Why Actor Kunle Remi Says He Feels Like Shutting Out Instagram

According to Ireporter Online, Nigerian actor Kunle Remi has spoken candidly about the emotional strain of social media, revealing that his experience on Instagram has become increasingly draining due to constant exposure to distressing news, online hostility, and negativity.

The actor noted that while he has at times considered stepping away from the platform entirely, he is unable to do so completely because his career has expanded beyond acting into branding, storytelling, influencing, and public engagement.

Remi explained that he often reminds himself of his responsibility to continue sharing positivity, humor, love, and meaningful stories, particularly in difficult times. He further described the act of opening social media platforms as something that now feels mentally demanding and requires emotional preparation.

Despite the challenges, he emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive presence online, urging users to be more compassionate in their interactions and to contribute light in an increasingly tense digital space. He added that promoting kindness and hope has become part of his broader responsibility as a public figure.

He was quoted as saying that social media has become “exhausting” due to its negativity and that individuals should strive to be “soft where the world is hard” and “hope where there is noise,” stressing that such positivity is needed now more than ever.
