Dancehall musician Addi Self is the latest to call on celebrities to live fake lives just to impress people on social media.
In his opinion, artists who like to flaunt their wealth sometimes rent the items they present on the Internet, but turn to claim sole ownership.
In an interview with GhanaWeb’s Paula Amma Broni on Talkertainment, he urged his peers not to throw dust in the eyes of their fans who draw inspiration from them.
“Most of them live false lives. I will say this without apologies. If you have it, you live with it, but most of them flaunt it and you won’t see them with it for the next two days.
“You can see an artist in a house bragging about owning it. He won’t be in the same house for the next two years. If it was yours, you could have lived in it for a long time. Some of them rent and lie for the people,” he revealed.
Addi Self, a former member of Shatta Wales Millitant, also shared how he rushed through the Zongos to stardom and recalled using his connection with popular dancehall music to build his brand.
“We just have to keep it real because Addi Self believes in keeping it real because I came from nothing. From the Zongos trying to emerge and make my own music until I met Shatta Movement on Facebook.
“They signed me to their label, we did ‘Taking Over’ and ‘Thunder Fire’ and I left Shatta Movement. It’s just growth and I want us to keep everything authentic for the next generation. Music isn’t an easy task, you can do it if you’re really focused,” the ‘Loyalty’ singer advised.
