Organisers of the scheme released list of nominees on Monday with Shatta Wale’s name conspicuously missing. After the artiste had downplayed the BET snub, Willi Roi posted on Facebook to rationalize the posture of the self-acclaimed dancehall king.
“Shatta wale is about making real money not back stage awards #BETSHAM. No confident act will accept awards back stage. Wake up gh”, his post read.
But KKD in response rubbished the claims and challenged Willio Roi to provide evidence.
“Willi, I know you to be a good artiste, producer and, more importantly, a good man. Name which artiste was presented with an award backstage and in which year. Post the pictures too if you have them. How many times have you been to the Awards? Stop being nasty via acting as though you are helping SW. He is doing great without you and will receive many awards in future because he is a fabulous act too. Let's speak ONLY TRUTH ALWAYS. And let's celebrate any one of us who is honoured. Lies serve no one well. What exactly is your worry? Stop taking the shine away from those who are being honoured. Let's create, not denigrate. Love always,” KKD’s comment read.
It can be recollected that Fuse ODG boycotted the 2015 BET Awards in what they described as a total disrespect to African artists. He lost the award to fellow Ghanaian musician Stormzy in the Best International Act, UK category.
