Singer Bahati was rejected by Groove Awards and now it’s time to return the favor.<\/p>\n

The singer has rejected the nominations he goot from the Awards saying he’s not interested.\u00a0Bahati has been nominated in the song of the year and Collabo of the year categories.<\/p>\n

\u201cI BEG TO STEP DOWN IN THIS YEARS GROOVE AWARDS. Thank you for honouring Me as Bahati & EMB with Various Award Nominations but I humbly request the Public to Support the rest of the nominees as We all Know my desire to Support New Artists since Day 1.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 part of the statement read.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Awa<\/p>\n

Not this time<\/h3>\n

Unlike Bahati, Willy Paul was glad he was nominated and asked fans to vote for him. Bahati doesn’t want much association with Groove awards.<\/p>\n

\u201c My last participation in Groove was in 2015 and I thank God for Favouring me with 4 major Awards including the Male Artist of the Year and I believe it’s Time for another New Talent to be Awarded as I work, Push & Pray to God that we will bring a Continental Award in Kenya Soon; A BET, a Grammy Maybe. Again Congratulations to all Nominees- But Kwa Sasa We Looking Forward to Fill 4 More Stadiums for God’s Glory\u00a0#EMBTOUR<\/a>\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n
