Ghanaian Gospel artiste Joe Mettle faced a moment of surprise and concern when he was awarded a sword for being the Artiste of the Year at the Praise Achievement Awards Night in Accra on Sunday, December 17, 2023. 

Joe, known for his caring nature, worried about where to keep the sharp-pointed sword at home, especially with his two-year-old daughter, Ariana Mettle, around. Expressing a laugh-cry expression, he shared his dilemma, saying, “I’m wondering where to put this since I have my two years old… She will go and take it.”

Despite the worry, Joe Mettle graciously thanked the Praise Achievement Awards Team for the honor, emphasizing that he does not take it for granted. In addition to the Artiste of the Year award, he also received The Worship Artiste of the Year Award, the Male Artiste of the year and the Song of the Year Award for “Kadosh.”

Joe Mettle’s impact on the Ghanaian Gospel scene and beyond is significant. He, along with his supportive team, Love Gift Band, played a vital role in putting Ghana on the global map. His powerful albums and singles have touched many lives, and he made history as the first Gospel artiste  to win the esteemed Artiste of the Year award at the Ghana Music Awards in 2017. Joe has attained numerous awards in Ghana and internationally, performing alongside renowned Gospel ministers such as Donnie McClurkin, Nathaniel Bassey, Dunsin Oyekan, Nkotozo Mbambo, and more. 

Joe Mettle is an example of God’s blessings to men!
