Speaking in a recent interview on Property FM in Cape Coast, Rex Omar pointed out that even some globally recognised figures in the music industry had not secured Grammy wins, yet their worth as musicians remained intact.
He urged the public to acknowledge Stonebwoy's hard work emphasising that the absence of a Grammy nod does not write down his artistic prowess.
"Imagine that, despite Stonebwoy's relentless efforts, some Ghanaians are trolling him simply because he wasn't nominated for the Awards. That's what this country is, and when these things happen, it makes the artiste feel discouraged and disappointed," Rex Omar stated.
He further cautioned against allowing ignorance and jealousy to drive criticism, stating, "If you're a Ghanaian and, because of ignorance and jealousy, you decide to troll Stonebwoy, then who are you trolling? You're trolling yourself and the country."
