Recent examples of this include famous rapper Ye (formerly known as Kanye West). One cannot expect to treat influencers like royalty yet still have them to hang on to humble beginnings. Continuing to “let things slide” creates a larger wedge between celebrities and so-called “normal people.” However, celebrities developing an unapologetic and elitist attitude is inevitable and endorsed by the public. If celebrities continue to make profit after inexcusable actions, they begin to feel they are past the point of accountability.
On one hand, why should a blameless party be stripped of their entertainment because an artist did something wrong? However, supporting one’s work is indirect support of the person themself. However, amongst the chaos in their personal lives, fans struggle to decide if supporting their work is the “right” thing to do. Their reputation plummets until they are only known for the mistakes they have made rather than the career they have spent years developing. Within the course of 24 hours, the internet’s perspective on a celebrity can shift, often for good reason. This has been ever-present in largely successful brands, musicians and actors. It can be the higher being one looks to when life feels dull, but can one place the same faith in the artist? Unfortunately no one knows when a seemingly unproblematic artist will slip up. For some, art is a reminder of the beauties of life, whether it be soft brush strokes of paint or the melodic notes of a song. Art is a canvas for growth, ideas and inspiration a place to put your faith when the mundane fails you.
