More and more of our artists are equipping themselves with squads of very muscular body guards to ensure their safety. Is it a question of protecting themselves from a real threat to their security or a simple desire to impress the gallery, by imitating the big world-famous stars who cannot set foot outside without close guard? This blogger wonders.
Like every other morning, my eyelids refuse to open and so I wonder if it’s already time to go earn my salary. But before that, I wander around social networks for a few minutes to catch up on world news. You never know, with the leaders of great nations who seem as narrow-minded as they are unpredictable, you could wake up in the middle of 3th world War. It’s always useful to take the pulse of the world before starting the work day.
So there you have it, before jumping in the shower, I’m quietly scrolling through Facebook (goat cheek for us fans of incongruous jokes), and who do I come across? The Number, the Faucet, the Water, the YearsI named… Natasha. Everything that is most normal under the Burundian sky, you might say. Yes, except that in front of her is a sort of muscular King Kong with a rounded chest. Dressed in pants and a tight t-shirt, the guy is one of those who did some body building a religion. With a black beret screwed on his head, the guy is the spitting image of Schwarzenegger in his youth.
The sight of this stubborn-looking guy, dripping with testosterone, reminds me of other artists who go out in public, surrounded by a horde of body guards. It has even become trendy when a star manages to stand out from the crowd. One of them who returned from a trip to Tanzania explained that for the sake of her ‘’show-biz’’, you had to appear in public. I didn’t quite understand his explanation at the time. Later, a photo of a student standing on a table, apparently haranguing his classmates, surrounded by young people in suits and sunglasses, created hilarity on social networks.
The Masiologyyou’re never walk alone
Recently, another woman in ruling party outfit, standing on a table set up for the occasion, surrounded by young girls with walkie-talkies, called out to us again. Shouldn’t a sociological or behavioral study be done to understand the ins and outs of this new trend? What does all this fuss mean?
Let’s return to our subject. Would there be a serious threat to The Maziologie, the Myembe to force him to take a big arm? Even if this were the case, does the big arm have to wear this outfit which gives him a clownish look? Gloves, elbow pads, leg guards, anti-sun glasses, he looks like he’s going to fight in Kandahar or North Kivu, poor guy! But no, he’s just going to open the door of the indestructible’s vehicle at Faucet.
We know that some stars live under threat, either from their competitors or their fans. Those who know Tupac know that he did not die a natural death. The settling of scores between stars is an open secret. If this is the case for Natacha, rest assured, we will all be behind her to protect her, even without being her biggest fans. You’re never walk alone chère Natacha.
Closer to home, Ugandan mega star Radio did not die in her bed. Sometimes, fans are so crazy that artists have to be protected even on the stage. But when I saw a photo on social networks, of an artist, not very well known, I must point out, in a local radio studio, behind him a big arm, I said to myself that this affair will very far. Is this really a need for security or just a show off?
A friend to whom I showed the photo laughed before telling me that it reminded her of the old film we called in our childhood “Makonongo” “When you finished watching it, you had the false impression that you had become stronger, with the desire to fight.”
A guardian angel for me too
Okay, let’s drop this side’’hater’’. All things considered, these “stars” who hire the body guards give work to young people, and from this point of view, it is only commendable. The weaklings know what they have to do to hang out with the stars and earn money, that is to say, go to the gym! It is not untrue that some stars can feel threatened, so it is normal to take necessary precautions. Except that when it’s too theatrical, it borders on the ridiculous.
Only one wish: that these well-rounded young people become numerous to the point that even the ‘’undergrounds’’ can afford these guardian angels. If Bidondo needs bodyguards, he should be able to afford them. Besides, while I’m at it, why not me? I’m leaving right now, asking how much a fashion weekend will cost me safe
