I'm a role model for many people, and if they like me or want to be like me or follow my path, it's a blessing that I get to influence my generation. Even if it's not my generation, if people like me for what I do, it means I'm doing something right. And whichever way they choose to show me, love, as long s they are not stepping on any toes or messing with my brand, that is cool,'' he said.

The CCTV hitmaker admitted that handling the issue of persons posing as celebrity lookalikes is dicey.

''Because if you go and show them love and they do something wrong, it'll come against you. If you fight them or become upset because of them, it'll be like, why are you fighting with these young ones who're showing you love? I am indifferent and don't hate them,'' King Promise told MzGee on UTV.
