The single comes in two versions—”W’aseda High Life” and “W’aseda Worship”—catering to different musical tastes but sharing the same message of thankfulness.
In addition to “W’aseda,” MBA’s seven-track EP includes “AYEYI NDWOM” featuring Harry Fiscian and “OHENE BEN” featuring Oheneba Clement, among others, all of which celebrate God’s providence and might.
Aside from his music, Minister MBA is also dedicated to his “Giving Back – Health Awareness and Advocacy” project, where he partners with health specialists to raise awareness about liver disease.
This initiative, influenced by his own healing, aims to reach people through outreach programmes in churches, fitness clubs, and marketplaces.

– Rescue individuals trapped in drug addiction
– Guide them towards a path of redemption and restoration
– Introduce them to the liberating power of Jesus Christ
– And Empower them to embrace a new life of purpose and hope
