Yomi Casual advises 21st-century celebrities after social media collapse

Nigerian fashion stylist Yomi Casual has told the new crop of celebrities to respect their older colleagues who made it before the advent of social media.

The celebrity stylist made this known while reacting to the shutdown of some of the world's popular social media apps on Monday, October 5, 2021.

"This should serve as a lesson to y'all 21st century celebrities and online business owners. You are nothing without the media. Respect those who made it to the top without social media #TheStruggleIsDifferent," he wrote.
