"He looks clean and just a regular dude. Why is he being recorded? Fame is annoying; let the man live," said Phenduka.

Social media users respond to Phenduka's post

"@Solphendukaa, bra yaka, I agree with you 100%. Ene on the other hand, I also understand the human impulse of fans to be mesmerised by celebrities or famous people when they see them in normal everyday life. I guess it’s the same impulse when they see a celebrated musician while performing and immediately take out their phones to record them."

@lifecoachsbu reacted:

"Sometimes I go to the shops in my worn-out t-shirt and shorts. Because angigezanga and making a quick in and out. People will stare, and you can see they think 'uwile', (fallen on hard times). Ey, now we must dress to kill every time we leave the house? Suka."

@Balmain3o wrote:

"Like, bro can't wear normal clothes or go buy a pack of Lays from Shoprite?"

@A_simba98 responded:

"He is not a regular dude, man, stop playing with us. We grew up watching this Man on national TV, in prime-time slots. If he had passed in a BMW, we would still record him for obvious reasons (fame). So, what's wrong with recording him while he's walking?"

"You will find that the man is not even struggling, but he just wants to live a normal life."

@ShoeSnobbie responded:

"Almost like he's not allowed to walk freely and shop at that yellow and red store."

@_Pax17 reacted:

"Eish, people have a compulsive need to record everything."

@sekoati_tsietsi commented:

"Content centered on unnecessary scenes nje, and yes, the pursuit of fame is unhealthy sometimes."
