Sometimes, we forget celebrities are human too. Believing there’s a protective shield beyond the glitz and glam facade guarding their emotions is akin to believing aliens exist. The fact is, your favourite celebrity gets bored, loves and is affected by external influences like the rest of us and this week’s celebrity news lends proof to this fact.
AKA
The South African rapper was recently in his feelings about the social media application, Instagram. In his long expressive tweets, he claims Instagram is sucking people into living fake lives or wishing they had certain material things to be happy. His founded claims come at a time when people are realizing that the photo and video sharing app gives people the opportunity to share an illusion, as opposed to reality. The rapper who believes he is part of the problem is contemplating quitting the app:
I’m legit thinking of quitting Instagram. The pressure it’s putting on young men and women for material things is scary, and people like me are part of the problem without even knowing it. That thing was created for one purpose, for you to want things you don’t actually need.

There must be more to life than Instagram.

You go on Instagram, and it legit sucks you in on every level. You scroll and scroll and scroll and click and click and click, your mind completely devouring everything. Every bag, every holiday, every car, every new product that you are told you NEED in order to feel complete.

Sigh. We know the feeling man.
Davido
The assurance crooner has expressed his desire to spend his life with his girlfriend, Chioma. This is probably the hundredth time he has posted something cheesy about her, yet we can’t get over how mushy Davido is. (Fingers are crossed, hoping nothing puts their love asunder.)
Laura Ikeji
Oh, how time flies! Just recently, pregnant Laura was giving us pregnancy style goals, and now she’s celebrating her son’s one year birthday. The mom who was beyond excited and full of love showered prayerful blessings on her son, Rok. She shared images of a birthday photoshoot, and he looks beyond cute.
