DNA & Daddy Owen Condemned For Their Action
Last week Daddy Owen rejected his Kisima Awards Nomination but later reverted it. This morning, however we’ve woken up to news that rapper DNA and the entire Grandpa Records have also rejected their nomination for the awards.
This action by the artistes has not gone down well with Buddha Blaze. The artiste has been going H.A.M. on his Twitter handle since Friday morning after he got wind of Daddy Owen’s withdrawal from the awards. Buddha is of the opinion that any artiste who has been nominated should be humble and accept what comes to them or else they lose all together. “Even if you have won 10 Grammies and your songs used in 10 Oscar winning films, stay humble”, tweeted an agitated Buddha Blaze. The artiste also thinks that declining an award is a show of no gratitude.
Reacting to DNA’s action of releasing a press release withdrawing from the Nominations, this is what Buddha Blaze had to say, “Quite disappointed with artists that would go to extend of writing a press release to decline an award thinking they are bigger than life.” And if you think he was done, think again. Check this: “Funny that artsists refusing awards are associated with making Jesus music who clearly says be humble.”
What’s your take guys? Should artistes reject nominations? Ama this is the new “cool”?
