I Won’t Kill Myself Over AFRIMA Snub – Small Doctor

Street pop king, Small Doctor was expected to be among the nominees at the recently held AFRIMA 2017 Awards, especially for his commercially successful song titled “Penalty.” However, the singer was not nominated and it sparked a major conversation amongst fans.

The singer has now come out to address the issue in his recent interview with Showtime, where he said that being nominated or not at the awards 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 bragged.

In addition to that, Small Doctor said that he only has to work harder while keeping his eye on the prize.

“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 added.
