Hopewell Chin’ono, a journalist and outspoken critic of the Zimbabwean government, has set social media abuzz with his commentary on popular influencer Shadaya’s invitation ticket to welcome socialite Madam Boss for her BET welcome dinner scheduled for tonight.
The popular socialite found himself in a bit of a predicament lately. He was caught engaging in behavior that goes against the advice he regularly doles out to his male followers.
Shadaya publicly expressed his delight at having secured a gateway pass to Madam Boss’ welcome dinner through a now-deleted tweet. This admission drew the attention of journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, who took to his X account to question the influencer’s ethics.
“Got my invitation ticket, to welcome my sister Madam Boss for her BET welcome dinner tonight. Get your ticket and let’s celebrate together..” he posted.

Chin’ono queried how an alpha male like Shadaya, who often preaches against simping to his followers, could not act according to his own preached doctrine.
“What are you celebrating Shadaya? That she went to America and mixed with American stars?🤣🤣🤣🤣Is this not simping? Why would an Alpha celebrate going to BET awards?” questioned Hopewell.
This insightful inquiry sparked an interesting debate amongst Shadaya’s followers, who joined in on the conversation, playfully teasing the influencer about not practicing what he preaches.
Shadaya himself joined in the banter, keeping the mood playful while admitting his fault. He jokingly commented that he should have kept his comments to himself, now that his followers were accusing him of not adhering to his no-simping doctrine.
The humorous comments exchanged in the aftermath of the incident touched on Shadaya’s motivations and intentions behind attending the dinner, with some suggesting that he might be there to secure a new business deal or bag.
“Sir musandidaro am fighting poverty ini 😂😂😂.”
The playful banter that followed the incident expressed the humor and good-natured teasing that characterizes the interactions of social media influencers and their followers.
Despite being caught in an awkward situation, Shadaya’s followers responded with lighthearted jibes rather than harsh criticism, demonstrating the supportive and positive nature of the online community
