Lately, weâve seen celebrities post all kinds of stuff on social media that backfired on them. One of those celebrities was singer Ariff Bahran. Recently, the singer, who is now active in trading, posted a TikTok video of him seemingly boasting about his wealth as he showed off stacks of cash placed idly in his refrigerator.
He also uploaded a few other similar videos, including one where he supposedly paid for a car with a large amount of cash. Hereâs what the 25-year-old had to say after being called out for being boastful and ignorant by netizen:
In a recent interview with mStar, the singer said heâs not offended by the backlash. According to him, getting offended by the comments means he doesnât understand the workings of social media. He said, âIâm okay (with it) because if I take the netizenâs word to heart and feel down about it, thatâs just a sign that I donât know how social media works.â
The singer explained that his videos are merely for fun and that his followers understand that he actually keeps his money in banks but prefers to use cash for certain commitments. He also mentioned that he didnât expect the videos to go viral, saying, âWhen I share about my songs, no one seems to care, but a lot of people seem to be curious when I share about my private life.â
Ariff also shared how he feels about the comments telling him to donate his money instead of showing it off. According to him, the singer understands what itâs like to struggle in life, especially if youâre young and just starting your career, so heâs always open to lending financial help to those who need it.
Well, we canât say we support his actions or his videos. But, at least Ariff understands what social media is really like â and thatâs hard even for many of us.
