Angolan rapper Deezy recently shared a reflection on social media about the stance of some Angolan public figures who have been using their platforms to speak out about the situation in Mozambique. In his message, Deezy raised the issue that not all artists who share information and opinions on the topic are necessarily genuinely engaged with or concerned about the situation.
“For the occasional Revús in 🇦🇴 who are posting about the situation in Mozambique just to be 'up to date' on social media… I want to see something in 2027. Talking about someone else's country is easy, right?! Hypocrisy Pro Max 🤦🏾♂️,‘ wrote Deezy.
In the message, Deezy suggests that some artists may be participating in the discussions more to stay up-to-date on social media than out of genuine interest. He also mentions 2027, the year Angola will hold presidential elections, implying that it will be an important time to observe the engagement of these public figures regarding Angola's own internal affairs.
A Reflection on the Role of Influencers in Social Issues
Deezy's observation brings to light a common discussion about the role of public figures in issues of social interest. In a scenario of high visibility on social media, many influencers and artists have used their platforms to raise awareness and support international causes. However, the rapper's statement opens the door to reflection on the level of commitment and involvement of these figures.
While some supporters interpreted Deezy's post as an encouragement to engage more with local causes, others saw it as an opportunity for constructive discussion about how influencers can use their voices in an authentic and engaged way.
The Importance of Open and Reflective Discussions
Regardless of the differing interpretations, Deezy's message sparked positive dialogue among his followers, encouraging conscious and ongoing support and solidarity across social media. In an increasingly connected world, influential voices can play a key role in raising awareness of causes and supporting the strengthening of communities, both locally and internationally.
This kind of reflection reinforces the value of genuine support and sensitivity to issues important to different communities.
