Not being impressed by celebrities is the biggest flex. Remember, they are people, flaws in all. You can aspire to similar goals as some but being them, nope.

I used to find myself being so upset with my looks because I didn’t have a 613 55inch bust down or a bbl when In all reality those girls bbls are botched 😭 and that 613 55inch was free promo. These celebrities y are only cute when they have lighting, filters, botox, facelifts and lip injections.
YET YALL ARE BEING IMPRESSED BY HATING IN THESE COMMENTS because you here PRESSED and upset that you aren't them yet dressing and trying to look like them
I’m genuinely not phased by celebrities anymore …. Everyone is on a screen now. I can literally stream this video on my TV. The allure was more prevalent before they all had social media, they aren’t as mystique anymore. Especially seeing how trashy and tacky a lot of them live. Doing things lower than the “average “ person would. Ik there’s still a lot of people that are starstruck and want to be in company of celebrities and create a name for themselves to the point they sacrifice too much for it
I mean now a days anything ANYTHING can get u famous like anything can give u clout. When I was younger I wanted to be a singer or actor so bad. But seeing and hearing the toxic side of Hollywood I think I’m good a a viewer not a doer😂. But I’d love to get the money like them. I’d only do it for the cash
@@reyrey5259 same here I wanted fame my whole entire life but the older I get in the more I am exposed to the secrets of the industry the more I'm glad I never pursued heavily. At the end of the day I would prefer to keep my soul
Agreed ive been feeling like this 4 some years now. The talent is gone. Too many wannabes and everybody is doing the same thing and looking the same its very boring now. The industry needs and overhaul this includes the movke industry as well. Being famous now is way different than it was back in the day. But hollywierd was always hot ass mess alot of these celebrities are doing/did crazy things behind the scences. Its needs to be transformed asap. K rather be wealthy and unknown.
Its crazy how the “old” celebrities had their own sense of style, taste, personality, etc but the “new” celebrities/influencers all look the same. Same streetwear, same bundles, same nail tech, same G Wagon, same Rolls Royce, same housing aesthetic, even same vlogging videos. Theres no originality with these “new” celebrities.
I miss when everything was mysterious about real celebrities. The only time we’d catch tea was if we tuned into radio station or something popped off at an awards show.
I consider Beyoncé the last real celeb of my generation. We still really don’t know Beyoncé. She still has that mystery about her. I love it. She stays away from social media which has people looking for more!!!
Me too and I also consider Cardi B the next celebrity generational wise. She came up so fast through social media and memes and is still very much growing and faster than all her PEERS
I unfollowed every celebrity off my ig cause at the end of the day I don’t know any of these people & praising human beings I don’t know is weird to me.. it’s something good to outgrow fr
Celebrity and Influencers are not interchangeable in my opinion. Celebrities are international movie stars or world renowned singers. They are truly famous. Influencers come off of clout regardless if its manufactured or someone else’s. Most of their following is bought or really young children. They do anything to stay relevant and keep they name in the blogs.
Thank you there's no such thing as celebrity in 2022 these people are just influencers. The last celebrities were the people who came in in the 90s that's what it is. I was consider Mariah Carey a celebrity she was around in the in the 90s you know she has legendary music that would be played 60 years from now you know these new people are influencers not celebrities

Oh how I miss the mystique of the ‘celebrity’. They’re personal lives were relatively unknown. Plus, they earned their place due to their talent and whether they were well-liked or not, they had a skill. I think everyone now wants to be an influencer, but not to actually influence. It’s mainly just for the money, attention, and idolatry. An obsession with being the center of attention, not the legacy they leave behind. Everyone wants their 5 seconds of fame.
Celebrities should be ‘celebrated’ for the legacy they leave behind but influencers don’t care about what they promote to the world like you said. They really do anything for clout it’s sad
In my opinion celebrities back then we're on a whole different level and that's the tea. They just had that ✨✨✨, something these new wannabe "celebrities" have yet to replicate.
The allure of celebrity culture, to me, was not knowing about and having access to what in the past, celebrities used to e.g. plastic surgery, top-tier makeup artists, knowledge, wellness stuff and so on. I don't know about you, but this wasn't attainable for me while growing up. So, celebrities used to set the trends. Nowadays, to my upmost appreciation, I like how influencer culture brought this 'well-kept secrets' to light and I can choose what to incorporate into my life and be able to afford it. I don't think celebrities mean anything to me, now. I used to like Beyonce when I was a little girl, but the least she could do for me now is to sing a fire song and give a fire performance for me to appreciate her (she's not doing that for me right now!). She's only but an entertainer. I think I can't be *knowingly* influenced by today's celebrity culture because I'm only focused on doing me without wanting approval from others. I can't find myself breaking the bank to buy designer to look cool in the eyes of my peers (although I have had such thoughts because I am susceptible to being influenced by the very culture as it is so rampant). I just prioritize my happiness.
i wish we saw more celebs giving back and reinvesting into communities. i know there are wealthy non famous people and families who can also buy celebs themselves influence the culture. i see so many with mansions as big as hospitals, cars they don’t use and can’t even count on 1 hand. i’m sure there are many who give back privately but i wish we saw it more
I do too, or even how they went through the opening of a charity/fundraiser, how they picked the cause their trying to bring awareness too, what they do backstage or in the background to help or instead it’s easier for them to throw an event be working at a soup kitchen for example. I find all that stuff interesting so I would love to watch or read more on that, but then all we’re gonna see are the “you only doing this to boost your image and make yourself look good”, “you’re trying to stay relevant since you’re not working anymore/took a break”, “you know you could donate privately right? Either you showing off or you got alter motives or both”, “lol nice donation, don’t forget to tell your accountant to mark that on your taxes to get your money back”, “TAX BREAK!”, “how many of y’all actually think they donated? Pretty sure this all staged just so they can stay trending and on the algorithm”. Somehow donating and raising awareness to donate is now shamed upon now? I never knew helping others could ever be spun into looking like a bad thing, and because it is, I think they don’t really try being open about it in order to protect their brand or try being canceled over it. I mean it happened with Metallica when Stranger Things put them in the mainstream public eye, and even though people were bashing them for other things, people were bashing them over their fundraiser/foundation and it’s THEE largest charity by a metal band and it’s one of the few top largest charity by a band in general. It’s a damned if you damned if you don’t situation. If you donate privately, no one believes you and think you’re just saying that to say that so you can look like a better person, then you’re accused of being a liar, and when you prove yourself you still get backlash; if you don’t try proving yourself then you’re proving everyone right for being a fake. If you donate publicly, you’re just showing off, you’re bragging, to look like a better person, and that the donation doesn’t even matter cause it’s not hard earn money, the amount donated isn’t enough even though you as celebrity owns a staggering amount of cash so would it kill you to donate a little more?, and/or they’re gonna get their money back if not more from taxes and whatever residuals they get off posting it online on their multiple social media accounts. I know people have always said “do what you want cause they’re gonna talk about you anyways”, but now it’s to the hyper extreme! You can hardly enjoy being online anymore, share things, or comment because trolls are really looking over anything to fight about. You really can’t even do the most mundane of things without getting harassed. You can post yourself drinking water after a workout, and some trolls will start something like “ofc the little arrogant rich girl is drinking expensive water. You know there are people who don’t have access to water right? What are you doing about that- maybe you should think about that and instead those extra monies you spending on water can go to helping others, but then again what would you know because you’re privilege is showing.” You can post yourself finally getting the promotion you want and people will clown you for it: “felt like the need to brag? Didn’t even try being humble about it.” “Yeah good for you but you do know there still is a disproportionate level of unemployment right?” “What a great post to share online when a lot of people are still struggling and you’re talking about making more money when you already were making a good enough amount already- talk about greedy” “Meanwhile there are people working 3 jobs and 2 side hustles and still can barely get by and then we have people like this ^”. I can understand people going off when celebrities and influencers are out of touch and tone deaf, but I’ve seen people make these comments on both celebrity and lower following pages (like an account that might have a 2-3k or less following). Said part is I didn’t even have to make these things up- those are real things people have actually said 😩 it just came to mind and I’m sure others have said something similar to this, but in the words of Jack Harlow, “I don’t blame people *“who feel discouraged from sharing their blessings”* because it’s true and it gets exhausting sometimes even when you’re doing everything right”.
Thats not their job to fix the governments neglect of its citizens. Sure in an idealistic world that would be nice, but the government needs to do their job.
This is why I just do me! Idc about nun of these people fr! They no better than me just have more money and having money is not everything so I do not care
I liked celebrities back when social media wasn’t relevant their lives were more private. It’s like social media for celebrities is just for attention and advertising. People feel like they know their favorite celebrities just because of what they post often which is a false reality.
I was never phased by celebs even the ones I met in person. I have a few reality tv dudes and 1 actor in my DMs and I treat them like normal people. I'm not tripping and so far they're not that intelligent or doing anything very productive for humanity. At least I'm a teacher.
It's toxic. Having a following giving out bs advice, bad parenting and overall antics so exhausting. Social media got people big headed and delusional like chile sit down. You might be famous but not rich learn the place you in. Any bm to a celebrity or a rapper uh chile you a statistic. Way to show what you settle at. Clout isnt the wave.
Thank you for this video. Celebrity culture should not govern your life. It’s should be looked at in moderation and used not a blue print for everyday life. The ability to think for oneself can be compromised if celebrity culture consumes one’s entire life.
these new people of today are influencers NOT celebrities. Celebrities of the '90s and prior were different brunch. The reason why they have so many fans all over the world and people love them it's because you didn't know much about them you praise this Phantom person that you didn't know and it was just a beautiful moment when they told you something u were happy . People used to watch the award shows to see these people that have money look beautiful and dressed up nowadays you can get it at the top of your finger that's why I say old Hollywood is dead and they need to revive it. But to revive it that's throw out the Kardashians and everybody else that ushered in influencers culture We need to bring back old values. Good new school mixed with old school is a good combination. This new stuff is just not giving what it used to give. Celebrities back then worked hard to become a celebrity they pulled you in these new celebrities are boring and they're influencers. Celebrities are non-existent in 2022 it's like they're an instinct entity. The last of the celebrities is Mariah Carey people of that nature who came in at a time when Hollywood was still booming Hollywood needs to be revamped too. These lame movies they giving us is bad and all this sensitive woke culture has really did a number on American society we all need a reboot
I agree with you! Yes, celebrities used to be known for their craft, not for some petty ish. You are right, we didn't see our favorite celebs all of the time. When I was growing up in the 80s, there was this show that came on, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". It was so exciting to watch that show, because we got to get a peak at celebrity life. Also the awards shows were so dope!! You did NOT miss the Grammy's or American Music Awards, because that's when you saw your favorite singer perform. I still remember when Prince performed Purple Rain and it brought tears to my eyes. I miss the old days.
That sentence where you said that we get dopamine from envisioning our lives through them was so interesting to me because now I can’t listen to a song without envisioning myself as a artist singing it and it sucks cause I’ve never able to just enjoy a song for what it is but it’s interesting how there’s a reasoning for that & it’s b/c my brain wants dopamine
It's crazy how influencers are more popular than celebs. I never thought I'd see the day... people are more interested in seeing what Ari got going on over Chloe Bailey.
I have way to much pride. To treat another human being like they royality all because they sing or make movies. Stand in line to see them… for a Fukin human lol 😂 hell not
Yay new vid 😊 I think influencers are somewhat can have the "celebrity" title due to them able to work and connect with people though the internet. But I believed they are not in the same level as other recognizable celebrities like Tom Hanks, Beyonce, Zendaya, and others. They all are admired due to their talent and work they done that many people remembered them for. There is also that ranking that people do with celebrities like A list to C list. 😦
The need to be seen and relevant really is not it. All I know is that I worry about the road we are heading. Yes we talk and say let people live and do what they want but we have to remember that as long as we are members of a community or society, whatever a group does eventually filters on to us.
It's interesting you mentioned your assumptions on the percentage of how many people would be interested in being famous. I was listening to a podcast on something called collective illusion. 'Collective illusions” is a situation where most people in a group go along with an opinion they don’t agree with, simply because they incorrectly believe that the majority also agrees with it." There's research showing what people truly want by asking them an array of questions that are called private opinion methods that are very difficult to fake. They found that across 76 trade off questions fame came dead last. They mentioned most Americans believe others desire fame but in reality it's not even close. However pushing this collective idea unknowingly has the ability to teach the younger generation that's what they should want because we think that's what everyone else wants 😅 Very interesting study
I truly enjoyed learning about how mysterious and what not celebrities in the past were (Which must be a reason why because i've seen alot of ppl lately making videos and content around celebrities in past time). Now and days, everybody WANTS you to know they business because it gives them clicks. I honestly don't feel alot of "celebrities" that are out now are actual true celebrities. When I think of celebrities, I believe global, world known when most of these ppl are just West known and even some ppl who don't have social media have no clue who they are. I do not care to know about normal people lives so I truly couldn't care about celebrities. Although my career path is in entertainment, I don't need my personal life out there when I am seriously just here to create & bring an impact. That's what I care about and I feel as we lost sight of that.
Your interviews will be sooo genuine, engaging, & enlightening! I’m so looking forward to that endeavor of yours. 🤩 Thank you for the quality & insight you provide!
I want those that put their children out there to truly look at the likes and views they get when the children are involved and understand that this is not necessarily a good thing because many of the watchers and followers are up to no good with regard to the children
I honestly love the way you talk and how open minded you are. You give your opinion but also understand different perspectives, not bias, just truthful and pure
2:35 Someone please name these women left to right. I recognize pre BBL Jordan in the middle. Also, did she hang with these chicks before the Kardashians threw her out?
Tbh a lot of these so called celebrities now days are basically influencers that rap or baby moms/Dads or do TH-cam. These so called rappers that rap aren’t really rappers you got people that rap doin ONLYFANS or just posting pics on IG all the damn time they don’t have any talent man. I don’t see nothing wrong with wanting to be a somebody of celebrity. There’s alot of opportunity that comes with it. just don’t aimed to be worshipped or think your better than everyone
I think the term "adoration" is too much. We do love and admire them for their looks or their actions, brands etc... But that's not adoration, at least for me, cause I don't put them on a pedestal, for me they're still humans just like me and I don't think they are better than me just because they're famous, cause we should know that most of them are not perfect and don't have morals
These celebrities now days I don't know how people put on most of the Don't even have talent it's a mess but I don't let these celebrities dictate or define me🤷♀️
A lot of the celeb culture comes from people who aren’t focused on their own lives and their own dreams. I really think if we would all focus on following our own dreams or coming up with a million dollar idea for ourselves we wouldn’t even have time to focus on celebrities. Nor would we need to live vicariously through them since we’d be on the way to achieving our own success
I agree with you as far as the content like the TH-camr Gigi dimples I love her voice also her content but her voice is just so intriguing with you I love your videos and how you break things down as well
Keep up with the good work on your your tube channel I love it ppl just doesn’t like it when ppl keep it 100 that’s why I watch because you speak the truth so you go girl ...!!!!
I’m curious if you ever talked to your friend about it. She may have had a valid reason. I had a similar conversation with my former supervisor and she got mad and thought I was being a bitch but if you had something happen (there was a death in her family around the time of the party) or expressed discomfort it may have been her looking out. Just saying the mature thing would be to converse before cutting someone off. Unless you never really messed with them like that to begin with.
I love your video! I am not into the Instagram influenser thing (it usually makes me feel sad). For me TH-cam is another things since its giving me more of a parasocial infuence. And with celebrities I love blogs and gossip but in reality when I have met celebrities (like movies stars) I don't really give a shit. I am not from America but have been there a lot. But I know songwriter and people like that who makes songs for thats in America. We all know its a PR-machine where the celebes hang out with each other since its just a goood look (like some you think are smart are'nt, bc of who they are hanging around with etc). I just think of a not of it as a show! I but yes I do still adrime for celebrities and watch bcg/badddies and stuff like that. For me its just enetertainment and never something I want to be that bad (except from maybe having more money). I Think the most important thing is to know yourself before you look for fame! Its all an illusion and is something that won't get you educated as much in life (at least not in a healthy way).

She's only but an entertainer. I think I can't be *knowingly* influenced by today's celebrity culture because I'm only focused on doing me without wanting approval from others. I can't find myself breaking the bank to buy designer to look cool in the eyes of my peers (although I have had such thoughts because I am susceptible to being influenced by the very culture as it is so rampant). I just prioritize my happiness.
Well said !!
I just had this discussion with my bestie. It seems so draining and this celebrity/influencer culture has gotten so toxic is ridiculous.
i wish we saw more celebs giving back and reinvesting into communities. i know there are wealthy non famous people and families who can also buy celebs themselves influence the culture. i see so many with mansions as big as hospitals, cars they don’t use and can’t even count on 1 hand. i’m sure there are many who give back privately but i wish we saw it more
I do too, or even how they went through the opening of a charity/fundraiser, how they picked the cause their trying to bring awareness too, what they do backstage or in the background to help or instead it’s easier for them to throw an event be working at a soup kitchen for example. I find all that stuff interesting so I would love to watch or read more on that, but then all we’re gonna see are the “you only doing this to boost your image and make yourself look good”, “you’re trying to stay relevant since you’re not working anymore/took a break”, “you know you could donate privately right? Either you showing off or you got alter motives or both”, “lol nice donation, don’t forget to tell your accountant to mark that on your taxes to get your money back”, “TAX BREAK!”, “how many of y’all actually think they donated? Pretty sure this all staged just so they can stay trending and on the algorithm”. Somehow donating and raising awareness to donate is now shamed upon now? I never knew helping others could ever be spun into looking like a bad thing, and because it is, I think they don’t really try being open about it in order to protect their brand or try being canceled over it. I mean it happened with Metallica when Stranger Things put them in the mainstream public eye, and even though people were bashing them for other things, people were bashing them over their fundraiser/foundation and it’s THEE largest charity by a metal band and it’s one of the few top largest charity by a band in general.
It’s a damned if you damned if you don’t situation. If you donate privately, no one believes you and think you’re just saying that to say that so you can look like a better person, then you’re accused of being a liar, and when you prove yourself you still get backlash; if you don’t try proving yourself then you’re proving everyone right for being a fake. If you donate publicly, you’re just showing off, you’re bragging, to look like a better person, and that the donation doesn’t even matter cause it’s not hard earn money, the amount donated isn’t enough even though you as celebrity owns a staggering amount of cash so would it kill you to donate a little more?, and/or they’re gonna get their money back if not more from taxes and whatever residuals they get off posting it online on their multiple social media accounts.
I know people have always said “do what you want cause they’re gonna talk about you anyways”, but now it’s to the hyper extreme! You can hardly enjoy being online anymore, share things, or comment because trolls are really looking over anything to fight about. You really can’t even do the most mundane of things without getting harassed. You can post yourself drinking water after a workout, and some trolls will start something like “ofc the little arrogant rich girl is drinking expensive water. You know there are people who don’t have access to water right? What are you doing about that- maybe you should think about that and instead those extra monies you spending on water can go to helping others, but then again what would you know because you’re privilege is showing.” You can post yourself finally getting the promotion you want and people will clown you for it: “felt like the need to brag? Didn’t even try being humble about it.” “Yeah good for you but you do know there still is a disproportionate level of unemployment right?” “What a great post to share online when a lot of people are still struggling and you’re talking about making more money when you already were making a good enough amount already- talk about greedy” “Meanwhile there are people working 3 jobs and 2 side hustles and still can barely get by and then we have people like this ^”.
I can understand people going off when celebrities and influencers are out of touch and tone deaf, but I’ve seen people make these comments on both celebrity and lower following pages (like an account that might have a 2-3k or less following). Said part is I didn’t even have to make these things up- those are real things people have actually said 😩 it just came to mind and I’m sure others have said something similar to this, but in the words of Jack Harlow, “I don’t blame people *“who feel discouraged from sharing their blessings”* because it’s true and it gets exhausting sometimes even when you’re doing everything right”.
@@AdamIshak01 Exactly
Thats not their job to fix the governments neglect of its citizens. Sure in an idealistic world that would be nice, but the government needs to do their job.
This is why I just do me! Idc about nun of these people fr! They no better than me just have more money and having money is not everything so I do not care
Chioma, why you keep giving us so much good content consistently? I'm loving this, thanks for your dedication 💞
I liked celebrities back when social media wasn’t relevant their lives were more private. It’s like social media for celebrities is just for attention and advertising. People feel like they know their favorite celebrities just because of what they post often which is a false reality.
I was never phased by celebs even the ones I met in person. I have a few reality tv dudes and 1 actor in my DMs and I treat them like normal people. I'm not tripping and so far they're not that intelligent or doing anything very productive for humanity. At least I'm a teacher.
It's toxic. Having a following giving out bs advice, bad parenting and overall antics so exhausting. Social media got people big headed and delusional like chile sit down. You might be famous but not rich learn the place you in. Any bm to a celebrity or a rapper uh chile you a statistic. Way to show what you settle at. Clout isnt the wave.
Thank you for this video. Celebrity culture should not govern your life. It’s should be looked at in moderation and used not a blue print for everyday life. The ability to think for oneself can be compromised if celebrity culture consumes one’s entire life.
these new people of today are influencers NOT celebrities. Celebrities of the '90s and prior were different brunch. The reason why they have so many fans all over the world and people love them it's because you didn't know much about them you praise this Phantom person that you didn't know and it was just a beautiful moment when they told you something u were happy .
People used to watch the award shows to see these people that have money look beautiful and dressed up nowadays you can get it at the top of your finger that's why I say old Hollywood is dead and they need to revive it. But to revive it that's throw out the Kardashians and everybody else that ushered in influencers culture
We need to bring back old values. Good new school mixed with old school is a good combination. This new stuff is just not giving what it used to give. Celebrities back then worked hard to become a celebrity they pulled you in these new celebrities are boring and they're influencers. Celebrities are non-existent in 2022 it's like they're an instinct entity. The last of the celebrities is Mariah Carey people of that nature who came in at a time when Hollywood was still booming Hollywood needs to be revamped too. These lame movies they giving us is bad and all this sensitive woke culture has really did a number on American society we all need a reboot
100% Agree! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I agree with you! Yes, celebrities used to be known for their craft, not for some petty ish. You are right, we didn't see our favorite celebs all of the time. When I was growing up in the 80s, there was this show that came on, "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". It was so exciting to watch that show, because we got to get a peak at celebrity life. Also the awards shows were so dope!! You did NOT miss the Grammy's or American Music Awards, because that's when you saw your favorite singer perform. I still remember when Prince performed Purple Rain and it brought tears to my eyes. I miss the old days.
Michael Jackson was the ultimate. Celebrity to me. We don't have any like him anymore.
Are you a Gen X'er....
you seem to know, a little bit too much about the 90's. LoL 🤔

That sentence where you said that we get dopamine from envisioning our lives through them was so interesting to me because now I can’t listen to a song without envisioning myself as a artist singing it and it sucks cause I’ve never able to just enjoy a song for what it is but it’s interesting how there’s a reasoning for that & it’s b/c my brain wants dopamine
You're not alone😢...me too like ugh
It's crazy how influencers are more popular than celebs. I never thought I'd see the day... people are more interested in seeing what Ari got going on over Chloe Bailey.
I don’t follow any of those IG baby mommas who had kids with rappers. The only thing they influence is beauty that’s highly unattainable
these sellouts been a dub 🥱 glad more people are catching on .
financial freedom should be the only goal.
I have way to much pride. To treat another human being like they royality all because they sing or make movies. Stand in line to see them… for a Fukin human lol 😂 hell not
Yay new vid 😊 I think influencers are somewhat can have the "celebrity" title due to them able to work and connect with people though the internet. But I believed they are not in the same level as other recognizable celebrities like Tom Hanks, Beyonce, Zendaya, and others. They all are admired due to their talent and work they done that many people remembered them for. There is also that ranking that people do with celebrities like A list to C list. 😦
And influencers are Z LIST
@@se2664 🤭🤭 bruh I put them in c, d ,or f tier depending who talking about. 👀
Im going to cleanse myself and unfollow these people because its a lot 😢
No you ain't! You cappin.
The need to be seen and relevant really is not it. All I know is that I worry about the road we are heading. Yes we talk and say let people live and do what they want but we have to remember that as long as we are members of a community or society, whatever a group does eventually filters on to us.
Exactly and if “everything goes” then that means we lose balance, morals and values which affects us all
It's interesting you mentioned your assumptions on the percentage of how many people would be interested in being famous. I was listening to a podcast on something called collective illusion.
'Collective illusions” is a situation where most people in a group go along with an opinion they don’t agree with, simply because they incorrectly believe that the majority also agrees with it."
There's research showing what people truly want by asking them an array of questions that are called private opinion methods that are very difficult to fake. They found that across 76 trade off questions fame came dead last.
They mentioned most Americans believe others desire fame but in reality it's not even close. However pushing this collective idea unknowingly has the ability to teach the younger generation that's what they should want because we think that's what everyone else wants 😅
Very interesting study
Thank you for this 🙏🏾👌🏾
If my kid wanted to be an influencer I'd honestly write them out my will. I'm dramatic I know.
I don't blame U🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't blame you though influencers tend to be very narcissistic and slightly annoying
I'd disown them too😂
Just a little bit dramatic sis 🤏🏾👀😭
😂😂😂
I’ve never been celebrity obsessed, yes I admire some but if I see them in person, I wouldnt rush to meet them
8:46 this picture is haunting 😂 1,000 cameras on one person. Honestly why though
I really like the points you made and keep doing your thang 👏🏾
Yesss the Queen is back!!!!✨💖💗💗💗💕
all the girls in the thumbnail look like they could be related in some capacity
I call it the mannequin effect.... where do to the heavy make-up, everyone starts lookin alike.
Absolutely Not😭
I truly enjoyed learning about how mysterious and what not celebrities in the past were (Which must be a reason why because i've seen alot of ppl lately making videos and content around celebrities in past time). Now and days, everybody WANTS you to know they business because it gives them clicks. I honestly don't feel alot of "celebrities" that are out now are actual true celebrities. When I think of celebrities, I believe global, world known when most of these ppl are just West known and even some ppl who don't have social media have no clue who they are. I do not care to know about normal people lives so I truly couldn't care about celebrities. Although my career path is in entertainment, I don't need my personal life out there when I am seriously just here to create & bring an impact. That's what I care about and I feel as we lost sight of that.
Your interviews will be sooo genuine, engaging, & enlightening! I’m so looking forward to that endeavor of yours. 🤩 Thank you for the quality & insight you provide!
Chioma! If you haven’t already check out the channel Wildheart Waves! She is amazinggggg! The truth!
I shouted her out a few months ago on my channel. Love her content!!
I liked it better when everyone was not so accessible through social media
I understand all this completely I've been trying to tell em for years.
Yes. Instagram is a messssss! 😭😭😭💔💔💔
Lol. Zendaya the only photogenic one in that Thumbnail. 😂🤣😃
Bcs she's half white?(aside from Kylie)💀 Literally stop.
Chioma causally shooting stray bullets at chrisean and blueface.. damn😅😅😅
lol I had to 😅
This video is basically ministering to the culture!!! Keep bringing awareness 💯❤️🔥
I want those that put their children out there to truly look at the likes and views they get when the children are involved and understand that this is not necessarily a good thing because many of the watchers and followers are up to no good with regard to the children
Well done Chioma 👏🏽
Honestly it’s very odd to me to praise another human. We make these people feel like gods. And wonder why they act the way they do.
I honestly love the way you talk and how open minded you are. You give your opinion but also understand different perspectives, not bias, just truthful and pure
2:35 Someone please name these women left to right. I recognize pre BBL Jordan in the middle. Also, did she hang with these chicks before the Kardashians threw her out?
Ryan Destiny on her right and Lori Harvey on her left. I don't know the other ladies
The one the left of Jordan is normani
Thanks for the vid queen❤️ listening to it on my walk.
Queen Latifah keeps it classy, multi-talented and private. Bring it on 🤡 clowns!!!!
Chioma definitely went to college and graduated
Tbh a lot of these so called celebrities now days are basically influencers that rap or baby moms/Dads or do TH-cam.
These so called rappers that rap aren’t really rappers you got people that rap doin ONLYFANS or just posting pics on IG all the damn time they don’t have any talent man.
I don’t see nothing wrong with wanting to be a somebody of celebrity. There’s alot of opportunity that comes with it. just don’t aimed to be worshipped or think your better than everyone
Glad You Back
Another Successful Video
They are just people after all!
I think the term "adoration" is too much. We do love and admire them for their looks or their actions, brands etc... But that's not adoration, at least for me, cause I don't put them on a pedestal, for me they're still humans just like me and I don't think they are better than me just because they're famous, cause we should know that most of them are not perfect and don't have morals
Love it, super spot on
I honestly have little desire for fame but I would 100% take the money.
These celebrities now days I don't know how people put on most of the Don't even have talent it's a mess but I don't let these celebrities dictate or define me🤷♀️
I was really vibing to the song at the end!
A lot of the celeb culture comes from people who aren’t focused on their own lives and their own dreams. I really think if we would all focus on following our own dreams or coming up with a million dollar idea for ourselves we wouldn’t even have time to focus on celebrities. Nor would we need to live vicariously through them since we’d be on the way to achieving our own success
No one has morals anymore ijs
Still waiting on you to drop that song in the outro 😭🙏🏾
Me too!
I could totally listen to this style that you do with the chats on Spotify all day (podcast platform). Keep doing what you doing boo! 🙌🏽✨

Can you talk about vidéo vixen?
something important for young folks to remember: "never meet your heroes, kid!"
Love your videos and I especially love the discussion here. Thanks for this one!
I agree with you as far as the content like the TH-camr Gigi dimples I love her voice also her content but her voice is just so intriguing with you I love your videos and how you break things down as well
Keep up with the good work on your your tube channel I love it ppl just doesn’t like it when ppl keep it 100 that’s why I watch because you speak the truth so you go girl ...!!!!
Every time I hear your outro snippet I always feel like I’m on the islands 🕺🏾
We need Celebrities!!!!! What else would America do? That’s our #1 export😩😩😩😩
You never disappoint
I don’t blame ppl for wanting the clout. It brings in the money.
Is the song at the end of the vid out on Apple Music?
These people is so matrixes God help them all
You said a whole word in this video....
I’m curious if you ever talked to your friend about it. She may have had a valid reason. I had a similar conversation with my former supervisor and she got mad and thought I was being a bitch but if you had something happen (there was a death in her family around the time of the party) or expressed discomfort it may have been her looking out. Just saying the mature thing would be to converse before cutting someone off. Unless you never really messed with them like that to begin with.
Dope video! ❤️
Great commentary!
I love your video! I am not into the Instagram influenser thing (it usually makes me feel sad). For me TH-cam is another things since its giving me more of a parasocial infuence. And with celebrities I love blogs and gossip but in reality when I have met celebrities (like movies stars) I don't really give a shit. I am not from America but have been there a lot. But I know songwriter and people like that who makes songs for thats in America. We all know its a PR-machine where the celebes hang out with each other since its just a goood look (like some you think are smart are'nt, bc of who they are hanging around with etc). I just think of a not of it as a show! I but yes I do still adrime for celebrities and watch bcg/badddies and stuff like that. For me its just enetertainment and never something I want to be that bad (except from maybe having more money). I Think the most important thing is to know yourself before you look for fame! Its all an illusion and is something that won't get you educated as much in life (at least not in a healthy way).
You need to start making 30 minute videos 😔
Lol funny because I cut my videos down thinking they’re too long 🙃 I guess I can keep the longer content.
Hey girl
