Influencer Cassypool has accused veteran artists of using the anti-Finance Bill protests as a means to gain publicity. He claimed that many were attending these protests primarily to take photos and then leaving, suggesting their motive was to revive their waning careers.
In response, veteran artist Jua Cali dismissed Cassypool’s claims, stating that these accusations were merely a distraction from the real issues being protested. Jua Cali emphasized that the artists’ participation was genuine and focused on the cause rather than personal gain.
During an interview, Cassypool reiterated his belief that the protests were being exploited by some artists for fame. He pointed out that there were individuals who only appeared at the protest sites for photo opportunities, especially where teargas was involved, before quickly leaving the scene.
