John Paintsil performs a touching gospel song
In a video shared on TikTok and sighted by YEN.com.gh, the 44-year-old was captured singing Maame Esther Nyamekye’s 2003 gospel hit, Ode Yen Ko Sie.
With eyes partly closed and hand gesticulations, Paintsil appeared completely absorbed in the moment, honouring his Maker in song.
Known to be a devout Christian, this wasn’t the first time the ex-Fulham and West Ham fullback had shared his faith publicly.
But this particular moment stood out for both its sincerity and setting.
Fans moved by Paintsil's warm worship
Viewers online were quick to shower Paintsil with admiration—not just for his vocals, but for the ambience in which the worship took place. Comments from TikTok poured in:

A sneak peek at Paintsil's home interior
As the gospel tune rang out, what also captured attention was the elegant interior of Paintsil’s home.
The spacious hall featured a sleek POP ceiling design, pristine tiled floors, and tasteful décor, including a large television, a cosy sofa set, and a touch of greenery courtesy of a neatly placed artificial plant.
John Paintsil’s present-day luxury is a far cry from his early years. Born into a struggling home, the journey to football stardom wasn’t an easy ride.
“It was incredibly challenging to pay school fees, find opportunities to play football, and even get football boots,” he once shared, speaking to Ghanasoccernet.
But against the odds, he broke through.
From dusty pitches to World Cup stadiums, Paintsil rose to become a fixture in the Ghanaian national team, earning 83 caps, according to Transfermarkt.
