PENALTY crooner Small Doctor, whose song is one of the biggest this year, has opened up on AFRIMA’s snub of this feat.
Speaking with Showtime, the singer said although he was disappointed about this, he can however not kill himself over it and would rather keep working harder.
“To be nominated and to be appreciated are two different things; for my picture to be on the banners and to have been invited for the awards is enough, because I appreciate every bit of my life. A fall never keeps me down, though this is not a fall; anything goes, nominated or not nominated I’m balling.”
He continued;
“Don’t get it twisted, I don’t mean that being nominated and winning awards doesn’t translate to an achievement; but I won’t kill myself because they refused to nominate me. I just have to work harder while keeping my eye on the prize. There are songs that don’t get nominations but they shut down the show when they are performed at awards; and you will be wondering if the organisers were blind during nominations. Well, I can’t judge them and they can’t judge me as well.”
