I’ve been thinking about this topic and I keep asking myself, why would someone wouldn’t want to be famous? What’s the worst that can happen?


This is me

Before I continue, I would like you to understand that being famous in Ghana is nothing compared to being famous in America or places like America.

There’s no single paparazzi on any street in Ghana, random people do not carry registered guns everywhere waiting for any slight chance to pull a trigger and make news headlines, and no one has time to kidnap anyone for ransom.

After thinking through all possible scenarios and possibilities, the worst thing that could happen to a celebrity or any famous person in Ghana is being mobbed on the streets by fans.

Trust me, with plenty of money or not, fame is something you would wholesomely enjoy in Ghana. You could just wake up a day and decide to make people happy by visiting random places where people would least expect you to be.

For instance, if I ever saw Rihana at my local grocery store (with or without bodyguards), I would freak out at first, I would gather courage afterwards and walk up to her, give her a very tight hug, and after her bodyguards have successfully separated me away from her, I would shout to her how much I love her and how much her music and personality inspire me. I would ask her to marry me immediately. It would not be anything lesser than genuine immense laughter, tears, and goosebumps.

Believe me, that’ll probably be the reaction of every Ghanaian fan when they randomly spot Rihana anywhere in Ghana. No bad vibes, all positive energy.

This is the reason why I would not give a second thought about being a popular person in Ghana. Basically, my reason is why not?

I don’t really know much about myself but one thing I’m very sure that I crave a lot is attention. Even though I don’t get that much of the time, I enjoy being the Dubai of all parties. I love being the center of attention. Even when a random friend of a friend, especially a girl recognizes or notices me at a place where I least expected, I feel happy about that, perhaps creepy but yeah!

me again

So in conclusion, I don’t mind being a Ghanaian Drake or Micheal B Jordan by tomorrow. I don’t mind taking pictures with random beautiful girls on the streets and having them choose me over their boyfriends, and most importantly I don’t mind affording everything I desire.

Even if I have to trade being famous for my privacy, I would not hesitate, after all, I could always go to Dubai for some peace of mind.
