After his remarkable performance at Kilambo Lounge over the weekend, talented Mozambican artist Killua Rafael couldn't contain himself, and on Monday morning, he took to his Facebook page to share images from the event and vent with a motivational message. "In the midst of the storm, never give in. We must persist with the certainty of overcoming all obstacles, even knowing that critics are always there to do what they do best: 'criticize,' because no one throws stones at a fruitless tree."“
Soon, internet users reacted, leaving a variety of comments that reflect a division of opinions.
Some followers showed support for Killua Rafael, with one user saying, "Go get your principles, brother. We'll be waiting for you right here." Another follower added, "We criticize attitudes. That doesn't mean we don't love you, we just don't like certain attitudes. When we speak out, it's so that change can happen, comrade." Furthermore, there was a call for recognition of the public's role in building his career: "Recognize that the people made you, and you are acting badly against those same people. Don't feel envious; you are not more important than anyone else. We are fighting for the good of the Mozambican people."“
However, amidst so many critical comments, there were also messages of fervent support. One emphasized: "It's true, brother, the path is forward; the envious will always be there. May God bless you." Another comment simply congratulated the artist on his work.
Therefore, on Killua Rafael's page, we see a mix of constructive criticism and fervent support, highlighting the complex relationship artists have with their audiences. While some voices raise questions and concerns, others continue to support and admire the Mozambican artist's work.
