In an era where social media often turns acts of kindness into performative displays, Liberia’s most celebrated singer, Cralorboi CIC, is taking a different approach, one rooted in quiet generosity.
The award-winning artist recently opened up about why he refuses to publicize his charitable deeds, sparking conversations about authenticity in an industry increasingly driven by optics.
In a heartfelt social media post, CIC revealed that a colleague had questioned why he doesn’t share the support he provides to fellow artists and others in need. His response was simple yet profound:
“When I do good, I do it from the heart and not for public validation. I do it because I see the need to, not because I need applause or people online to see me as a saint.”
The singer, known for hits like “Congratulations”, emphasized that true giving should be measured by its impact, not by the recognition it garners.
While CIC didn’t name anyone, his words have led to speculation about whether they were directed at younger artists who actively publicize their philanthropy. Some fans pointed to rising star JZyNo, whose recent involvement in the SIO promotion campaign has been heavily documented online.
However, CIC made it clear that his message wasn’t about calling others out, but rather about staying true to his own principles.
“You [can] line everyone up and make them believe you’re a good person,” he wrote. “I tell them… you deserve the help, that’s why I offered. I don’t even need a thank you. That’s how weird I am.”
With 10 years in Liberia’s demanding music industry, CIC credits his longevity and peace of mind to one thing: focusing on the work, not the noise.
“You only need a year in this industry to run mad,” he joked. “I’ve been here for 10 and still sane. My secret? Focus on your work. That’s more important.”
CIC ended his post with a powerful reminder: “Do good with pure intentions.”
His stance has resonated with fans and peers alike, sparking debates about the fine line between raising awareness for causes and seeking personal validation.
One thing is certain, Cralorboi CIC isn’t just making hits; he’s setting an example, one silent act of kindness at a time.
What do you think? Should good deeds be shared to inspire others, or does true kindness thrive in silence? Let us know in the comments.
