TikTok star Felicia Osei disclosed her displeasure with actor Kwadwo Nkasah Lilwin’s comment that TikTokers are not stars. Despite his popularity, she reminded him that he may also not be a star to someone.
Kwadwo Nkansah Lilwin said that TikTokers were not stars. He cited that people like musicians and actors are considered celebrities. He further questioned why TikTokers are getting ‘pompous’ as the app will surely fade away with its relevance.
In response, Felicia Osei found it surprising why Lilwin would attack their profession unprovoked.
“I was very surprised when I heard it. I wondered if one of us had offended him because we cannot disrespect a senior man like that. So why is it that small children have not wronged you and a grown man, if you had given birth early, he could have given birth to us, say those things?
“But what can you do? He may have his reasons. I won’t blame him much because he may have said it just to trend. So it’s not an issue for me,” she told Zionfelix.
Felicia also added that the same way LilWin doesn’t see them as VIPs, some people do not see him as a celebrity too.
Even if we are not stars, we are well-recognised people in society. Someone will also say that Kwadwo Nkansah is not a star. No matter who you are, someone will not put you on that level. So if he doesn’t see us as stars. Definitely, someone somewhere sees us as stars.”
