Media personality Minnie Dlamini talks about how social media negatively affect her career. She is one of the top-earning social media users in Mzansi, but she has revealed the wrong side of social media and how it has made her lose job opportunities.
In an interview on KFM, Minnie Dlamini talks about the disadvantages of generating on social media when you are a celebrity. The media personality set records straight that being on social media has its highs and lows; not everything that glitters is gold.
It’s hard. Most of the time you realise it’s sad people, hurt people [or] people who are trying to get their 15 seconds of fame. You deal with it as logically as you possibly can. I always tell to people I’m still human, I see them and it does hurt.
Dlamini said that some rumours that made rounds on social media made her lose many job opportunities. She also said some social media rumours caused problems in her family.
I won’t lie, I’ve lost a lot of business as a result of people making up stories about me. People need to be a lot more cognisant that their words have power and you can destroy livelihoods and homes on statements that aren’t true.
Minnie has decided to keep her life off social media because she is tired of people spreading false rumours.
