Rapper, Edem has condemned some social media users for “bullying” celebrities into attending and tweeting about the OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration.

This was after some celebrities who made posts unrelated to the demonstration at the height of the event were called out for being disconnected from reality.

Others were urged to make themselves available at the demonstration grounds to support the cause and demand better from the government.

However, Edem believes that people must not be forced to join a cause especially when they have their own ideologies and can decide for themselves.

“That's a certain level of psychological bullying of somebody who is an individual…If you believe that you have to bully an artist to go for a demonstration, do you also believe that an artist should bully you for you to attend their concert?” he quizzed

“Because when it is time for their concert and they tell you, you tell them that ‘I don't have money for it’ and so you cannot bully an artist. I'm sure that the ones who also went, some of them had backlash that they went for PR and so the truth is that you cannot live up to people's expectations,” Edem noted.

He said that people should not be seen at demonstration grounds because they have been forced to appear but because they have demands and are personally connected to the cause.
