Sello blasted those who think they have the right to decide who should be honoured in the industry while snubbing those who have given their lives to the arts sector, like himself. He wrote:

"There is nothing new here! Professional jealousy exists and it’s a disease that will eat them silently. They can’t take away my talent nor my contribution to the ARTS! When you know you are great, you have no reason to hate!

"Many may think I have a sense of entitlement but this is a deliberate career assassination by people in the industry who are not even my peers! There are people who think they are demigods and can decide who is worthy of being recognised, I have given over four decades of my life to this industry and still counting."
