But the reaction from both fans and celebrities has drawn attention in addition to the incident itself. Well-known Nigerian comedian Mr. Macaroni expressed his dissatisfaction on his X account and called the attack needless and demeaning. He underlined the value of respect for one another and asked fans to get permission before approaching celebrities for pictures.
This is sad and highly condemnable!!! There is absolutely no need for this assault. This is dehumanizing and I speak against it because I know exactly how this feels.
The change that we all seek must begin with us!!! https://t.co/fsdbl2T2u6— Mr Macaroni (@mrmacaronii) February 13, 2024
Please, if you must take pictures with any of your favorite celebrity, kindly seek permission so that you are not seen as a threat. Respect is reciprocal.
We must respect the privacy of our celebrities and Celebrities must also learn to treat our fans with respect and dignity.— Mr Macaroni (@mrmacaronii) February 13, 2024
Reactions began to stream in from all directions as many individuals questioned the need for fans to get too close for pictures, igniting debates over appropriate distances in fan-celebrity encounters.
