Of Whining Celebrities: Where Do We Draw The Line In Their Private Lives?
Why is it Kenyan celebrities are always quick to complain about paparazzi and tabloid scrutiny at their lives? That is something I have personally never understood. And it frustrates me to no ends to see people whom Kenyans consider celebrities get on social media to belly ache about being exposed or about having something they had posted on either Instagram, Facebook or Twitter used. Oh the humanity of it! The horror!
The Thing Kenyan celebrities seem to forget is that because they are in the limelight, there is a genuine interest from the adoring public to find out how they are living, what they had for supper or whom the are (allegedly) sleeping with.
To top it off these belly aching, butt hurt celebrities are rather disingenuous about the entire picture and that is very exasperating for a celebrity rag writer such as myself. And the reason is simple, you bait us then cry wolf like the silly little shepherd and when I give you and your “brand” a wide berth, you want to act shocked. Let’s take a look at what I am saying:
For those who want to act like “proper” protective parents; if you do not want pictures of your child used, keep them off social media or post them under the “private” privacy setting. That is as far as you can control that. It’s just that simple. That is why you never hear Wahu and Nameless complain about their children’s photos being made public. They know where I keep posting the Facebook terms and conditions and you all keep acting shocked. Let me do so again so that you do not waste your time and money sending your lawyers here with no basis:

For those of you who post pictures of controlled substances then call me up for a take down when I catch wind of said picture and post it, just don’t. Don’t be that stupid. Then the worst thing is that such people then go on social media to belly ache and gripe about such none issues. EXCERCISE BETTER JUDGEMENT YOU FOOL!
For those of you who get caught up in scandals and then catch major feeling when I cover the scandals and put them in the public domain, Uncle Chim Tuna hapana tambua ma feelings! Just get your P.R game up. Find a way to do damage control. A method that doesn’t involve me or Baba Ghafla -I have a special spite for people who think running to the boss compels me to act a certain way.
Or better yet, keep your mess private and between the 4 walls that are the confines of your home.
Are you getting what I am saying? Be like George Clooney. Study the Wayans. None of these people get caught up unless it benefits them. They only ever pop up when it matters to them and their careers. Showbiz is literally “The Business Of Showing Off” so be professional.
