Fanon:Nathan Banks (Celebrity): Difference between revisions

In August, Nathan took part in an anti-bullying campaign, in which he visited bullied children across the world and performed his song "Freeing Myself", which was written by Banks himself about his past experience with bullying in high school. The campaign gained a lot of media respect for Nathan, and his single "Freeing Myself" was released in November, and followed "New Glitz" in topping the charts in various countries. The music video for "Freeding Myself" became a huge talking point upon it's release; the video shows a young boy who walks around his school building - as he see's different teachers and students, they begin to mock him for various things. The teachers at Sunset Valley Elementry school complained about the video, claiming that Banks' portrayal of the teachers mocking the student was "''unfair and 100% false''". The matter became bigger when Banks refused to respond to the complaints, prompting the Head Teacher to file a lawsuit against Banks and his record label. The case was soon dropped, after Nathan eventually responded to the complaints, claiming that the video wasn't entirely about him, and that many students can feel victimised by their teachers as well as the students in schools. The controversy lead to the video for "Freeing Myself" becoming one of the most viewed Youtube videos ever, overtaking Tom Wordy and Lil Bling's "Stop Me", which held the record for the most viewed video on the video website.
