Eight years of struggle
The My Season singer recounted living with Oware Junior for eight years. He recalls pursuing his passion to become a famous gospel musician amid the difficulties.
''I lived with Oware Junior for eight years. He rented the place and allowed me to live with him. We slept on the same bed, but he had a lady friend who visited him sometimes," he told Delay.

Manasseh Azure recalls humble past
Separately, YEN.com.gh previously reported that Ghanaian journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni recounted his stormy journey to success with six lessons as he began a one-year paid fellowship at Harvard University in the US.
The celebrated media figure recalled his modest but difficult beginning, attributing his elevation from grass to grace to God.
In a Facebook post, the media personality detailed that for someone who could not attend his preferred senior high school due to transportation issues, despite earning a scholarship, receiving two fully-funded admissions into two universities in the United States in 2023 is possibly the delayed miracle he anticipated years ago.
