If you spend the best part of your existence striving for greatness and recognition for what you do, as soon as you get there and people talk about you like they definitely will, sanity demands that you don't get so worked up over what is being said about you. The goal of what you have attained is not just for the hype thereof, but to create an identity that will inspire a great many even after you are long gone. See Muhammed Ali.
Hello?
Celebrity means the state of being famous or talked-about.
It cannot be favourable all the time. Haven't you heard some people say that Mandela was a sellout, Prophet Muhammad plagiarised the bible, and the current pope is a politician, but those are opinions for you. You can't stop them, especially today that the TMZs have made gossip a genre in contemporary media, it shouldn't be unusual for people to want to talk about famous people, just as it wouldn't be unusual to want to be associated with them.
If you know you are too sensitive to stand being at a position of attention, be nobody, or just stay behind, knowing that nobody will horn at a ride that's only following from behind.
