Award-winning Ghanaian diva professionally known as Mzbel has chided netizens who put popular Instagram users in the same category as our showbiz stars.
According to Mzbel, such people can only be described as influencers and celebrities because there’s a vast difference between a celebrity and influencer.
Sharing her experience from her early days in music, Mzbel revealed on the Kastle Drive show that those days without social media, it took hard work for someone to be given the accolade as a celebrity hence it’s not a joke thing to be addressed as a celebrity.
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 also remarked that it’s unfortunate that social media users bestow the celebrity status on everyone who becomes popular on the internet especially Facebook and Instagram.
