Nigerian singer Vic O has taken to social media to address criticism for continuing to work and release music following the death of artist Mohbad.
On his Instagram Story, Vic O gave a stern warning to fans who he says are unfairly bashing him for “hustling” and not publicly mourning Mohbad’s passing.
He explained that he chose to process his grief privately while still working, calling out detractors for policing how he handles loss.
Vic O acknowledged that fans are hurting from the tragedy as well. But he will not tolerate online mob justice from those who feel he failed to grieve correctly.
The defensive reply sheds light on the pressures artists face to balance professional demands with personal trauma when tragedies occur. Vic O implied suppressing his grief to focus on productivity, only to be attacked for it.
