Khaled and The True Problem Obsessing Over Celebrities

I am trying to give Halle Berry a baby and no one can stop me...
"Drake"

Now, lets marinate on that statement. Quoted from the Drake featured verse on the Migos single "Versace", one can take the lyrics from face value or one can look more into it. Drake, an established MC, is known for loving the ladies. On his first album he stated his "love" for Nicki Minaj and wanting to marry her. They even had a "marriage" on one of her music videos and had a twitter marriage hoax a few years back. Proclaiming to want to give Halle Berry a baby, (despite the fact she is already married now) shows people that he in a position would do that with no hesitation. lyrics like his takes levels of THIRSTINESS (Thirsty, urban definition - Desperation) to another level. It is seeming more cool to be this way. Class is being thrown out the window for a lot of young men and now are looking like hungry drooling dogs waiting for a bone....

Lets Move on to DJ Khaled. Khaled known for his collaborative albums recently put a video with a ring wanting to marry Nicki Minaj. Now whether its for publicity or he is actually serious, lets really look at the facts. Why does he want to actually want to marry Nicki Minaj? Have they actually gone on dates? Are they even known as a couple? Are they even in Love? Why didnt he ask her on the Busta Rhymes - Twerk It video? (Nicki is seen dancing on Khaled 3.20 - 3.26 mins) We all know most entertainers have a marketing team since no one does anything free will anymore but, what was the purpose of this honestly? It has got a lot of people talking and maybe that was just the point.

The obsession with someone via an image is nothing new. Many people do it on a regular basis. People have posters on their walls idolizing celebrities. Ladies call a celebrity/musician their baby or their husband on a regular. Guys see an actress/musician they find attractive and say that's their wife or comment on her attractiveness. You see them on music videos, movies, the cameras are always on them, some people feel like they know an entertainer personally. The artist/celebrity can do no wrong in their eyes. They can say one word everyone goes crazy...the worshiping continues. Its cool to have celebrity crushes but when you actually propose to would you do it in a fashion that Khaled did, one just truly wonders why? Not only is it embarrassing, it is truly how a lot of people think these days. They don't have to know you personally, they know you over a created or projected image and think that's who you are. These entertainers are always on our TVs presenting this larger than life personality.

Overall, What does this marriage broadcast really do for anyone? 1) Creates gossip and this article. 2) It embarrasses Khaled's camp due to being affiliated with him, 3) It gives Nicki Minaj to either say yes or no in a public or quiet manner and 4) It just leaves more people looking at marriage as joke. When you view the Khaled proposal yourself here what he actually says..."I love you, I like you, I want you to be mine." Are those truly reasons to marry someone? Would he be doing this if Nicki was a non entertainer or because of this image they have created for, proposing to her live really makes him look as if he is accomplishing something? As some are waiting for what she will reply to DJ Khaled, he wins the award for thirstiest man of 2013. If he would have asked her to even go out on a date behind closed doors, she might have even said yes, but the way he handled it makes him look obsessed and now it would awkward to work on future projects together. Opinions? Comments?
