Popular performer and hypeman Mc Gogo recently stepped back from social media and explained that he did so in a bid to get some distance from the demands of online criticism as well as connect with himself.
In an open self-reflection, Mc Gogo explained that even though artists do not necessarily like to talk about it in the open, the social media comment space has the ability to deeply affect them. He further mentioned that the constant criticism, judgment, and opinioning have the ability to change the way one feels and thinks about himself, leading him to back away sometimes and channel.
“Wasanii ni vile hawaongei but comment section changes someone. I thought of quitting social media, I needed that to come back to myself,” Mc Gogo added.
His integrity points to a growing conversation about mental health in the entertainment industry, where celebrities are under constant scrutiny from fans and critics. Stepping back from it, he said, allowed him to recharge his batteries and get back to being himself away from the distractions of social media.
Mc Gogo’s return will be welcomed with open arms by fans who love not only his talent but his integrity as well when it comes to talking about the challenge of living under the limelight.
