Stop living fake lives- DJ Advisor

Although he would not mention names, award winning radio presenter, DJ Advisor of Happy FM has disclosed that most celebrities in Ghana live fake glamourous lives.

He said most of them borrow most of the stuff they flaunt around just to keep up appearances and has asked such celebrities not to allow pressure from friends and fans to push them to live beyond their means.

According to the winner of Highlife DJ and Music DJ of the Year at the Ghana DJ Awards “there is no point living a life you cannot afford. “I cannot understand why some of our celebs would rent cars and clothes for shows plunging them in huge debts just to make people believe all is well with them when that is not the case”, he told Showbiz in an interview.

Explaining further, D J Advisor, real name, Isaac De-Graft Danquah said that most celebrities live a make believe life borrowing from friends and living a life style which they ordinarily cannot afford.

“There is nothing wrong with wearing what you have. Why pretend to be what you are not? I will not want to mention names but I know so many of them who live this kind of fake life. They go borrowing from friends and live a life style which they ordinarily cannot afford.

“Well, you cannot blame them much.  When fame gets into one’s head, one is likely to live a kind of life-style one is not ready for and that explains why so many celebrities live a fake life style.

“It is actually not easy when you have the name and you don’t have the cash but I would want such people to know that God’s time is the best and that they should wait for their time. 

“I hope people don’t get this twisted. I have no problem if a celebrity can afford the things he wants and goes ahead to do them. My problem is with those who cannot afford but just to impress their fans and other people, they go to all length and finally end up neck deep in huge debts. That makes no sense to me”, he added.

Moving away from fake lifestyle to payola, DJ Advisor said he believes in appreciation and not  payola.

“I believe it is okay to be appreciated when you do a good job and your work is recognised.  Appreciation can be in various forms and not necessarily taking money from musicians before playing their songs on air,” he said.
