Stellar Award Was a Mistake

Uh yes, I'm trying to reach Mr.

Byron Cage, please.

Speaker.

How are you doing?

My name is uh Lorentz.

Lorenz, I'm calling from Stella Awards headquarters.

Oh, okay.

I'm sorry, did I catch you at a bad time, sir?

No, no, not really.

But um, how can I help you?

We we have a bit of a situation here.

First of all, you you won male vocalists of the year uh for two thousand and ten, right?

Oh, for two thousand uh eleven.

That was just uh last month.

Okay, eleven, I'm sorry.

But two thousand and eleven.

Uh and you beat out Mr.

Marvin Saab, Mr.

Fred Hammond, as well as Mr.

J.

Moss.

Yeah, man, that was amazing, because man, those are some of my favorite things, man.

I got all that records.

Okay.

Well well, Mr.

Mr.

Baron Cage, well, we we have a bit of a problem here now.

It it seems like the uh tallying up the the votes for you winning this thing was actually uh uh there's been some miscounting on the votes.

What?

Yeah, well, it seems like the awards who who is this?

I I'm I'm La Ridza over at the uh Stellar Wards uh headquarters.

Okay, and you said that that I actually did not win.

Right.

What what we have here is it it shows uh Mr.

Marvin Sapp that was actually the winner.

What we wanted to do was see if we could first of all get with you and maybe we could hold a press conference or something where there's definitely an apology made to you.

We we want to give you maybe a uh a couple hundred dollar gift cards or something like that.

Wait, wait, wait, let me get this.

You say that you're from the Stellars Committee, and I actually did not win the Mill Vocals of the Year that Marvin won.

And what's your two place, man?

Yeah, we're we're we're we're we're aware of that, that it uh you know that uh and tremendous uh turnout, it was a great event and this is the only uh glitch that we've had is that we've actually made a mistake on who was the male vocalist of the year.

Man, in the twenty six uh years of the history of the Stellar Wars, Mr.

Jackson has never uh had a problem.

There's never been an era like this, man.

So I and uh and I wanna apologize on on from from the entire committee.

I wanna apologize on our behalf that we've made a huge mistake here.

And and as far as you letting me know how many the stellar wards and a and nothing I I don't need a history lesson, okay.

Well, you know, Marvin has d dozens of stellars already.

It's like you know, I've been blessed to win five before this one.

And so if it's if it's the point now that, you know, we had the award show, you know, I came on stage, I accepted and I told the Lord thank you and all the people who were wonderful.

But um this is a Okay but sir, sir, you won several other Stellar Awards, but you did not win this one.

Okay, and the mistake is on us and we're trying to rectify the problem.

I don't need you telling me how many Mr.

Marvin Sabbath has that Stellar Award is on my mantle and that stellar war, so stay right where it is.

Okay, but are you listening to me, sir, that you did not win.

If I th if I didn't win, then why is it in my position, sir?

Because there's been a mistake, sir.

And that's what I'm trying to explain.

Well, this mistakes this is a mistake that y'all won't have to learn from, I guess, because that stellar is staying right on my mantle.

You know, if y'all want to give Marvin another one and tell him, you know, but I'm not doing no press conference, I'm not doing any of that.

So uh uh Mr.

Byron Case, don't you think it's better to give than to receive?

Well that is the word.

That is the word.

But it's also and he takes the foolish things to confound the why.

So, you know, maybe this is a a moment for you to learn wisdom that before you call an individual, uh you better, you know really have your facts straight because you know, though I love my brother Marvin, we're both from Grand Rapids, Fred Hammond from Detroit, and Jim Australian Detroit, we're all from the same place.

You know, I love my brother.

Okay, well if if if you guys are all from the same place, it shouldn't be that much for you to go down the street and give it to Mr.

Marvin Sands.

But I'm just telling you, bro, uh my stellar is here and it's it's just gonna stay right where the other stellars are.

Okay, then then sir, then I I uh that's gonna lead me to actually coming to your home and getting I wish you would

I wish you would, you know what I'm saying?

Because this is what the Saints you know we we we love the Lord, we love Jesus, but now you ain't dealing with no punk man.

You c you come up in my house, it might be something else.

I have to come and get that award back so I can do what is right by the award, okay?

Now is there is there a time I can come by your home to pick this up

Oh my God

You know I'm so grateful that I'm delivered for cussing because you know there are a couple things that I would really love to say to you right now.
