A former Big Brother Naija contestant, Leo DaSilva, has said that being a celebrity is not enough to succeed, as one has to put in work to become a reputable brand worth investing in., he stated that he saw no reason celebrities should lead fake lives. He said, “Honestly, I care less about the decisions adults make with their lives. I just focus on my business. I want to make sure I find ways to make my investors happy, after a woeful business year in 2020.
Reacting to the trend of fans tattooing the names and images of celebs on their bodies, DaSilva said, “I would not encourage any fan to tattoo my image on their body. Sometimes, we forget the influence we have on people. I would prefer to have a special WhatsApp number to interact with my fans, rather than having them draw tattoos. A lot of them just need encouragement most times. I won’t take advantage of their love to cajole them into doing that.
Revealing the most touching thing his fans had ever done for him, he said, “On my 27th birthday, my fans threw me a surprise birthday party and showered me with gifts. They also support all my businesses. I don’t know if Davido is a fan but he reached out to me through Peruzzi when my mum died in 2018. That was really awesome of him and it’s part of the reasons I like him.”
