Maybe I'm old and maybe because I'm nobody but I don't see how either one of them had social media on the mind.

Maybe I'm fukked up but who knows
We in that era. I remember this girl got in a car accident that killed her sister and jumped on live crying talking about it minutes after it happened. Social Media got nikkas minds warped. I can see Cin just wanting to let people know she's okay, since a lot of people were praying for her. But yeah, I wouldn't be doing it. But I'm also from a whole different era.

Between the characters he has to deal with

The no-shows from battlers (whether them being drug attics, locked up, shot)

Dealing with battlers who wait to address their grievances with him, in his face on stage (ex. B-Dot)

Chokers

Incidents like when all the battlers thought a ppv grossed 3 million, and were trying to stage a strike for their cut.

nikkas like Math Hoffa, Daylyt, Trick Trick, Mook etc.. making his product look hostile/unmarketable and potentially deterring Cac investment

Entities with more resources than him,, infringing on his market (Total Slaughter, Snoop Doggs bullshyt, Cassidy's league :troll:)

Literally standing through 100's of hours of :trash:nikkas struggle raps and pretending that shyt hot just to show his face/establish himself as a brand.



Outside of real nikka time, the shyt he's had to endure yet persevere through in order to finess them cacs for millions is inspiring. nikka needs his flowers :salute:



I :mjcry: everytime I see my nikka lit enjoying life

Seeing it written out like this, no wonder Smack is clearly a raging alcoholic.

You're just old breh, lol.

Posting your life on social media is instinctive to a lot of people now. It's not out of the ordinary, or "clout chasing", or anything like that at this point, it's just second nature.

I see this as the same thing as somebody calling their mom or calling their best friend after an incident like this happened, it's just what people do.

And Atlanta gotten even more crazier lately. A lot of shootings, breaking into cars, robberies in broad day light.

Not only that but these goofies put all their movements on social media. A quick look will tell you that Hitman was probably in Kansas City when this was going down.

This. Anybody with anything to lose should stay off the shyt unless it's promotion. If you have enemies, you're giving them free information.

That's the MAIN downside to social media.

If anyone is ever trying to set you up, they either know where you are or can find out very easily. You don't even have to be famous, you just have to be Facebook friends with someone. I could probably look through my friends list right now and tell you where at least half of those people are right now just based on them posting recently.

Glad she’s stable but yea over sharing on social media immediately after something happens is clout chasing regardless of the era & like @Zero & @FreshAIG i’m in my early 30’s..Either people or gonna “like” it or comment & ask what happened/prayers up bro, it just screams “I want attention” even if subconsciously they don’t realize it..It baffles me on how when shyt happens the first thing people do is run to the net to share their business with strangers

Also I hate to seem like I’m piling on son but he’s the same dude who went to social media & aired out his own brother so anything involving doing too much on social media is pretty much on brand for him

I'm in my mid 30's and am the kind to rarely share anything on social media. But to play devils advocate, would these guys be as popular and rich as they are if it wasn't for oversharing on social media?
