Could you handle your life being in the public eye the way celebrities and royals are?

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

Watching how now that Darius and Keke are trying to work things out, and even Tia and Corey, and there's so many bitter birds (and even some dudes) in the comments saying "don't do it, don't go back to him" and projecting their own worthless lives onto them, and it made me wonder:

Could you do it?

I feel like everybody ain't mentally strong enough to handle so many hundreds of thousands of opinions coming at them at once like that, especially being able to read it in realtime via social media.

Here's the comments on the post about Keke and Darius:

Nope! It’s gonna snowball again. Ugh I hope she can be safe and that baby too!!

Girl this man will fukk around and kill uou

Keke what ?

Nooooo

If he’ll hit you he’ll kill you good luck sis

I feel like this is what messed Keke and Darius up in the first place, listening to people on social media.

And this ain't the only case of it. There's plenty more where people cast their opinions on celebs and some folks can handle it and know how to withdraw and keep their private life private... and a lot of people whose minds crack from the stress (Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and the list goes on).

When did mediation become working things out and potentially getting back together?

Not without the money.

Today's kids are growing up with it, so they'll probably evolve to handle it better.

I don't even like when the hand full of people in my daily life meddle in my affairs. Let alone millions of people got some type of stake in my life or some opinion on me.

Gay ass thread.

The best thing for you would be to stop living vicariously through those dudes.

Yes, especially if I were to become famous now at this age. I'm of an age bracket where I remember pre-social media overexposure of stars while coming of age as social media exploded.

I was an "over sharing" type with Facebook/Twitter, not so much with IG because it's picture-oriented and I'm not a picture ass niqqa. But the over sharing may go over better since it was about things of substance. I'd likely be active as hell for two months at a time and then disappear till the cycle repeats.

I also care about my craft first and only have enough of a business mind to be compensated fairly for my talent, not fulfill certain quotas. Most investments or business interests would be silent to limit potential passive-agressive hate.

With music in particular, I wouldn't care about my own label because other people's career progressions and livelihoods in my hands doesn't interest me.

I'd also be doing side mission type shyt. Martial arts, training with pro athletes and physical therapists, traveling, visiting psychics and shamans and shyt. That would occupy the other 10 months.

I've been largely invisible to women for 30 years so the new attention couldn't be mistaken for true desire or blended with past conquests to be hurt when shìt doesn't go my way. I think that's where a lot of rappers get caught up, they blow up before getting enough ups and downs with women beyond high school shìt. I'd have no issue cycling IG types and pornstars.

A vasectomy would be had. Many beefs spark over mens' sensitivity to baby mamas and rival men taking advantage of that. No woman could bear my seed and become a chess piece against me.

If I became famous in my early 20s I'd be sensitive to the hate but the side missions would distract me. I'd be caught up with the hoes though.

Yes and no. They can be a bit too plugged into it.

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

[the cac mamba]

Yes. A lot of the "invasions of privacy" are really just people talking too much and/or looking for clout and attention. No different than regular life. We all know people that broadcast every little thing they go through and they aint never starred in a hit movie. Nobody makes these stars announce all their business. We dont know shyt about Denzel and his private life. Him and his wife keep shyt solid. Its still possibe in the age of social media. Most of these people love the attention good or bad regardless of what they say.

It is and it isn't. Denzel can do that because all of his cache was built well before social media. It's an unnecessary tool for him. If he was born even in 1984 instead of 1954 and has the same breaks at the same age it wouldn't be as easy.

But actors have it easier than music artists to remain private since they play characters for limited time-frames. Music figures build characters for people to follow and expose their music that way.

Nah, I'm good
