Filthy lifestyles just for fame.
Among the things I have always wished for, fame isn't one of them. It might sound dumb to people who enjoy being famous but I somehow do not like getting too much public attention, it makes me feel uncomfortable because I am shy and hate being stressed.
Fame comes with stress for me, it comes with trying to keep up with lots of things and people, and it sometimes even reshapes your lifestyle to things you are not used to. I didn't just dislike being famous as an adult even though it makes you enjoy some privileges, it started even as a child.
I remembered during a church children's anniversary, I was among the backup choirs in the children's church then and we were to sing at the main church auditorium. I was good with songs but can't face the crowd so I usually sing from behind the girls in the front, that day the girls ran out of songs and I picked it up.
The pastor knew it was a boy's voice and picked me out, he told me to always attend the adult choir practice. It was a huge stress for me, I hate being noticed.
Secondary school days too weren't what I wished for, I was appointed the assistant head prefect at school. I wish I wasn't appointed, the stress was something else; it's not like I don't like new challenges but when it is attached to fame, it becomes something else for me. I don't know why I am like that and it baffles me to see people go to crazy lengths just because they want to get famous.
The video of a lady went viral recently, she claimed to have coupled with a dog for some money that looks too huge for her. She dared to share such claims online, she was so confident to the extent that she said it was a dog she coupled with, and she didn't kill anyone. It means her sin wasn't as big as murdering so people should stop saying shit about her.
It got me wondering how filthy the world has become, people no longer have shame or respect for themselves anymore.
A few days later she came back online with tears saying that her boyfriend broke up with her, she confessed that she didn't do what she claimed and she was only trying to get the world's attention.
Yes, she got the attention, her Tiktok followers boomed immediately. I can confidently say that many of those who followed her did that to get an update on what was going to happen to her after her claims but she was thinking otherwise. Her life is now in complete jeopardy because the police have taken up the case, why would someone cook so much lie about herself for fame?
It doesn't end with her, I have seen ladies throw themselves naked on social platforms just to get attention. After the fame what next?
A lady once said that people get an endorsement from being famous and I asked if she can allow someone who walks naked online to be the face of her brand? How many times have you seen a pornstar used as the face of a reputable organization?
People embrace fake and expensive life just for fame, I remembered someone exposing a celebrity that the things he/she uses in her/his videos are borrowed and it includes the money she/he displays.
All these things are just for fame, it involves all gender because a lot of guys are into this rubbish as well.
It depends on the kind of fame you want but one thing that I know is that fame will come to you easily when you are successful.
Isn't the likes of Pantera, Jane, PVM, Olasquare, and many others famous on the platform? Their success earned them fame, Roger ver, Marc and many others are famous for their good deed so why wouldn't people do what's right if they are desperate for fame.
Jeopardizing one's future for the sake of fame can be a very terrible mistake because the dent will remain a stigma forever, it is easier to say that people will forget her story sooner or later but they have forgotten that the Internet never forgets.
At the biggest stage of her life, she will be shocked to know that her past would resurrect. Fame is not a necessity for life, going extreme for it is a mistake.
Whatever that will make me ruin my personality or reputation for fame, I will never do it. Fame for how long? The fame will be gone but my reputation would forever be smashed to the ground. So, I prefer to stay on my lane, enjoy my life in a simple way with God by my side.
