Explain to me (AA watching this show with very little context of these folks/African Culture) who are these people?

Explain to me who are these people and their place in the pop culture of African countries?

I am an older millennial AA who watched LHHATL/NY/LA in their primes. Rappers/singers who were once hot but cooled off & had to go to reality tv.

Ive watched shows like the Braxtons where there was one famous relative & the rest cling to their shine & made a career out of that.

BRAVO housewives shows are a fave & the youngest rapper I’m aware of is that DDG child.

Zari the boss lady, but no one on the shows explained what she actually does or has done (career wise). She is obviously in her 40’s (whoever her surgeon & stylist is, A+).

Naked, I’ve never seen dj’ing on this show. 2 marriages in & no one seems to discuss that.

Annie, I’m aware is basically like a BRAVO housewife-esque woman on this show. Famous because of her husband & stirs the pot but refuses to leave the cheater cus of the $$.

fantana— does anyone really listen to her music over in the Motherland? Or is she more just an instagram personality with terrible music (aka Bambi/Moniece/Amara Le Negra or any other lhh cast member)?

Swanky appears to be the 2nd most famous/successful out the group. GQ is a decent magazine brand, so to be honored with such a title/acknowledgment about his styling is great. His mixture of…well EVERYTHING, meshes African garb & modern clothing fantastically.

Diamond gives me… lil scrappy/Omarion vibes. Once really popular artist years ago but has cooled off? I maybe wrong about him because Im aware US popularity in music vs internationally popularity is so very different.

Nadia also gives like—LHHLA vibes. Not a negative person, Nicki Baby energy of “dont come for me”.

Also the costuming on this show—very over the top & is its own character to the story tbqh. The confessional looks are my fave.
