Reggie Rockstone shared his candid thoughts on navigating social media and dealing with online criticism during his appearance on Joy Prime’s ‘Prime Morning’ show, monitored by MyNewsGh.
Reflecting on his initial experiences with platforms like Twitter, he recalled, “I remember the first time I turned up on Twitter. I remember Manifest DM me and I said, ‘What is DM?’”
Acknowledging the challenges of the digital space, Reggie stated, “I realized that this is a crazy world. But the thing with me is that I am a wordsmith. I am a rapper. Damn it, I talk for a living. So it’s very hard to troll me.”
He continued, “You better look or get your… excuse my language… get it right before you come at me because I’m not just a shanty. I’m a rapper. I’m a British New Yorker. Come on now. Coming at me, you better have… and most trolls are not that intelligent.”
Reggie also addressed his interactions with social media personality Bongo Ideas, saying, “Me and Bongo have a weird relationship. Bongo is a young dude. He does what he does. But you have to understand the way the system works. It’s the people who empowered Ghanaians hate. So really, that’s how come he got an audience.”
Despite the challenges, Reggie emphasized his resilience, stating, “It’s very hard to troll me. So in the history of trolling, I guess I’ll probably be the only person who’s trolled.”
Reggie’s insights shed light on his approach to maintaining authenticity and strength in the face of online adversity.
