It should be "celebrities are forced to live fake lives in order to please fans"

Let it not look like we are holding a gun to their head

They are not children. If fans force them to live beyond their means then it shows they have a weakness of character. Why should we respect anyone with a weak willed personality to begin with?

You are not forced into anything. There are still plenty celebrities who still live their real lives whether poor or rich and are contented with what they have.You guys chose to live fake lives to please your fans into believing your life is perfect.

Nobody can make you do what you don't want. That's a lie. Certainly not when your an adult. As an adult, are you telling me you dont have your own say?for me, thats another way off shifting blame and not taking full responsibility for your actions. Many Nigerians not only celebrities, are out rightly too proud.

That was how i told my brother who just finish studying medicine the other day. Let's trek a short distance. We are going to the mall.. Which is a stone trow.

He responded like I just said something that is a taboo. Me trek..? God forbid! All because he is now a doctor. In his own mind he is now some celebrity.hence all eyes are on him. Any thing that resembles hardship is frowned at. This is the interpretation we always give things. But thesame doctor will buy treadmill? What is treadmill, what is trekking?

We watered things down to joke in the end. But i had gotten a perception of the mind of many Nigerians.

When mark zugerberg came the other day, all our celebrities were dressed to kill. The man who can buy dem over and over, was dress in God knows what. That's modesty/ humility. Something our own celebrities lack.

Saidi is always real tho'




Simple dressed dude

They force themselves to live fake lives... Why didn't we force BankyW to sell his old range all this while? abegi Mr Saheediii

I strongly doubt this. its down to one's choice to live to impress others or live to impress and be happy with yourself. There are showoff celebrities and there are humble ones. Its all down to the individual.

Live according to your means .....https://www.nairaland.com/4627611/quality-handmade-brogues-boots

Afonja’s and Skin Bleaching are 5 and 6. It amazes me why the male breed of this ewedu licking specie see the need their bleach their skin. Inferiority complex maybe? I can only imagine the body odour oozing from this so called “celeb”.

No wonder most of their ladies turn to executive olosos. Sleeping around with politicians and yahooboiz just to leave fake life on instagram. Useless set of people!

Lol

.

No lies

.

This is another argument of which came first, chicken or egg.

I think he is right. I second you Saheed.

. Commmon Shutttuuup ! You are one of those " Mugu Fans "

na lie jor..

Celebrities live fake lives to please their fans and also stay relevant.
Fans don't force them to live fake lives...

There's a degree of narcissism that is needed to be a successful showbiz person.
Coupled with shorter attention span of fans due to constant barrage from social media and the likes... I can understand the immense pressures some of these celebs are under to maintain their fan-base whilst improving on their brands..

A young artist looking to 'blow' as quickly as possible with a poor moral fibre, will definitely get into sticky situations...

Saidi has only raised the need for fans to have/ display social responsibility and not support/ applaud 'dodgy shortcuts' which may be criminal in nature, in order to keep up with public expectatio

.

Which kind of mumu talk is dz.

high expectations from them perhaps

true talk but what i'm not understanding is why are you not living a fake life

GistFullGround:
Are fans responsible for your lives?




Fans made you be a divorcee?

Letenwam:
Saidi Balogun, has pointed out that the fake life most Nigerian celebrities are accused of living, are caused by fans.

The respected movie producer and actor who stated that the only thing those in the movie industry owed fans was to always produce good works that address certain societal issues, added that many entertainers, unable to withstand the subtle pressure, involve themselves in all sorts of unacceptable things just to keep up a good appearance.

“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" Saidi Balogun said.

“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" Saidi Balogun added.

Na people like you he is referring to. How dare you know so much of his begging spree? Not just that you also know the internal workings of the wife's unforgiving system. Haba

Life is a choice it is either you are succeding or you are failing.. Just like mathematics when u solve an equation u must get an answer either wrong or correct so I would say from my own point of view, celebrities are never and would never be satisfied so they keep craving for more afterall none of their fans held a gun to their heads that they must live a fake life it is what they enjoy doing so Mr Balogun with all due respect u are over 85% wrong that the fans make celebrities live a fake life... They simply copy other celebrities and by so doing get into competition of fashion, wealth and so on with other celebrities they then get stuck while trying to make more headlines ...

They just want to.

Lol. Only broke celebrities live fake life.

Hmmm...boda Seido - weldon sir!
