Laika Music Explains Why She Chooses Not to Respond to Insults from Fans

Rising singer Laika Music has opened up about why she chooses not to respond to insults from fans online or in public.

Speaking in a recent interview, Laika said she always thinks twice before replying to negative comments.

According to her, it is important to consider the situation of the person behind the insult.

“I don’t know what that person is going through. Maybe they haven’t eaten or they are struggling in life,” Laika explained. “So I ask myself—how can I judge or fight back when I don’t know their condition?”

She added that mental health is another reason she stays calm when attacked.

Laika believes some of the people who insult celebrities might be going through depression or emotional problems.

“I can’t be quick to respond because I don’t know the mental state of that person. They could be facing serious challenges,” she said.

Laika’s response has been praised by many fans as a sign of maturity and emotional intelligence.
