Stop calling popular Instagram users celebrities – Mzbel tells Ghanaians

Mzbel, a Ghanaian singer, has educated Ghanaians about what it takes to achieve celebrity status. And, in her opinion, not everyone who is famous on social media wants to be called a star.

Mzbel shared her perspective from her early days in music on the Kastle Drive show, revealing that in the days before social media, it took a lot of hard work to be recognized as a star.

“In the 1990s when we started music, social media wasn’t there so for you to get an opportunity on radio or TV or appear on a front page of a newspaper, your works must have gotten to a level that makes you deserve that privilege”, she said.

Well, to her understanding, everyone who becomes famous on social media, especially Facebook and Instagram, is considered a celebrity.

Belinda Nana Ekua Amoah, better known by her stage name Mzbel, is a Ghanaian Hiplife singer. She has long been known for her provocative qualities, having always played controversial music and following it up with controversial remarks that are sure to have her fans talking.
