Singer Timi Dakolo has advised those seeking fame to ‘grow a thick skin’, saying celebrities are often targets of online rumours
The advice came on Monday after a photo of Dakolo with a little girl at an event went viral, prompting some social media users to call the child his ‘love child’.
In a post on his social media page, Dakolo explained that he only carried the girl because she refused to go back to her mother.
“I carried a little girl at an event; she just wouldn’t go back to her mum. So I parented her all evening. The next thing I saw online, Timi and his love child were inseparable. This space is a mad house,” he said.
“Grow a thick skin if you desire fame. You will definitely need it. You can go to bed a happy fellow and wake up with news of you in some mess. And because you are famous, the odds are already against you.
“So people are always looking for someone to drown. Being in the spotlight makes you an obvious target. Grow a thick skin because being famous is a whole lot,” he wrote.
