question What is the difference Zim celebrities, socialites and felebrities?

A concise answer is that in Zimbabwe there are three tiers of popularity and fame:
  1. Zim celebrities
  2. Zim felebrities
  3. Zim socialites (or slay queens & blessers).

1) The first tier of Zim celebrities encompasses individuals who are in most cases respected for their genuine contribution to Zimbabwean music, fashion, Arts & Culture.

Then you have got, on the other hand, Zim celebrities who are wildly popular in Zimbabwe for controversial things e.g. leaking personal videos that propel them to being famous.


2) Zim Felebrities are just your daily average people that use social media to highlight current affairs in the Zimbabwean community.

But there are also Zim felebrities who are outright lunatics when they go live on social media because all they do is cause drama, makuhwa, havoc, and too much unnecessary commotion. In short, these Zim felebrities, do anything for clout.


3) Lastly, Zim socialites are pretty much slay queens and upcoming IG models who use the strategy of interacting with already established Zim celebrities by hanging out with them at parties and behind the scenes, some will be getting sponsorship from "big belly blessers."

Zim celebrities are persons generally respected for their talent & business acumen, while Zim felebrities are internet personalities that are basically trying to be Zim celebrities using social media platforms.

Aren't you generalizing to the extreme by saying "...Zim felebrities are trying to Zim celebrities..." because there are some individuals who become popular without attempting to be famous except just being true to themselves?

My point still stands correct because the majority of Zim felebrities are clearly obsessed with social media validation from receiving loves and likes.

Your list is questionable.

Olinda Chapel-Nkomo is 'MORE POPULAR' than Madam Boss, Mai Chisamba, Comic Pastor Stunner, Alick Macheso & Ammara Brown. ??

Alick Macheso hasn't been relevant especially in this new generation. OC is more relevant than him if we are talking strictly about current popularity.

Bruh, Alick Macheso he just did a song with Freeman - "Ngaibake" which was well received.

Of course, Alick Macheso isn't of the social media era of "clout" but y'all can't say OC is more popular than him. Oh, hell no. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
