I was watching a Nikky Minaj video today and it got me thinking of what they portray. Their trapp ghetto fabulous lifestyle where riches just appear and they show off lavish lifestyles.
I laughed to myself. Successful artists do not get famous from irresponsible lifestyles their videos portray. The truth is, they work extremely hard, they attend dance classes, 1000's of hours in recording studios, work with stylists, attend multiple business meetings . What you see is not their real life. They are going to work like the rest of society. They have to live on a budget like you and me. They have to watch their money.
In order to be succesful a celebrity works hards, they are reliable, have to be honest and have integrity in business dealings so that they can be given more work. They have to do what other people tell them to do, they are not the irresponsible fools portraying their life is easy. Yes they are enjoying what they are doing but they are methodical and they are highly disciplined.
The dangers for celebrities is that they can never trust anyone. In real life for a millionnaire to drive through the ghetto in a Bentley and show off their money to the poor is an incredibly unkind and disgusting thing to do! It creates jealousy in others and jealousy creates a poverty mentality and therefore increases hate towards success and crime. The genuinely wealthy understand this and many hide their wealth for those reasons.
When celebrities show off to the public in their videos and meet people in real life these fans don't really want them, they really want to take a little piece of their lifestyle. Celebrities are rarely seen being interviewed about their morals, views of life and work ethics and therefore rarely seen as "people" Therefore celebrities are always seeing people acting weird, unpredictable and shocking around them
The jealousy means they are often backstabbed, betrayed and hurt. Their hurtful family problems are highly publicised all over media they are regularly publicly humiliated and yet have to grin and bare the pain, put on a big smile, act cool for their dignity.
Celebrities are human beings. I was once friends with a rapper and he said he was mostly attracted to women who didnt fancy him and didnt pander to him. We were friends because I treated him like a normal human being and other than normal friendship and conversation I didnt want anything else from him.
