A concise answer is that in Zimbabwe there are three tiers of popularity and fame:
- Zim celebrities
- Zim felebrities
- 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."
