Artist manager and Music producer, Bullet has opined that the decision by the Food and Drugs Authority to ban celebrities from endorsing alcoholic products is senseless.
According to him, the actions by the FDA against celebrities is like stopping Ghanaians from earning their daily bread.
“We might be celebrities but at the end of the day we are all Ghanaians. We have to eat and if you think our influence as celebs is going to have a negative impact on kids, then it means we have enough power to create a positive influence. We can influence these kids to avoid alcohol until they are of the legal age which is 18.” Bullet averred.
Bullet further advised the government to stop interfering in celebrity endorsements because it’s their source of income.
