Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh advises on Dumelo situation

Entertainment pundit Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh, in a chat with YEN.com.gh, weighed in on how celebrities should address negative comments on social media. He highlighted the need for certain comments to be ignored. He said:

"I don’t think it is necessary to respond to negative comments on social media, especially if they don’t directly affect your brand or income stream. Some comments are given attention because entertainers rather engage those ones rather than the positive comments."
