Afrobeats artist Sean Dampte has appealed for maturity and empathy in public discussions surrounding celebrities’ personal lives, specifically referencing the marriage of Regina and Senator Ned Nwoko.
Addressing widespread social media commentary, Dampte cautioned against turning private marital struggles into online entertainment.
“Marriage is a journey that doesn’t play out on Instagram timelines or Twitter threads,” he said. “For every story people think they understand, there are layers they do not see. Regina is a young woman with a lot of spotlight on her. The situation requires empathy and measured conversations, not mockery.”
The Dem Go Dance crooner highlighted how today’s online culture often thrives on gossip, urging followers to remember that celebrities are human beings with real emotions and consequences.
“We live in a time where people want to trend off other people’s pain. But at the end of the day, these are human beings. Real emotions, real family, real consequences,” he said.
Dampte also reminded entertainers and influencers to exercise emotional intelligence when engaging in sensitive topics.
“As entertainers, we need to be careful about how we contribute to sensitive conversations. Let them handle what they need to handle personally. Not everything is for public entertainment. Social media is a loud place, but peace is quiet. Sometimes the best support is silence and prayer.”
His comments have sparked conversations about the responsibility of public figures and audiences in respecting privacy amid online scrutiny.
