Why The Internet Still hasn’t forgiven Alicia Keys & Stella Damasus

The popular catch phrase “the internet never forgets” and the cancel culture on social media is currently on an all time high because it seems as though any little er by public figures and celebrities attract instant cancellation from fans and the general populace. Although it’s still quite arguable if the cancellation actually takes effect on the career of the celebrity in question because in some cases such as Chris Brown for his remarks on dark skin ladies, Kanye West and his affinity for President Donald Trump and Oprah for anchoring the leaving neverland docu-series which was allegedly centered about the late king of pop molesting young kids. They all seem to be taken more strides in their various careers and even amassing more fans.

However, in cases of James Charles who was accused of making passes at straights, Harvey Winstein or R Kelly for the multiple sexual assault accusations leveled against them. Their careers have seemingly taking a nose dive after being cancelled thus keeping them out of the spotlight and making them maintain a very low profile atleast till the issue blows over or someone else catches some heat. That being said, today I will focus on two beautiful and talented ladies who were doing well in their nollywood acting and Hollywood music careers until a certain similar controversial scandal rocked their lives.

Alicia Keys, a Grammy award winning and multi platinum selling artiste also loved by many for her laid back style and unconventional beauty lost tons of her fans after she hooked up with and got in a relationship with music producer swizz beatz due to rumors of her stealing him from his previous wife Mashonda Tifrere who herself said it took her up to 6 years to look past the issue and be cool with Alicia Keys. Stella Damasus on the other hand didn’t really get that kinda calm treatment because it spinned into a scandal where her husband Daniel’s ex wife was said to have stolen her husband with the use of charms, although she addressed the issue way back in 2013, she still gets backlashes whenever she posts about him on anniversaries or birthday.

Personally, I understand the cancel culture and support atimes when the celeb actually deserves such treatment but in unconfirmed cases involving sensitive people, I feel we should take time to observe the situation before pointing any fingers or throwing any stones. Funny how ThStella Damasus remains a very beautiful, talented and unproblematic movie icon while Alicia Keys will always be one of the America’s sweet hearts so whatever the case may be, let’s stop the bashing and spread love.
