A word is enough for the wise. Harrysong, social media drama and the need to take a chill pill.

Five Star Music star Harrysong is in the news and it’s for nothing particularly impressive. On Tuesday, October 4, 2016 the pop singer spoke out on being allegedly stalked on social media by a lady who is threatening to kill him. According to the singer’s Instagram post, this has been going on for about a month now.
He wrote: “This has been going on for like a month now.. there's a Lady I thought was a fan. “She started with all the compliments , appreciating my music and brand.. then progressed to saying she's in love with me..then progressed to request for sex..and now she's even threatening to kill me if she doesn't [have] me on her bed. "As you all know [I'm] in America currently doing my tour..people around my estate also sent messages to me now, saying there's a lady looking for my house address, desperately saying she will pay anything..that she's in love with me. Her Instagram handle is @missongz, [what] I don't understand here is, is this still a fan love?" The Reggae Blues crooner is currently overseas on some promotional tour and many believe he is trying too hard to remain in the news back home in order to complement his current ‘sojourn’. Actually, he needs to get his social image right in several lights as this has a lot to do with his overall brand. Over time, we have seen the singer put out questionable stuff on his social media account which has you wondering if he is really in charge of things here or not. He has also fallen out with fans several times as well, which also customary with celebs around the world anyway. Whatever the case, the truth is Nigerian celebrities need to realize there are expectations from them given the positions they occupy, the influences they wield and their huge followings among other things. Scratch that. The Five Star Music entertainer needs to have experts handle his social media, media relations and everything in between. With social media antics like this, one thing is certain – Harrysong is getting nothing tangible but a nosedive into a pool of questions, controversies and an entire web of needless online banters. And it’s all been done with carelessness and a feverish dose of insouciance so that we don’t really know it’s Harrysong who’s involved here. A lady gets into your DM on social media and sends you a couple of messages and you devote some time to replying her? You had the time to get screenshots of the conversations and then put it all out there in the open? How ridiculous. For what, please? What is new under the sun about female fans being worked into a frenzy over male celebrities they are passionate and crazy about? Talk is cheap and Harrysong knows better than to put out all of these in a bid to win some public favour and whatever it is, because in the end he will get everything he is yearning for – which is nothing but some ridiculing and a bitter dose of shame and a dip in his overall brand equity. A word is enough for the wise.
