Falz Should Not Be In The Same Music Category As Sarkodie – Sadiq Abdulai

FalzSarkodieGhanaian awards CEO, Sadiq Abdulai Abu has blasted BET organizers for nominating Nigerian rapper, Falz in the same category with other established rappers.

Days back, Falz was named alongside other international artistes as nominees for the 2019 BET Hip-Hop Awards.

He was nominated in BET’s new Best International Flow category alongside Nasty C (South Africa), Sarkodie (Ghana), Tory Lanez (Canada), OG Ghetts (UK) and Little Simz (UK).

Sharing his reaction to the nomination list in a recent interview on Hitz FM, Sadiq disclosed that going by how good Sarkodie is, Falz should not be in the same category as him.

His words, “What’s Falz doing in the BET’s Best International Flow Category? I think it is disrespectful to Sarkodie for Falz to be in the same category as him, looking at the standard Sarkodie has set.”

“Sarkodie is been there, and done that. There is no slowing down. I hope he wins.”
