"This week on #TopBilling, Zozi sits down with rapper @Gigi_Lamayne for an inspiring high tea conversation fresh off her win as Best Hip-Hop Artist at the Basadi in Music Awards." t
After their 6-year hiatus, many fans felt as though social media had made it easier to access premium content from local celebrities who live opulent lives.
The negative comments just came flooding in; it was pretty difficult to sift through to find some positive ones.
Watch the X clip below:
Some people gave the show some grace and defended it. Below are the reactions:
@soshaCapitalist reacted:
"I don’t think Top Billing lost its Mojo, social media has over-exposed EVERYTHING. Ferraris and R30M houses don’t excite folks anymore because anyone with a phone and access has given us a front-seat view to the lavish lifestyle regularly, now we’re numb to it."
@lebohstraatmate replied:
"Social media has skewed people's perception of luxury, and it's so sad."
@Lwazi_Songo defended the show:
"Y'all in the comments didn’t watch Top Billing at all💀💀 This was, in fact, normal in Top Billing, it didn’t only show beautiful houses and lavish weddings."
@Fulunem gave advice:
"An Enhle Mbali interview would be interesting. She is almost a multimillionaire. Amanda Du Pont, bringing her, she likes the attention. Shudufhadzo is serving hot body and degrees. Nothing against Gigi."
@GodLuy_Mfili said:
"Top Billing has not fallen off at all. They are still good and luxurious. The Episode has various segments you chose to deliberately ignore. The show always had a segment of interviewing celebrities /talents. I enjoyed the beautiful house, the wedding and the fashion."
