Nollywood movie producer and actor, Saidi Balogun, has said that pressure to please fans has indeed pushed many celebrities into living fake lives.
According to the experienced thespian, many entertainers, unable to withstand the subtle pressure, involve themselves in all sorts of unacceptable things just to keep up a good appearance.
He pointed out that the only thing those in the movie industry owed fans was to always produce good works that address certain societal issues.
He said, “It is always better to be yourself. I am myself, I don’t believe in the saying that you are addressed the way you are dressed. I believe that people should be judged based on their intellectual prowess and not by their appearance. I can ride okada from Lagos to Ibadan.
I believe in doing what makes me happy. The pressure people put on celebrities can push some of them to get involved in some deals that they are not supposed to do. They force them to live fake lives.”
Balogun, called on entertainers to use their talents to impact society positively rather than using it negatively.

It is only the foolish ones that allow fans put pressure on them. I think they are the one putting pressure on themselves because they want to outshine each other.
ReplyDeleteThe likes of Queen Nwokoye and chioma Chukwuka still has fans that likes them for their talent.
He is right to an extent ooo. There was one artist, won't mention his name he used his car as a taxi you needed to see how people were mocking him while recording him at the same time because he was trying to make ends meet.
DeleteTake the case of banky too minding his business only for trolls to say he has nothing and there was a man who has his priority straight with a good head on his shoulder.
Most fans have unrealistic expectations and think too high of these celebrities forgetting they are just humans.
The artist you don't want to mention is speeddarlington no be so? That uses his Benz to do uber in New York.
DeleteHeyaa 20:54 see how internet has fallen now that dem don mention his name.
Delete#Our routines cause us to rush and go on cruise control. Slow down. Try to find joy in the tasks you usually do mindlessly. At the very least, this will lower your stress level*

Society is filled with well respected ppl and they're not faking a 'platinum life'. Those in showbiz are their own problem for the simple reason that they see a need to compete. Don't ask me what the prize is. Meh dem shift, abeg.
