“I do it for attention and followers” – @iam_kcee explains why he flaunts wealth and calls himself a ‘fashion icon’

by Kolapo Olapoju

Well, this was never in doubt…

Limpopo singer, Kcee has admitted to starting the ‘fashion icon’ conversation because of his desire to make people talk about him and to gain new Twitter followers.

He also claimed to have gained about 2000 new followers, whenever he calls himself a ‘fashion icon’ or any other unmerited title. According to him, in Nigeria’s music industry, silence does not sell, you have to keep talking, even if you are making little sense.

In a recent sit-down with Punch, he said, “I made people talk about my fashion sense; I started it. The truth is that in this industry, when you are quiet and you want people to talk about you, one can do anything. I started talking about my fashion sense on Instagram and for those that know me and follow me, they would confirm that I am a fashion icon. Nigerians feel that when you call yourself a fashion icon, you are being proud and that is why they were criticising my style. Each time I create such controversy, I gain about 2000 new followers; so I keep doing it.”

The Five Star Music artiste, also said his habit of flaunting wealth and material acquisitions on social media is just a way of expressing himself, like his fellow American entertainers. According to him, ‘showing off wealth is normal’.

Kcee said, “I just like to express myself and that is why I flaunt what I have on social media, even the American celebrities do the same. If they buy new things or they are going anywhere, they put it on the social media. It is just a way of keeping the die-hard fans abreast of what we are doing. It is not a problem neither is it an issue but for those criticising it, I feel it is normal. No matter who you are on earth even if you are a pastor, people would criticise you. Even Christ was criticised, so who am I?”
