The hitmaker of "Yesu Do," Noble Nketsiah, shared some challenges he faced when he became famous in the showbiz industry.

Speaking in an interview with Emelia Brobbey on the Okukuseku Show, the gospel singer narrated how he was almost poisoned when he gained traction in the industry.

Recounting how the incident happened, he said he travelled for a show in Obuasi in the Ashanti Region, but he passed through a radio station for an interview.

He added that the interview included other artistes from the gospel fraternity, but his presence was only recognized by callers to the show who demanded to speak with him.

Little did he know that the callers' demands bred hatred among his colleagues towards him.

“I went for a programme in Obuasi. Before that programme, I went for an interview at Obuasi, and at that time, I was very popular, so anyone who called while the show was going on wanted to speak with me. Also, I was at the radio station with my other colleagues in the industry, who got jealous because the callers didn’t recognise their presence,” he told the host.

He further said that he went back to where he was lodging and ordered a meal.

He later heard an uproar outside his room and stepped out to find out what caused it, only to be told that a stranger had discarded his food.

The gospel singer revealed that amidst the uproar, he noticed that the colour of his food had changed, prompting him to believe that his food was poisoned and that the stranger had saved him.

“I went back to my hotel to prepare for the programme that made me travel to Obuasi. I ordered food before going to freshen up. I was in the bathroom when I heard noises in the hotel’s parlour. I went out to find out what was happening. Not knowing, a mentally ill person had entered the hotel and poured the food I ordered away. Amidst the commotion, the colour of my food changed. My food was poisoned,” he added.
