Former Tahidi High star OJ has responded to alarming claims about his well-being after a blogger alleged that the beloved actor is struggling in a rural setting, reportedly consuming cheap liquor.
The sensational post quickly gained traction online, prompting OJ to speak out.
In a direct message on his Instagram account, the father of one urged critics to either reach out to him personally or refrain from spreading rumors.
“If you are working to spread your muchene (rumours), do you. If not, call me,” he stated.
Further addressing the situation, OJ cautioned those perpetuating unfounded stories about him, highlighting the mental toll such misinformation can take on celebrities.
He affirmed, “I know you’re dealing with some frustrating fake posts on social media right now, and I wanted to remind you of something important.
“When people spread unverified information, it’s often because they feel intimidated by the incredible progress you’re making.
“Remember, there are countless fans out there who see through the negativity and remain inspired by your work and dedication.”
In a heartfelt plea, OJ reinforced the need for kindness and respect within the community.
“We (celebs) are not stupid, neither do we have power to run the economy. What we do is to make you happy. Tupendane, tuheshimiane (Let us love one another and respect each other).”
Despite the unwarranted attention, OJ continues to be active in the entertainment industry, with his social media filled with promotional posters for his upcoming events and gigs, proving that he remains dedicated to his career and fans.
