“Sonnie Badu is one person that honestly has decided that he wants to get it right and for me I can’t take that one from him. But anytime you want to get it right, you beat other people down to get to the top, that is where my problem is,” Rev. Laryea said.
The ‘Emere’ singer added that he admires the fact that Sonnie Badu was trying hard to climb up the ladder but climbing it would be worthless if the young singer was unable to pull the ones down there along.
“I think that anytime you are going up, all of us should look at the general outlook because if you are up there and all of us are down then you are nothing, No matter how strong you think you are, if all of us are up there, then it gives credence to you being up there.”
