Douglas Lwanga Warns Young Artistes Against Chasing Viral Fame
The rise of TikTok has reshaped the music industry in ways few expected.
Songs now break through in seconds, dance challenges determine chart success, and many artistes measure impact by trends rather than longevity.
But as viral culture grows, so does the pressure to be seen.
Media personality Douglas Lwanga has weighed in on the shift, raising concern about how young artistes are approaching success in the digital era.
While speaking on NBS After 5, Douglas said many young people are prioritizing fame over genuine growth.
According to him, the rush to trend has replaced the discipline of mastering the craft.
He emphasized that real success comes from building skills first.
Without a solid foundation, he warned, recognition can be short lived.
Douglas encouraged upcoming talents to invest time in learning, rehearsing, and refining their abilities before chasing the spotlight.
