Many celebrities have chosen in recent years to keep their private lives off social media in an effort to shield their loved ones and themselves from the deluge of comments and criticism that can accompany celebrity.
Public personalities now cherish their privacy more than ever because of the intense scrutiny and unfavourable comments that might result from revealing intimate moments online. Stars are prioritising their mental health and the integrity of their relationships, which is leading to an increase in the tendency of keeping personal matters private.
Bisa Kdei, a Ghanaian highlife singer and songwriter, is one such celebrity who has opted to keep his personal life out of the spotlight. He recently talked about his choice to hide the details of his wedding in order to shield his wife from any potential backlash on social media.
During an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, the performer, whose real name is Ronald Kweku Dei Appiah, revealed why he chose to keep the event quiet. He disclosed that the January wedding he attended was supposed to be a low-key event.
“I wasn’t scared. I am protecting my wife from social media. I don’t want people to come and say anything about my marriage. That is how I like it.
“My wedding was a coded affair. I did it in January. I didn’t want anybody to hear about it. Somebody leaked the
There were soldiers and a lot of people at the ceremony,”
He clarified.
The “Mansa” hitmaker went on to elaborate on his wish for solitude by sharing a story about an incident that occurred at a wedding of one of President Akufo-Addo’s daughters. Someone was nevertheless able to shoot and post pictures on social media in spite of stringent steps to stop people from taking shots.
In addition, Bisa Kdei considered how his desire to keep personal affairs private was highlighted by the fact that word of his mother’s dying was leaked online before he could even make an announcement.
