Celebrity status comes with a lot of advantages and disadvantages. You might not be able to walk freely in town but then again you get a lot of followers on social media.
All celebrities are not the same. Some celebrities are down to earth while others are not. There are various ways to distinguish these two. Down to earth celebs never say no to a selfie request from a fan while those who are not do not even look the fan’s ways.
These two categories of celebrities can also be distinguished by simply looking at their social media activities. Some celebrities always reply to fans’ comments and some don’t. Some celebrities follow back some fans while others do not follow back at all.
Here is a list of some Kenyan celebrities who follow back very few people in comparison to the number that follows them.
