With the popularity, acceptance and rave that accompanied the release of
Small Doctor’s 2016 hit song, ‘Penalty’, one would want to assume with
all certainty that he’s a sure candidate for award nominations in 2017;
but that is far from being the case.On the heels of the just concluded All Africa Music Awards, AFRIMA, the
self styled ‘king of the streets’ has expressed indifference on his
inability to secure a nomination at the prestigious awards.
Speaking to Showtime in an exclusive chat he noted that being nominated
or not for an award of AFRIMA’s pedigree is not a big deal as long as he
is still making waves as a musician.
“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 said.
Speaking further, he averred that the least he could do is to up his
ante in readiness for future awards because he can’t commit suicide
because he wasn’t nominated for the AFRIMA awards.
“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”, he mused.
