Celebrity lifestyle.

I literally thought they were my fans, not just fans but people who would stick with me in the good and in the bad times.

I was sad, infact coming online suddenly became terrific to me, it was so hard to come online. My phone was continuously disturbed with different notifications from different social media platforms.

What exactly was my offence?.

I'm Bella by name, all my life I had always wanted to be famous, I wanted to be known; home and abroad.

I wanted people to know my name, both the young and the old. I badly wanted to be seen by all.

I decided to double up my efforts when I clocked sixteen. I worked triple hard, established all my social media accounts and kept building up my followers by creating contents that can't be ignored.

I showed them different videos, videos that the youths of this present day would fancy. Shockingly I got what I wanted.

• Tons of comments.

• Tons of followers

• Tons of subscribers...

My Twitter, Instagram and tiktok accounts got verified faster than I ever imagined. I was overwhelmed with happiness and pride, I was finally getting the fame I've wanted all along.

I always enthusiastically woke up to check my notifications, my social media platforms, read my emails and anything worth doing on phone.

But on one very sad day, something terrible happened to me, I went to have fun in a club on that fateful night, I got drunk and didn't even recognize myself anymore.

But for the fact that I was filmed, I wouldn't have known what I actually did.

My head felt like it wanted to burst, my brains felt the dying urge to burst out, I felt so sick in the stomach... but all these disappeared the moment I picked up my phone to check my notifications.

Different blogging platforms had my name on their headlines as written below:

Famous Bella Maris caught on camera; drunk, breaking bottles, and fighting in the popular bar in Lekki.

A whole celebrity breaking bottles, read below to catch the full gist.

Omo, see as the famous Bella slapped the bar man in her drunken state... click here to watch the full video.

It was just too much. Was I really the one who did all that? I was taken aback when I saw the comments from most of my fans.

Na home training cause am, right from inception, she never had home training.

Imagine a whole celeb; doing this, but you no get shame oh, why would you drink this much if you know you'll get out of control.

I cried out loud when I saw the number of views, comments, retweets, reblogg, uploads, talk more of the tons of likes and reactions.

It was then I felt something was actually fishy, I have never been drunk to that extent. I slowly began to recap everything that happened.

But while at it, my phone buzzed again, a notification had popped up, I checked the head line and immediately I saw it, I froze.

When? How?... It was then I knew my life was doomed.

I finally remembered it all, my best friend orchestrated the whole plan.

Her name is Vera, we've been friends since our childhood years, and since our childhood years we've always wanted to be famous. We both achieved all that, I still fail to understand how and why Vera would do such to me.

I guess she was jealous.

I remember her; giving me the drink on that fateful day.

I had looked away for awhile when two lovers asked me to sign my autograph on a book they had held, and the next time I picked up that drink, I couldn't remember what happened afterwards, but I woke up, alone in my bedroom.

I'm not upset with Vera, okay I am, but not that much.

I'm only surprised as to how my fans, those fans that always dropped lovely comments on my contents, those fans that posted my pictures on their walls; calling me their role models, those fans that I had literally taken as family, those fans I had helped in one way or the other; by doing random giveaways and so many more...

I expected them to understand, I can't really write all they said, it's too lengthy for me... But not them, I didn't expect this backlash from them, I expected them to atleast wait to hear my side of the whole story; to see that this was all a setup.

It truly dealt me some lessons:

To be famous, you need to be prepared, one single mistake can wipe out all the good things you've done in time past.

To be famous, get ready to be watched by everyone, get ready to let go of somethings, be aware that people are watching you.

What others would do and be overlooked all because they aren't a public figure, a famous person can't do it.

• A famous person can't argue for change with a driver.

• A famous person can't shout at anybody publicly and so many more...

Like it or not, someone would be watching; waiting to capture those ugly moments.

It's their job after all.

Till we meet again in my next article and in yours.

Thanks for reading.
