KiDi, a Ghanaian singer-songwriter, has stated that he is not proud of his previous trolling.
He exploited his social media platform for trolling at a young age. “I was probably 19, 20,” he says. Social media was not always what it is today. You come to social media to speak trash and go on with your life.”
He expressed sorrow for his actions, noting that such events educate and grow you.
“I take full accountability and responsibility for that. I’m not proud of that but I’ve come to also realize that the people we are right now, however old you are, is not how you came into this world. There’s a lot of experiences you’ve gone through to learn and grow to become the adult you are,” he stated.
In an interview with Cookie Tee on TV3 on Friday, July 28, 2023, the ‘Touch It’ singer pointed out that he had to learn the hard way from the experience though it has shaped who he is today. For him, what he did was done during his “foolish youthful days”.
“Unfortunately, this was my foolish youthful days but I went through that and I’m proud that I’m no longer this kind of person. I’ve had to learn the hard way that this is unacceptable and I’m happy with the man that I am right now because I am a great guy,” he mentioned.
When asked to counsel individuals who continue to indulge in such activities, the VGMA 2022 artiste of the year stated that certain people had to go through specific ordeals before learning; no amount of advice would work.
“‘Wob3 nnyin ab3 tu’ (meaning you’ll grow to come and see). There are a lot of things in life that you can never advise anybody on; they have to meet it themselves and learn from it. I’m of that view. If they don’t experience it for themselves, they won’t learn,” he indicated.
