In his post, he wrote, “I wish some of you had at least one celebrity in your family.”
According to him, such familiarity would help normalise encounters with public figures and stop fans from becoming overwhelmed when they meet them.
The singer’s comment has since drawn mixed reactions online.
While some social media users agreed that fans often go overboard when meeting their favourite stars, others argued that getting excited around celebrities is normal, especially for a first-time encounter.
His remark has further fueled the ongoing conversation about fan behaviour and how people respond to fame.
