#Repost via Mak Adem This is the TRUTH from this Legend. Kenyan Entertainment scene critically analyised. Sad it happens on the ground not only on groups.
HOW THE UPTOWN KENYAN TOP ARTISTES,TOP DEEJAYS,TOP ACHORS AKA CELEBRITIES TREAT OTHER ARTISTES IN GROUPS!
1. If an upcomer is in trouble and needs help from the established (as case of Swiga's friend rape case at an event and cases of many upcomers seeking feedback or reposts of their new music) the rule that applies in this case is No one owes you anything
2. If an established artist is in need of similar help as above in form of votes, shares, event attendance, Na hata mchango the rules that applies here is We should support our own, Its a win for all of u as if upcomers are not our own.
3. When an upcomers complains that they are not getting the support, their celeb mentality automatically thinks everyone is in need of financial aid or such investment so the rule that applies is Even if we sign upcoming artists it will not solve their problems as if support=Signage
4. When an established artist they don't like gets underpaid at events, as case with county funds set aside for entertainment the rule that applies is Build your brand to earn what you deserve and stop complaining
5. When an artist they like gets underpaid, the rule that applies is We need to fight this corporations and these bills zinanyanyasa wasanii
6. When they don't support you and somehow you make it on your own, they get scared, coz they know they can't expect support back, you don't owe them anything, so when you have events, or need votes or stuff like that they go quiet. This is coz No one really wants you to win and have that much power, but they are scared of your abilities so they shut up in case you win they are not on your bad side, its called Half Support, that's the rule that applies here
7. When someone they've always supported gets such an event, or needs votes everyone wants to look like they are supporting, and they'll support nomatter what. And will bash anyone who won't support. As is case of Nyashinski's vote. They treated everyone who didn't want to support as an enemy, The case of the lady who posted that she'll support talent and not feel obligated to vote Nyash just coz he's Kenyan came with a lot of sexist comments, celebrating rape culture and the rest applauding as if they don't have females in their lives. So the rule here is support no matter what, support blindly, you'll be associated with success
8. When an artist they don't like posts something the rule generally is let's ignore, we're all busy, this group is just for notifications or, depending on how much wanakudharau, let's make fun of him/her make him/her feel small and everyone join in
9. If an artist they feel they wanna associate with posts something, everyone wants to join in, and anyone who doesn't is seen as not one of us so the rule that applies here is wasanii wakenya mnapenda kucomplaign but you don't support each other, hebu angalia wangapi wanaignore hii post, we can see those who've read it but not responding
10. If someone they don't like complains that their stuff is being ignored the rule that comes with long lectures is network, network, network
So basically, my findings
- as we already know we don't have an industry but they'd like to think that we do
- they lack sufficient adoration from their respective fields so they choose to feel important in the group to feel the hole. Wakenya hawajui kama kuna celebrities so apart from blogs, the only celebrities Kenyans know and adore are politicians, comedians and musicians from other countries so they want their need for adoration to be filled by the upcomers, who will have to stay upcoming forever to keep feeding their ego, so they won't really help one up.
- The upcomers they'll choose to help are those that are affiliated to their cliques, or those that have been upcoming for a really long time and are gaining lots if momentum & buzz underground so to be associated with possible success they wanna come in just before their dawn
-They think they got it all figured out,ati they can dish out advice's like build your brand before we help you yet they are all still struggling. Sauti Sol, being our flag bearers as we all agree can't even hold their fanbase loyalty.
In other countries we see fans really loyal to their stars like they can start fighting online if you are for Diamond or Ali Kiba or if you prefer Rihanna to Beyonce.
Kenyans in a flip of one bad post went on Sauti Sol like we can leave without you.
Many other stars are still struggling in their day to day lives so there's no artist who's really made it yet, and those that have been positioned as the best are not really doing as well as they should, and those are doing well depend on other businesses to sustain them.
Poverty, is the rout of all evil. That's where all this is stemming from.
Wait what is the celebs problem is it fear, or hate or madharau.
No, these are the symptoms.
Their problem is Insecurity insecurity breeds fear, hate, the mentality that if you support someone you'll lose, the mentality that there is no enough market for everyone to flourish, the mentality that I have to know so and so to succeed, the mentality that if we don't vote Makadem, he'll fail and that will give us mileage, the mentality that if someone is not kissing ass or sleeping around she's snobbish, etc etc
FYI, Diamond has brought up young talents, some even more talented than he is, doing better music, but that hasn't affected his success.
Even a socialite is bigger than a big Kenyan artiste. Fans fight each other on why Vera sidika is better than Huddah Monroe or why Zari is better than Hamissa without them ever uttering a word.
