Hiplife ‘Grandpapa’ Reggie Rockstone has shared his thoughts on social media and its impact on society.

According to him, the current generation ‘has it tough’ because of the availability of smartphones and the internet.

Speaking exclusively to Patricia Rockson Hammond on GhanaWeb TV’s Moans & Cuddles, Reggie Rockstone highlighted the differences between his younger days and now.

He hilariously stated that community gossip served as their version of social media, keeping people in check through local perceptions.

“When I was coming up, I didn't have social media like y'all got. We had community gossip. That was our social media and it puts you in check because, people's opinions of you, shouldn't control your life, but also give you an idea of how people perceive, because perception is almost everything.”

He expressed concern over the challenges faced by today's youth, noting that scandals can quickly turn individuals into overnight celebrities.

“Right now it's a lot. Overnight, if your sex tape leaks you become a celebrity. It's going to be there forever. So your generation has it tough,” he stated.

“Our time we did unruly things but we didn't have smartphones and social media. If not the scandals I would have been involved in would have been a lot,” he added.

Speaking on how he deals with fame, Reggie Rockstone said cherishes his freedom and the ability to connect with people, adding that he values human interactions.

“I enjoy my freedom. I love to talk to people. I enjoy human beings. And, for me to come to a time in my life I can be free,” he said.
