Popular Zimbabwean content creators and power couple, populaly known as Nyathi family ( Gilbert Nyamanhindi ), have been at the center of a social media storm after posting a video on Facebook that sparked outrage among their followers. The video which has since been reposted was deemed inappropriate and immoral by many, who felt it crossed a line. The backlash was swift, with many calling for the couple to take down the video.
However, in a bold move the couple took to Facebook Live to address the controversy and repost the video citing that it did not violate any of Facebook’s community standards. During the live session, the couple opened up about the challenges they face as content creators and how they rely on Facebook to make a living.
They emphasized that if they were to listen to every criticism and delete every video that offends someone, they would be out of business. “We can’t please everyone,” they said. “We have to be true to ourselves and our brand. If you don’t like our content, you can always unfollow us.”
The couple’s decision to repost the video has sparked a heated debate about censorship, morality, and the role of social media in shaping our cultural norms. So, what’s the moral of the story? Well here it is, if you want to make a living from creating content, be prepared to develop a thick skin and ignore the haters. And to all the haters out there, remember that you can’t please everyone, so you might as well please yourself. Dolly Parton, once said, “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”
