Social media made y'all way to comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." -Mike Tyson He did the right thing getting off of social media. Moving in silence is the best thing these days. Didn't know he wrote Umbrella tho, that track is still a banger in 2022.
And what these corny, swamp- dwelling trolls fail to realize is that is being mean on social is a reflection of your own insecurities. This man will eat well off of writing hits for the rest of his life and these fools will still he trolling and have nothing to show for themselves. Good for Taio for prioritizing his mental health.
I agree.. 💯💯💯 Being an ahole on social media is a reflection of their own insecurities.... It costs NOTHING to not comment if you don't have anything nice to say.... Literally NOTHING
He did the right thing.. In a fairy tale world everyone would be nice on social media but its a mean place. Take that break and live in REAL life.. I let all of mine go except for ig and I go on there once a week.. The world needs a break because it's really not healthy to live on your phone... I wish him nothing but the best
Social media is an entity. It’s the ppl on social media who’re cruel and say mean things. Ppl feel a sense of power when they’re on social media, to say anything. Even things they’d never say in person. Sadly, that’s how the world is. Someone may see you in person and will think negatively of you. Yet, when they see you on social media, they’d tell you what they really think of you. Very sad.
Huge respect for this man. Our lives were not meant to be scrutinized by every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a smartphone. I wish other “celebrities” would follow his lead and let their work do the talking. Social media was meant to be fun, upbeat, and positive. Now, it’s anything but that. Good for him. Keep moving in silence and let people wonder.
A legend from my generation. He came around at a time when we needed upbeat party music and he gave us all that. Incredible artist and his music stays on repeat!
Dude is one of the faces of 2010 music. Seriously higher, break your heart, dynamite. Straight bangers that played all the time on the radio that i still willing to still listen to this day. I always wondered what happened to this guy. Thanks, root.
That's not something to be that proud of! The last 10 years of music has been the worst in pop music history! Just compare the 70s or 80s pop to what is considered pop music today !! It's like comparing Gold to a Out of date Twinkie!
My cousin and I used to jam to Dynamite whenever it came on the radio back in 2011. I hope that he is doing well, social media can be such a cruel place.😞
I agree.. 💯💯💯 Being an ahole on social media is a reflection of their own insecurities.... It costs NOTHING to not comment if you don't have anything nice to say.... Literally NOTHING
I first discovered taio cruz for “I just wanna know” it was such a beautiful R&B track. I’ve noticed every time a British artist crosses over and becomes mainstream they fall off like Jay sean. But believe me they’re far more talented than any artist that’s around now. Taio deserves his flowers 💕
I always did wonder what happened to him. As good as social media is, it has sadly, created a way for some people to be so hateful. I hope he is doing well. Wishing him all the best.
He said something very important in his last IG post. Mental resilience can get you through everything. People overcome addiction and mental health problems every day, it just is what it is.
I don't blame him. I deactivated my Facebook account in the summer of 2020. I deleted IG in Nov last year. I only tweet on Twitter about the tv show Big Brother, so I'm rarely on there. It's not social media itself that's toxic, it's the people. It especially pisses me off when it's GROWN ass people who are being ignorant and cyber bullies. If you're over 30, you should definitely know better. Older people can't speak on the younger generation when some of them are doing the same shit. People have been such a constant disappointment, so it only made sense to not wanna keep seeing so much negativity and toxicity. TH-cam is just as bad, so you have to be mindful of who you subscribe to.
You do realise that people in their 20's are grown adults in society? Stop infantilising adults. Any adult knows what bullying is and should know right from wrong.
He always gave me anti-black vibes as a black British woman. He always had only white women in his videos and when challenged on this, he was actually quoted as saying 'maybe I'll never put a black woman in my videos.' Sorry he's always been a no for me. These self hating men always have this look as well, ewww. He's a pioneer for black males artists erasing black women from their videos and art. A true blueprint for the Jason Derulos etc.
Yeah I don’t like him either but I can’t lie and say that he didn’t leave an impact on my childhood. Break Your Heart was my most favorite song when I was like 6-7
Yes! I was hoping you would update us on what happened with Taio Cruz. He made catchy dance songs. You gotta have a thick skin when it comes to social media or just shut it off and live your best life!
OMG I WAS WONDERING WHY IT WASN’T MENTIONED!! The song was called “Higher” I use to listen to that song FAITHFULLY in 2011! I had it downloaded on my phone maaaan so many memories I miss this type of sound in music him and Jason Derlulo Neyo pit bull and even Usher adapted this sound.
He’s not credited on Umbrella at all. Like I looked everywhere. His real name isn’t even in there. I always read my credits. Plus I know who wrote that song since 2008.
If I'm correct, he also did a colab with Kylie Minogue that was pretty sweet, not mentioned here so thought I would. As for Social Media, it's a fairly toxic platform and encourages negativity.
You always learn something new everyday with these artists that never got recognition back in the day🤯. P.S: Can't wait for a video about Dondria Nicole. Thx👍
I agree.. 💯💯💯 Being an ahole on social media is a reflection of their own insecurities.... It costs NOTHING to not comment if you don't have anything nice to say.... Literally costs NOTHING
I did think she’s like a star sampled the line from Corinne bailey Rae song. I had no idea there was a law suit. Her song was on heavy rotation on ‘urban’ radio shows in the UK and then shortly after Taio released his song. Because there is a high pitched repeat of ‘like a star’, it sounds like a sample of her song
I had no idea Corinne Bailey did that 🙄 I use to like her now I’ll just stick with the music. That’s so petty the two songs don’t sounds the same she don’t own the name like a star etc. or likewise
What happens to their accent when PPLS from "Across the pond" start singing bc they always sound American.....they lose it like PPLS WHO lose that one sock after going washing
Can't let social media affect your reality.. as Man , you've to be stronger than that mentally.. However anyone can go online and type all sort of disrespectful stuff , this is why I don't have or interested in having IG, Twitter, TikTok or fb... Since it's birth I refuse to signup for such BS apps ..only thing I e in TH-cam for news and music etc..
Men have feelings too. Its not fair to shame someone for being vulnerable. If it doesn't affect you, that's great. But have more empathy for others who may struggle. And stop perpetuating harmful stereotypes about men- this is why some men become suicidal. They are shamed for being human
Everything ain't for everybody some people on social media just be cloud text chasing and they say rude things and they say mean things just to get a reaction and when you do things like that you letting the users know the people that send you back comments on social media you let them know that that's getting to you so that's why they do it to get attention but all attention is not good attention and all reactions is not good reactions
False! Taio Cruz quit music because the whole EDM genre is dead and it seems like that's just what he was good at. Furthermore, he is 43 years old, which is unfortunately well beyond the threshold for an artist who makes “trendy pop” music…

All facts.
Umbrella is one of Rihanna's best hits aside from Diamonds. Mike Tyson made a VALID point. A lot of these trolls are keyboard cowards! 😤

I never had social media up until last Sunday and people think I’m weird for it. NO, I have my sanity for it lol

yupppp
I still listen to Dynamite.
That's not something to be that proud of!
The last 10 years of music has been the worst in pop music history!
Just compare the 70s or 80s pop to what is considered pop music today !!
It's like comparing Gold to a Out of date Twinkie!
@@andysalter7192 ok you commented to just to hate or what?
@@andysalter7192 shut up the early 2010’s were great
A story on Jay Sean would be very interesting
I would watch that! I loved that song Down with Lil Wayne. I still play it.
TikTok is definitely not for everybody. I still stand by the fact that most celebrities should have a team handle their social media. 🤷
My cousin and I used to jam to Dynamite whenever it came on the radio back in 2011. I hope that he is doing well, social media can be such a cruel place.😞
Love his music it’s such a shame that we have to live in such a hateful and cruel world smh
Why I stay off most social media.
I agree.. 💯💯💯 Being an ahole on social media is a reflection of their own insecurities.... It costs NOTHING to not comment if you don't have anything nice to say.... Literally NOTHING
Much respect for TAIO!! This is why I don't be involved in a lot of social media much!

In high school at pep rally's, they stayed playing this man's music LBVS! I wish Taio the best & many blessings to him!
Lord, how did miserable people live their lives before social media comment sections.
Chile they started and kept up mess in real life. You know the messy folks at work, at church, in your book club…
@@marymiller6188 Add school to the mix.
Vexing and bullying everybody else. 😤

Love and respect to him. His multi skilled and talented. Obviously the industry did him dirty as they do with real talent.
He still gave us plenty of bops there was not a school dance without his music playing I can't wait for to do one about Jay Sean
HE'S A GOOD SINGER AND DANCER
Break Your Heart the original and remix with Ludacris are still bangers
that song is so annoying
He still has an ig he’s a very talented artist always liked him ❤️❤️
He said something very important in his last IG post. Mental resilience can get you through everything. People overcome addiction and mental health problems every day, it just is what it is.
He is so handsome, creative and talented. Keep your head up sir.
Negative comments are usually from losers and jealous people who have nothing going on in their lives .
👍🏿
Dam i was just singing his song. "break break break break your heart"🗣️💔
Yeeeees!
I have always wondered what happened to him and Iyaz. Do Iyaz next!
