Awards are plastic things bought from China to boost ego - Omar Sterling
R2Bees member Omar Sterling has sparked a heated debate in the music industry with his recent comments on awards.
In an interview, the rapper shared his thoughts on the emphasis placed on awards, calling them “an illusion” and “plastic things” that can lead to ego boosters.
According to Sterling, the pursuit of awards can be harmful, as it can lead artists to prioritize recognition over their craft. He emphasized that true fulfillment in music comes from creating meaningful work, not from winning awards.
Sterling’s comments have drawn both support and criticism from the music community. Some have praised his honesty and encouraged artists to focus on their art, while others have defended the importance of awards in recognizing talent and hard work.
Despite the backlash, Sterling remains unapologetic about his views. His stance has sparked a necessary conversation about the role of awards in the music industry and the true measures of success.
With this controversy, Omar Sterling has cemented his reputation as a thought leader in the Ghanaian music scene, unafraid to speak his mind and challenge the status quo. Love him or hate him, Sterling’s comments have got everyone talking.
“I think its an illusion, Award, a plastic thing that someone brings from China and you want to kill yourself for that one, noo bro, look past it, when you win an award do you not realise it is a pride thing, it’s pride and in life,, once you .. anything that magnifies your ego is going to kill you so you shouldn’t be practicing ‘people should hail me’ you are going to die. If you put your hopes or your life in that, you know peope praising you, so you don’t care at all, legits don’t care.”
