In today’s society, where social media has a profound impact on public perception, it is essential to remember that not everything seen online is genuine.
This was recently emphasised by Nigerian singer Crown Uzama, widely known as Shallipopi, who shared an unexpected truth about himself.
Despite frequently appearing with cigarettes in his photos and videos, Shallipopi revealed during a recent interview with Soundcity that he does not smoke.
However, he explained that his use of cigarettes is solely for “aesthetic purposes”.
“One thing my fans don’t know about me is that I don’t smoke. It’s just aesthetics,” said the ‘Oba Pluto’ star.
This revelation is both intriguing and thought-provoking.
Shallipopi often presents a lifestyle that many of his followers may believe to be authentic.
For some, this portrayal might have been interpreted as an endorsement of smoking.
Also, it potentially led impressionable fans to adopt the habit under the mistaken impression that their idol does so.
This serves as a reminder that social media is a curated platform where individuals, including public figures, express a different kind of life.
