Akwaboah is a Ghanaian musician
Singer and songwriter, Akwaboah, has stated that social media is filled with jealousy and envy, often coming from people’s own friends.
In a video shared on his social media page, Akwaboah explained that many people are quick to ignore their friends’ achievements but pay attention to negativity.
He said it has become common for people to scroll past posts celebrating progress or success, but rush to share negative content or criticism involving that same person.
He encouraged people to be mindful of their mental health and avoid getting affected by the negativity they encounter online.
According to him, the best approach is to focus on one’s peace and not allow envy get in the way of personal growth.
“Jealousy on social media, the envy on social media is so real. I mean your friends will scroll past your progress but let anybody insult you, they would screenshot it and send it to you. When you are doing something good, they would never mention it to you. The envy is so real. Protect your peace and move on,” Akwaboah stated.
This is not the first time Akwaboah has spoken about issues such as envy, jealousy or sabotage.
Recently, he alleged that there was some form of sabotage in the gospel music industry where he claimed that a gospel song he wrote and was featured on received little to no support from the gospel music community simply because he is known as a secular artiste.
“Three days ago, I recalled that I did a song with TY Crew; I wrote it, but they featured me. When the song was released, the gospel fraternity didn’t want to play it just because I was part of it,” he said.
