Some of the other songs might have thrown shots, but that\u2019s even allowed once it doesn\u2019t go beyond certain limits. When it gets personal, I will go personal too,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you don\u2019t know me personally and you try to make it seem you do, then we will have to let you expatiate. It\u2019s lyrical. The Sergeant Lee lyric, if it means something positive, then \u2018I take am\u2019 but if it doesn\u2019t, then I would like to know what they are talking about. I have done a lot and so maybe that\u2019s how the person wants to praise me. I have also seen tweets where people call others Corporal Nii.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stonebwoy is the only Ghanaian who was nominated for the BET Awards this year. He, however, believes there are many other Ghanaians musicians that should have been shortlisted.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cThe way things were going, I felt that if we did get a nomination, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised, but I was only thinking that it was going to be more than one Ghanaian artiste, that I was sure about. My instincts were very sure that it was going to be more than one Ghanaian artiste but to our surprise,\u201d it wasn\u2019t so.<\/p>\n<p>The Go Higher hit singer will be competing with Wizkid (Nigeria), Davido (Nigeria), Tekno (Nigeria), AKA (South Africa), Nasty C (South Africa), Mr Eazi (Nigeria), and Babes Wodumo (South Africa) for the award this year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dancehall musician Stonebwoy has said he will be interested to find out the real meaning of \u201cSergeant Lee\u201d as used in Shatta Wale\u2019s Taking Over track.
