.
Against this backdrop, the team explored other options and settled on the El-Wak Sports Stadium for an awesome atmosphere.
He said, there are some other gospel musicians and Men of God who would be announced ahead of the main event on June 29.
Additionally, Joe Mettle revealed that God laid on his heart to make this year’s event free for patrons, and urged them to come with an expectant heart to enter into an atmosphere of breakthrough.
Akesse Brempong, on his part, said he was optimistic that God will do something remarkable in the lives of patrons

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.
