He wants to be loved and tries to provoke to gain attention. This is the wrong way. I think, he is really sweet and just wants to be loved. He should not talk so bad about the Netherlands.

I barely watch any Dutch TV, but I bet he's been a part of the RTL/Videoland entertainment programs. I think I've seen him here and there in trailers/commercials for the shows. That doesn't mean I knew his name, or who he was at that time. But it's true what he said, it's Ziggy and you won't forget that name. Just because you guys didn't know him, doesn't mean he hasn't been on tv. Fame is something that cannot truly be measured, it also has different categories. How do you see Fame? I mean he might not have the reach as Ilse de Lange, or Paul de Leeuw, or another example might be that some might not know who Joost Klein was before he entered the Eurovision contest. While others (me included) already loved listening to his music, and he was certainly (already) famous. Though, agreeably the way he said "I am" felt a bit cringe, however, if you had said something in the sense of "I am an influencer, and have done Idols, and done some tv shows" it sounds not very positive and very insecure. You do not want to portray that energy in an audition or interview, you want to sell yourself. Give this guy a bit of slack, he probably was just as famous as Dutch 'famous' tiktokkers or KZreadrs (Nikki Plas comes to mind) that I would say are famous (though I don't follow them).
