Marlians, Wizkid FC, 30BG gang, Bellovers, Savage Army, Outsiders, Beliebers ..... Whatever names they may choose to bear, it is evident that fans club are fast becoming an integral part of Artiste's branding and they have immense power in propelling the career of their artiste thus consequently playing a crucial music in the music culture and industry as a whole.

A popular saying goes "Music is a universal language". Persons that have chosen to speak this language as a career path are known as musicians and when these musicians speak to someone's soul, they gain a fan and make a sort of connection with them.

However, there are some times that the connection between the artiste and the listener becomes obsessive and toxic and in this article, I have examined some symptoms of toxic followership of Celebrities especially Music Artistes.

1) Priority - " if Wizkid is performing here tomorrow and I have an exam tomorrow , I can miss the exam o". This statement is a typical example of toxic followership. Prioritizing celebrities over your loved ones, placing them above your life goals like exams or contractual appointments, not priotising your physical health to attend their shows or listen to their works among other things shows toxicity and unhealthy obsession.

2) Disregarding Other Talents - Not recognizing and constantly downplaying other talented and competitive artistes shows toxic followership. Once you start noticing the urge to always compare other artistes with your favourite and regard the other Artistes as never good enough or talented or constantly disrespecting and insulting other artistes in competition with your favourite for no reason, you might need to caution yourself .

3) Fighting Other Artistes fans - Engaging in physical/online fights with other people over Artistes that see at shows and hug things out or even go further to do collaborations is just plain ignorance . Threatening to beat up , setting up location for physical fights , insulting people's family and losing friends over artistes is simply a sign of celebrity obsession and toxic followership and should never be encouraged .

4) Trying to be like One's Favourite Artiste - Fans planning to do plastic surgery to look like their favourite artistes , dressing exactly like them, copying their mannerisms, frequently receating scenes in their videos and other acts of immense imitation are signs of toxic followership.

5) Excessive Stalking - While wanting to hear and know more about your favourite artistes can be classified as fan love , Stalking their pages excessively, camping at their apartment or monitoring their movements and the lives of their lovers or family members is a sign of celebrity obsession and toxic followership.

If you exhibit any of these signs , you might want to take a deep breath to reflect , set your priorities right and reevaluate your love for such Artistes in order to truly enjoy their craft and maintain a very healthy connection with them .

Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright....

Real niggarrrrs don't do these..every real niggarr believes he is a master in his own lane...smoking some dope shit, making some dope money, drinking enough bottles and banging pussy
All what you mentioned are for pussy ass niggarr and our vaginal people
The only celebrities that can make real niggarrrrs to posses those characters mentioned above are Ronaldo and Lionel messi....even as at that we still don't display such stupidity

“If we have the attitude that it’s going to be a great day it usually is.

What most people don't know is that you might actually be better than most of these celebrities we are so obsessed about..... It's only a few of them that can really live up to all the hype.....if you follow some on other platforms, you will be shocked about how unintelligent they are ( especially the women)...
Let everyone just live life at their own pace

Ciao

“If something is important enough, even if the odds are stacked against you, you should still do it

Followers make them celebrities; some would prefer them identifiable with a unique brand name

U

I used to be a die hard fan of most celebrities till i grew up and understood that every nigggaaa is a celebrity in his own domain, truth is its ok to be a fan but taking extreme measures to prove it is plain stupidity.

You did not add Helites, Ninjas and Icons

Music is good for one's soul.

Are those listed actually a role model?

Apart from the music, in which other ways have they been productive to the society?

N

Soro soke generation

If Na nonsense they have money and energy, to rep a football club , cult or Celebrity they are active.. governance and politics that directly affect standard of living and every policy affecting their life they ignore

Do they have PVC. .... Hell No!!!
Do they vote ..... Hell No!!!

When election results are out, they come online to curse and insult everybody that came out under the sun and rain to vote in people who represent them.. calling them zombie, BMC

Marlians are the craziest

Little heroes go down the drain day by day,
Future leaders, go down the drain day by day,
They are crying so loud, but the whole world is not listening
Only you the mothers of the world can safe the children...
There's a-lot of things to be legalised, but abortion is not in it

How can you have the face of an angel and let the devil inside of you take control
we are tired of hearing these little voices crying from far away saying

Mama why do you destroy me
Mama what have i done to you
I deserve to live like anybody else.


Compare the above lyrics to

Why dem come dey para para para para for me
Why everybody come they para para para para for me
Na why 30BG we go para para para dem go para for you

or

Joro joro joro joro joro jara joro (x3)
