Driemo’s career isn’t as solid as the likes of Kelly Kay. Yes, he has the numbers, and people enjoy his music because it feeds into their illusions about love much like audiences who get drawn into Shakespeare's folktales.
But here’s the difference: Kelly Kay can survive baby mama scandals, Martse's death allegations, and still remain unshaken because his career is deeply rooted. His foundation has been tested over time; it cannot easily be shake
Driemo, on the other hand, doesn’t have that kind of stability. His rise was almost overnight. Of course, he is talented and deserves recognition, but with such fragile grounding, he must be extremely careful about what he says in public.
The Rashley issue is the perfect example. Yes, Driemo raised a point, but Rashley’s downfall was shaped by many contributing factors: his flop performance at the Sand Festival, the controversy surrounding his album intended as a dedication to his wife or son and the sexual scandal which, in truth, wasn’t even that serious.
The irony is that Driemo himself could easily be the next victim.
Artists who rise too quickly are always surrounded by the threat of cancellation. One careless statement, and the same audience that elevated you will replace you without hesitation.
Contrast this with Kelly Kay, who has been active for over a decade.
Longevity builds resilience it makes cancellation harder. The same pattern applies Drake’s foundation is too deep for casual cancellation, whereas DaBaby lost footing almost instantly because his base wasn’t as strong.
That’s why when Driemo commented on Rashley, it didn’t sound like advice it sounded like mockery. And while some may defend him, let’s not pretend.
We all know the real issue: people think Rashley was “cancelled” by scandal, while others argue he simply lost consistency.
But that reasoning is weak we have artists like Fong who drop average music and remain relevant.
When someone is already struggling for a comeback, adding mockery to their wounds isn’t wisdom it’s cruelty. And that, in itself, is sad.
