After treating Ghanaians with the release of some of the best hiplife songs, OJ Blaq has shunned secular music for gospel.<\/p>\n

Speaking on \u2018Celebrity Radar\u2019 on Citi FM on Monday, OJ said the move to do gospel music is based on his encounter with God.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel his presence and my wish is that everyone will feel it too. Because he\u2019s done a lot and I\u2019ve gone through a lot.\u201d<\/em> He told host, Kwame Dadzie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was however hopeful that his new song will pave the way for more spiritual and inspirational songs as he embarks on a crusade to win souls for God.<\/p>\n

The Ghana ‘Rick Ross’ however noted that secular artistes are not evil even though he said he would not record secular songs again.<\/p>\n

According to him, he believes he has a new calling now, hence his new decision to do solely Gospel.<\/p>\n

Few years ago, OJ Blaq was down with kidney failure but according to him God miraculously healed him and that he has now become stronger than before.<\/p>\n

Asked what could have contributed to his sickness, the \u2018Ghana Rick Ross\u2019 said it was bad lifestyle practices.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not hypertensive, I was not diabetic but I\u2019ll say it\u2019s lifestyle. Too much alcohol, smoking, meat and all that lifestyle did not help. And what I have understood is that wherever you are weak that\u2019s where Satan uses to attack you,\u201d<\/em> he revealed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OJ is lover of hockey and an ambassador for COA FS; an immune-boosting drug.<\/p>\n

The former Lynx Entertainment artiste now works under OMG (Orakle Music Group) as an artist and owner. Under OMG are a few new acts doing Urban Gospel for the propagation of the Word of Christ.<\/p>\n

He is credited with songs like; \u2018Chalewote\u2018, \u2018Target\u2019, \u2018Mewo Mmaa\u2018, among others.<\/p>\n

Enjoy his Gospel song, ‘His Presence’ below;<\/h3>\n
