All over the country, Frank Edwards and Joe Praize are among the top gospel artistes who have become famous that getting them to a programme is a feat. The duo are Christ Embassy members are friends despite the rumours that there is a rivalry between them.
Joe denied fighting Frank “If there is any form of rivalry, I would tell you. If an artiste is doing well, you must appreciate him or her. You must also acknowledge the fact that God has given you a voice that is being heard around the world. If you throw the same question to Frank, he might answer you the way I do.I am not threatened or disturbed by what others do. I celebrate the grace of God upon our lives as singers. The truth is that everyone cannot be the head and everybody cannot be the leg. We are all doing the same work, but using different tools. The fans love us and I am glad for that,” he said.
Joe also said “To be very honest with you, gospel music is so different from any other kinds of music. It is a calling, but it doesn’t mean we do not share the same studios with the secular acts. We also use the same platforms to promote our songs. But we have a different mindset. As a gospel singer, you are after touching lives while the other singers want to make money. But God takes care of us. He ensures that the necessary programmes come our way for us to take care of our logistics. When it comes to gospel music, you must put God first. Of course, if you work for God, God will definitely pay your bills. That is what I hold on to,” he said
