KUALA LUMPUR: Renowned singer Amir Masdi has dismissed speculation of a rift with indie rock band Sekumpulan Orang Gila (SOG) after Amir's conspicuous absence from the stage during SOG's Best Band victory at the 25th Anugerah Industri Muzik (AIM25). The 29-year-old musician clarified that backstage, he was preparing for his own set when SOG's name was announced, affirming there was no discord between them.
