– Young Famous and African Season 2 Review Contains No Spoilers –
Diamond is back from his tour, and so he plans a party in South Africa, inviting all his friends. His buddy Naked takes the responsibility of inviting everyone, including those that have beef with each other. All the people, including some new faces, join the party, and it becomes a mess. Diamond is pissed at Andile, his friend who is flirting with Zari, the mother of Diamond’s kids. He has moved on from Zari but feels uncomfortable to see his friend hitting on her out of all the women.
Annie and Swanky are having a misunderstanding that becomes the tea of the group. Swanky, who is a don’t-care fellow, disrespects Annie straight in her face making her leave the party to keep her respect in place. We then have Bonang joining the party, and she is the ex of Nadia’s current boyfriend. Moreover, Nadia and Bonang were best friends who split up. The amount of weird connections won’t fail to astonish viewers.

After the party, the friends meet with their selective people and trash-talk mercilessly. The fact that they’re friends and they backbite gives me icks. Amidst these scenes, what bugged me the most is their locations and dresses. How rich are these people? I understand the show’s concept, of course, they’re rich, but damn, they all look expensive 24/7. At one point, I wondered whether they were dressing up only for the show.

Moving on, the number of betrayals in one episode— how can I endure more till the 9th episode? Every episode has a new drama, and the women fighting for a man is the end limit for me. These women term themselves as Queens and fight over a man who has the least interest in them. Thankfully one or two ladies have sense, and they try to point out that the men are at fault, but nah, the clawing ladies just won’t listen.

Can we talk about Andile? The man really got on my nerves. He is interested in Zari, the mother of Diamond’s children. Alright, this isn’t too bad. But why is Andile triggering the feelings in both his ex-wives? Which dumb person would invite their not-so-well-going two ex-wives to their current crush’s birthday party? This madman did. He invited Rosetta and Seba to Zari’s birthday, only to witness both wives yell at each other. Seriously?
There’s this new girl Fantana. She claims she is the youngest of them all and smart but acts immaturely. It’s evident that Diamond is least bothered about her, but she still believes he is keeping her at #1. Rosetta well knows that Diamond has a current girlfriend, and he is clearly lying. Luis also tells her that she is more than a side chick, but this woman just won’t bother.

Good heavens, there are too many cranky things in this show that I can keep talking about. The more and more I watch I envy their riches. They have beauty, wealth, brains, and whatnot? But basic decency isn’t on their plate. Wherever they go, a drama comes, and they scream out their lungs. However, the reasons would be so petty. Please stop.
Young Famous and African Season 2 Review: Final ThoughtsI envy them. If I had had their money, I’d be calm and peacefully enjoy my life. With all their wealth, they are trying to create chaos, that’s it. I’m worried about their kids, though, because imagine them having to grow up only to realise how their parents’ relationships are utterly disturbing.

Overall, this show is a great watch if you’re a person who loves nonsense dramas and fights. If you’re a person who watches shows to learn something from, please skip this one.
