When I was seventeen and Nav dropped the bars, “Running back the sack the trap feel like a sport, yeah. Yeah I’m famous but I miss my life before, yeah. Finally got some money, can’t go to the store I lose every girl I love when I’m on tour. My momma calling me and I ignore her. Running from my problems ’til my feet get sore…” I was frustrated because I was blind as to how someone could be overwhelmed by fame. I mean you always hear ‘Mo Money ‘Mo Problems type clichés but after being a celeb for about a month now I can confirm: what we go through (as celebrities) is more strenuous than any other experience any of you have ever had. In this blog I will be explaining to you the challenges I face staying humble, maintaining relationships with people from my past, and keeping up with expectations from fans. Without further ado, the challenges of fame.

Relationship Strife: I can’t express to you guys how hard this is on the girl I’ve been seeing recently. Whether it’s the constant DMs from girls that want to be babe of the day, or advertisers swooning for my time, I can’t imagine how hurt she is by my success.

It’s gotten that it’s now to the point where she doesn’t want me to visit her on Fourth of July because she’s afraid that her much more attractive older sister is going to…try something on me.

Stress On My Mom: My Mom is my number one supporter and fan. My rock, if you will, and the guilt I feel for what she has had to go through because of MY fame is astronomical. We can’t even go out to eat without restaurant owners being insistent on us getting food delivered/ taken out. All because they are afraid of the ruckus that might occur if I was to simply enjoy a meal in public surrounded by people with my family, so much so that the government has even intervened under the guise of calling my public presence a “state policy.”

Expectations From the Public: Being completely transparent, I know how much my opinion means as an influencer. Whether it’s COVID, protests, or saving the country of Yemen, that falls directly on my hands. Without making a public statement, acting as compassionate as I possibly can, change just isn’t possible. It’s a HARD job, but somebody has to make the world a better place.

Staying Humble Through Success: I haven’t missed on a blog or a skit. Every single piece of content I’ve put out is A+, and my fans let me know. It’s like I’m a hot girl who has never been told “no” before and staying grounded is probably my biggest struggle on a daily basis. When you’re getting constantly complimented for what you do, to be as down to earth as I am is considerably difficult. I love all my fans, but maybe tone it down a notch.

Ultimately, being a brave, humble, and white male celebrity is impossible. How influencers ranging from Justin Bieber to Mel Gibson were able to stay sane is sort of a mystery to me. Everyday is one baby step at a time, but I do it for you guys and my boss (you’re welcome, Ryan.) 

You’re Welcome,
