Delomar bashes ‘social media begging’

Recording artiste Delomar takes a bold stance with his latest track, Taps & Roses, which was released under his label, RekitRalf Music.

The song addresses the increasing culture of 'social media begging', spotlighting the lengths some will go to exploit their platforms for monetary gain. It harshly critiques the extreme measures social influencers will resort to on platforms like TikTok to siphon money out of the pockets of their followers, which has given rise to another mode of scamming on social media.

" Taps & Roses is inspired by a viral video featuring a prominent male Jamaican TikToker who claimed he would do anything for money. That video really struck a chord with me. The blatant 'do anything for cash' approach is alarming. It's crucial to highlight this troubling trend through music and encourage a conversation on the integrity behind our social media personas," Delomar explained. "Using your platform to earn a living is one thing, but where do we draw the line? I felt compelled to voice out because we need to scrutinise and rethink this trend of extreme antics for cash."

Since its debut, the single has been spinning on major radio stations, receiving high praise from DJs and listeners. The song's candidness and forthright lyrics have resonated well, garnering acclaim for its catchy rhythm and provocative message. Despite backlash from the TikTok community, the track has stirred a significant conversation about the implications of social media influence and morality.
