Highlife musician, Kumi Guitar, has expressed on how bad he gets anytime he sees negatives stories published about him.

According to the artiste, being a celebrity is not easy especially when unknown people talk ill about him yet he try to avoid all the falsehood and focus on his profession.

“People see you and think all is well with you because you are popular but the truth is that it is not easy. There have been many times that I have been devastated and hurt about stories and even comments about my person that I know weren’t true’’.

“However, it is difficult to stop them because you are a popular figure and everyone feels they have a stake in your life. It can be really frustrating but this is what we have signed ourselves up for so you need to brace yourself and move forward when it happens.”

Kumi added on how hurt he felt after losing out on awards knowing the song beats all other competitors.

“I can’t imagine another song beating Dream in a category but that has happened many times. All this gets frustrating for me and then I ask myself, ‘how can Dream lose?’ Dream is a classic Highlife song so I expect it to beat all other competitors but when that doesn’t happen, I feel my efforts are not being appreciated’’.
