Gyakie is a Ghanaian singer
Ghanaian singer, Gyakie, has established that live shows are no longer centered around enjoyment.
She said many attendees now go with the intent of finding faults to turn into “breaking news.”
While acknowledging that criticism has always been part of an artiste’s journey, Gyakie, in an interview with HitzFM noted that it has become excessive and, in many cases, deliberately harsh.
Gyakie condemned this fault-finding culture where people set up cameras to dissect artistes’ lives despite knowing little or nothing about them.
Online trolls have made performing on stage feel like courtroom – Gyakie
“Nobody is far from criticism but it is becoming a bit too much. It’s like people even do it on purpose. You can go on the internet and somebody sets up a camera to dissect your entire life when they don’t know anything about you.
“Most people don’t even go to shows to enjoy it anymore, they go there to find breaking news. They go there to see who fell, and they go there to find who missed the key. The motive is moving away from enjoying life and accepting that we are all humans and people make mistakes and it’s more I’m going there to make sure I get some bad news and then come and post it up and be trending. Things are not fun anymore, people are being too careful with everything,” Gyakie said.
