Ghanaian artiste, George Kwabena Adu, well-known as Kwabena Kwabena, has condemned fake news and misinformation about celebrities.
He talked about the negative effects of fake news targeting celebrities in a recent interview.
The โAsorโ hitmaker bemoaned the canker when discussing some of the challenges in the industry with Giovanni Caleb on TV3.
โPeople say things they have no idea of just to trend. Itโs not good. Sometimes when you put something out there about somebody, ask yourself, if this person was a family member, how would I handle it?โ he stated.
Apart from having families and loved ones who may be affected, Kwabena Kwabena said their reputation will also be at stake if fake news is spread about them.

โWe as celebrities have families and loved ones. So sometimes when you spew falsehood out there, itโs really not good because in this job we do, we use our reputations.
โIf a brand wants to associate itself with you, they dig into your reputation and whatever is put on the internet about you,โ he averred.
The popular Ghanaian artiste further cautioned the media and others to be mindful of what they put out there about celebrities.
โAt the end of the day, you get clicks, but youโre destroying someoneโs life,โ Kwabena Kwabena admonished.
