7 Nigerians Share How Fame Changed Their Friendships
Fame can change friendships in ways that are hard to explain. Seven Nigerians share painful stories of friends and relatives who became distant after finding success in music, film, influencing and entertainment. One person lost contact with a school friend who became a top music producer. Another watched their mother get shut out by an actress she once supported like family. Others were blocked, ignored or made to feel unwelcome by people they were once close to. Some believe success created the distance. Others wonder whether they also pulled away to avoid looking like clout-chasers. Their stories show how difficult it can be to hold on to old relationships when one person becomes famous.
