8 Ways To Lose Your ‘Celebrity’

No Passion

When a star arrives, it’s all about ‘the passion for what I do’ but after an album or two (like in the case of Nigeria) the fans can’t remember where he gets his drive from. The music changes, lyrics no longer make any sense and stage performances are fueled by ‘highness’. It’s a shame because at that point man, the whatsoever passion you may have had, has disowned you! Worst case scenario is that the artist starts struggling to gain acceptance into his own world talk less those of his once-die-heart fans.

No Vision

‘Where do you see yourself in five years?’ is a frequently asked question by almost every media to a newly born artist. The usual respond is with this phrase, “I will still be doing what I do and maybe be the best at it”. Do you still wonder why that ‘maybe’ is mentioned? Because they don’t even know! If you do not have a vision of your success, then who will? Who will propel that ‘tiny’ dream of yours to glory if you can’t struggle to reach that light at the end of the tunnel?

No Mission

You are surely wondering same thing I am wondering about. Is their craft not the mission? Mmm, maybe but without a structured PR or management, a ‘celebrity’ is doomed! Of course you can’t handle ‘everything’ yourself thus other hands are needed. They are experts and can handle your business even more than you! Mind you, they are not your buddies; they are working for the betterment of what you are now and in future. Talents can’t be extraordinary if they are not well managed!

No Charisma

Every public figure has to have some going on. If you don’t then you are on a long thing. Sometimes it’s not the money you have that matters but how you put that cash into use. Your charisma is strangely very important. They way you dress, smile, speak, and spend cash makes up the swag. When you get it right, it’s the best!

Alcohol

Yes, Jesus turned water into wine but it wasn't all for you. When you consume there are always damages and that means what you do for a living is in danger! Ever seen a You will not only be ricked in alcohol but God help you to speak sense, sing sense or jump around that stage without looking like an imbecile. That is what too much alcohol can do. I've seen situations where an A-list start forgot his lyrics on stage or an actor was sent off set course she couldn't relate to her script. Very !

Drug Abuse

Here is the point where celebrities don’t know the difference between a normal and We saw smoked himself off or Bob Marley who always looked high on something but both are still legends. It’s not your calling. Once you have follower-ship, your life becomes a vital aspect of theirs. You are a role model who would love to be endorsed and paid millions for saying, Can you imagine how stupid you would look if you are or became a victim? Jamaicans do it, why not you? Really? Abuse of drugs waste your life and definitely cripple your career. Except like I early put it, you don’t have a vision, then here becomes your last bus stop! Moreover, the will on you behind!

Abusive Relationships

Here is the part where you’d probably ask, it is my concern that artist get to do their jobs well and on time with no distractions whatsoever. Relationships most time affect celebrities’ decisions: when to go for a studio session, photo/video shoot, interviews, concerts, meetings, etc. Why should your partner not allow you to go for functions all in the name of spending time with a love one? I've seen times when PRs get pissed and managers get to put their feet down, “it’s either him/her or your job!” This gets really hectic and crazy.

No God

We all know is the ultimate. He gives you everything you can ever imagine, at least that’s what the religions tell us. So if you don’t have in your life to guide your every being, every step in your career, every decision etc, then there’s nothing.
