One thing Nigerian celebrities love to do is to create an account for their babies and children.
There are several reasons why this happens. First, it ensures that no one else can claim the child’s name on social media or impersonate them. Additionally, it gives them a massive head start; if they choose to venture into acting or content creation as adults, they will already have millions of followers waiting.
Here are the children of Nigerian celebrities with the most Instagram followers:
1. Tife Balogun
The son of Afrobeats superstar Wizkid has 808,000 followers on Instagram and goes by ‘The Real Champz’ since launching his music career. Although he is only 15 years old, his mother opened the account when he was much younger, giving him a massive head start toward reaching the one-million-follower milestone.
2. Imade Adeleke
The 11-year-old daughter of Sophia Momodu and Afrobeats superstar Davido has 622,000 followers. She is also an influencer in her own right and has many endorsement deals.
3. Rakeem Mkambala
The 10-month-old son of Priscilla Ojo Mkambala and Juma Jux hasn’t shown his face yet, but he has 314,000 followers on Instagram. That’s a lot of followers for a baby whose face is unknown.
4. Shonaola Olori
The 3-year-old daughter of comedian KieKie also got the humour gene from her mother, and she’s very comfortable in front of the camera. She currently has 271,000 followers on Instagram.
5. Jamil Balogun
The 10-year-old son of Tiwa Savage has over 207,000 followers and has also been featured in numerous ads and even YouTube shows.
6. Rain Olanma Afolabi
Rain is the daughter of comedian Lasisi Elenu. Her hilarious videos with her dad went viral, so it was no surprise when her parents created her Instagram account. She currently has 188,000 followers, has been featured in many adverts, and is only 3 years old.
7. Eliana Atere
At the time this story was written, the daughter of fashion designer Veekee James Atere and sports enthusiast James Atere has 85,000 followers, and she’s barely two months old.
Thankfully, these accounts are usually managed by their parents, so they are away from harmful predators.
Ultimately, these huge follower counts prove that celebrity status is hereditary. Clearly, the public’s fascination with these stars extends directly to their kids.
