Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Amerado has provided insights into his music career journey and the public’s perceptions of his financial status.
In an interview with MX24 TV, he discussed an encounter where his classmates were curious about his career and lifestyle, with some assuming that he was wealthy due to his celebrity status.
“I remember after one class, my colleagues came to me, and then they said they would want to have a chitchat with me. They sat me down and they did an interview. Like, ‘Why is it that you have all the money? You are an artiste, you have a car, and you are coming back?’ and I said, ‘I don’t have all the money. I want to seek all the knowledge first,’” Amerado recounted.
He pointed out that these public perceptions can lead to certain expectations of him and other celebrities, including fans wanting to see them with expensive cars. Amerado, however, emphasized that he would not succumb to such pressures and would continue to work hard to achieve success in the music industry. This highlights the challenges that celebrities face in managing public expectations and perceptions.
“When you have celebrity status, people have a certain image of you. Fans want to see you in a Range Rover, but it all boils down to you and your story. People know me as that guy from Kumasi who’s been struggling to make it to the top.
“You don’t expect me to drive a Range Rover while I can’t cater for my mother. I don’t let people’s perceptions get a hold of me. I just live my life as a normal guy. When I have, I give. When I don’t, I seek,” he said.
