Tony Fresh Urges Celebrities To Avoid Fake Lifestyle On Social Media

Nigerian Hip-hop artiste Anthony Ugudu better known as ‘Tony Fresh‘ has urged his colleague and other celebrities to do away with fake lifestyle and invest more on things that would benefits them in the future.

Concise News understand that the artiste made this statement in an interview held with the News Men on Thursday in Lagos

He agitated that many musician live a flamboyant and extravagant lifestyle on social media by showing off their big mansions, expensive cars, travelling across the countries only to start begging for survival in the long run.

He advised his colleagues against wasteful living, to enable them to stay relevant in the society and for themselves.

Tony Fresh said “Artistes have to live a normal life instead of lavishing their money on irrelevant things that are not beneficial, and showing off on social media what they have or did not have’’.

“It is a pity that some artistes who hit it big in the past are now living in poverty, due to poor management of financial resources.”

The musician, however, advised budding musicians, to devise genuine means of income, to sustain themselves.

According to him, extravagant living among musicians and some celebrities in the movie industry is giving some enthusiasts of the sector reasons to worry.

“We have seen some known names and faces in the entertainment industry beg for funds when they are sick, after a successful career; it is a sad development.

“Again, a lot of incentives are provided by a label when contracts are signed like houses, cars and some cash, for a particular period, as agreed in the contract.

“Many have attained celebrity status in the industry; they become brand ambassadors of different products and organisations. But when the money starts coming in, the exotic lifestyle creeps in,’’ the musician said.

Tony Fresh attributed the depression and sickness among former big artistes in the country to extravagant living.

“The depression among celebrities in the entertainment industry is a long term effect of living a fake life. It is the repercussion of deceptive life,’’ he alleged.
