I have people in my life who can sit me down and tell me \u2018this is good, this is bad\u2019. Never allow fame to control you. If you allow fame to control you, you lose control of yourself. Any celebrity who is going wayward is surrounded by bootlickers. You may be richer than them so they can\u2019t advise you. But wisdom has nothing to do with money\u201d he said in a Facebook live video.<\/p>\n<p>As monitored by www.abrantepa.com, OJ further cautioned celebrities to live a life worthy of emulation as they serve as role models. He counseled that any decisions they take would have consequences on their lives which could be irreversible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are a celebrity, people look up to you so we should be mindful of the decisions we take. Age and life will teach you to be sober. You\u2019d wish some of your actions could be reversed but it\u2019d be too late. It\u2019d be very painful. When taking a decision, we should be careful for the sake of our children and those who look up to us\u2026 Get someone who can straighten you up so you stand out and excel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a philosophy that we don\u2019t swallow fame; we inhale it. Never ever swallow fame. If you do, you deceive your own self and you appear to your own self as a superhuman. The reason why a lot of people become famous and allow fame to control them is the person did not prepare for the fame; it just hit them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>OJ has curved a niche for himself in Ghana\u2019s music industry as one with inspirational songs and incredible songwriting prowess. He has four albums to his credit: \u2018Obi Nya Waye\u2019 (2002), \u2018Etesen\u2019 (2006), \u2018Nokwafo\u2019 (2013) and Oboafo (2016).<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmroware%2Fvideos%2F10214184550833525%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=267\" width=\"267\" height=\"476\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 49 updated by: 49 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 13 September 2017 Source: abrantepa.com 2017-09-13 play videoGospel musician, OJ says celebrities should be sober &#13; Gospel musician, OJ, asserts that some celebrities are unruly because they are mostly surrounded by sycophants.
