DO DRUGS MAKE OR BRAKE THE IMAGE OF OUR WELL-KNOWN ARTIST IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY?

For many years, the relationship amongst drugs and creativity has always been a recurring love affair, a juicy taboo that questions inspiration and credibility behind music.

The truth remains that some of the most respected legends and creators of all time were known or suspected to have dropped a substance or two (if not addicted) for a little inspiration enhancement. Now this is where PR comes in, does this makes the duty of PR people easy or difficult? because we all know that PRP's can make or brake them... well I will let you decide on that one

Here is an example that got us totally intrigued

our one and only well-known and loved Bieber is on drugs and does not deny it he also wrote on his close reading instagram where he was stating that he is not going to rehab, how does this impact on his image? I'll be waiting for your view on this one my friends.. we all know that things have not being so good for Bieber does this continue to make him an iconic figure in the public or does it ruin his reputation? here is also a video proving that Bieber is on drugs and does not hide it.

  1. Drug addiction being used by public figures is not news to our ears especially from an international celeb. well from my point of view I lost all the respect I had for him because of such things, we have lost lots of icons because of such behaviour but despite his usage of drugs, he still has multitudes of fans around the world.

  2. This is a bad image for celebrities because young people look up to them as role models and tend to think that anything celebs do is cool.

    1. I agree with you on that one phumi because a lot of young people look up to them and follow their foot steps, hence we are faced with a high rate of drugs usage and many other bad things.

  4. We must not forget that brands are also people and thet have activities that they have adapted and can nomlonger live without therefore we should look at what good they do not what they do in their private life.

  5. Drugs kill the reputation of our celebrities because they get addicted and that hampers their career.

  6. Being a role is hard, just like JB is on drugs, as you mentioned, his beliebers might want to try them out since they see him as a role model.

  11. A lot of people will have different views about this matter, they may see it as a good or bad thing. But from a brand perspective, such as Bieber, it is not good because he is a role model and using drugs outside the comfort of his home sends out a wrong message to his fans.

  13. Bieber disclosing to public that he is on drugs and yet doing nothing about the problem will definitely destroy his image...
