We live in a culture where an overwhelming amount of people strive to be famous. The titles of “social media influencer” and “content creator” went from being something only internet-savvy folks knew about to professional, eight-figure careers.

“This industry is not that you think it is,” the singer said on Instagram Live. “Don’t let these people fool you… Imma give y’all a little background with me. My life is not perfect. Don’t think because I’m on Instagram showing this, showing that. I don’t got a perfect life, either. And I want you to understand that just because and show all this fame, don’t think they life is good. It’s not. These people always faking and [I want] to let y’all know that, this is not what y’all want. Do something that’s lowkey. Do something that [will] help you out.
It’s unclear what prompted YK Osiris to share his thoughts on the industry, but the after a woman accused him of assault. “God can take this away from you real quick,” he added. “This is not a blessing from God. This is the devil’s game. It is not—this is not no God’s game.” Watch his video below.
