Rudeboy Discusses Social Media's Impact on Music Fame

Paul Okoye, known as Rudeboy, a Nigerian singer and former member of the defunct music group P-Square, discussed the impact of social media on musicians during an interview with Lun Lifestyle TV. He expressed that social media has reduced the prestige and admiration that artists once enjoyed, making them too accessible to fans.

Rudeboy noted that in the past, musicians were more mysterious, and fans would faint at their concerts due to limited exposure. He compared the current situation to how fans would react to iconic artists like Michael Jackson if he were alive today and active on social media.

Rudeboy criticized the current trend of frequent posting by artists, stating that it leads to a loss of mystique. He acknowledged that while social media has brought positive changes to the music industry, it has also resulted in what he termed ‘see-finish,’ where fans are overly familiar with artists' personal lives.
