Multiple award-winning dancehall musician, Stonebwoy, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the way certain Ghanaians use social media to drag entertainers, expecting them to seem strong and subjected to mental agony merely because they are superstars.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz with Andy Dosty, Stonebwoy stated that most of his fans are very constructive when it comes to criticism, but some fans of other musicians will always aim at dragging others unnecessarily into the digital space.
According to him, some social media users take things too personally, attacking the troll directly rather than generalizing his or her remarks and turning them into constructive criticism for the benefit of all parties concerned.
He also stated that the notion that celebrities should become accustomed to insults and trolls should be dispelled, as they might have a mental impact on them because they are human and easily shattered.
“Generally, we should understand that these things affect people a lot; they are not things we are supposed to be used to. It is not natural to be used to insults. People would say you are an artist, so you should be used to insults. Come on, we are humans,” he said.
