Netflix had an opportunity to really showcase the spirit of the young entrepreneurs of Africa. The hustle in Africa is like no other. It takes a lot to make it out there. They could have showcased the cast in their element. Swanky was on the cover of GQ magazine for goodness sake! Show him flying around Africa and styling the rich and the famous. Annie is not just a major artist's wife. She's got her own thing going on in Acting and "influencing". Would have loved to see more of what Louis does in his home country. The drama is somewhat entertaining, but it's inauthentic and will get tired very quickly. I'm already over it to be honest.

[@IGuess...]

[@cassandracraig3708]

[@itumelengdlamini4174]

You hit the nail on the head Funky. The show is pandering to a USA crowd and not fully reflective of African culture. The other thing is its only shot in South Africa but half of the cast is not from South Africa. It would be great if they also shot in Ghana and Nigeria as well. It would also be great if they showed these guys in their regular lives. E.g Naked is a DJ, why dont they show him at gigs and on radio and telling us what type of topics they tackle on radio. The others are in entertainment or have other businesses….why don’t they show us what they do and bring in African context to it. The show would be fire. They can still show the glamour of their lives but it would also be great to use it as an opportunity to show the world that we’re not hut people nor are we just imitators of America.

[@Ash_Monique]

Totally agree with you & Funky

[@Beezkneez28]

I think the issue once again is ownership. The owners or production think we want to see this because of what we so-called represent over here in America. It's like that time Oprah went to Ghana and there was a hip hop esque clothing store called Mah Nikka..without the k..it's sad. The same thing is happening on social media. These stereotypes are bleeding into the masses, and all these bm bw issues have been brought up mainly by African podcasters and bloggers. I'll give you 1 example; there is a Doctor from Louisiana who wrote a book about basically colorism..I bought it and listened to many of their discussions; this Doctor stated they may not know enough because they are 1st generation Am.from Ghanian parents in Louisiana..they then went on to post a snippet of an interview from Actress Thandie Newton..and allowed her audience to argue over light skin privilege. I commented and told her she knew what would happen and she was wrong for posting a 30 second clip from a 9 minute conversation where none of that was the topic..they quickly cut off comments and posted the link for others to view for themselves. It's sickening and bringing Americans back 60 years

[@onlyalisaawilliams]

I totally agree, but we know why their filming in South Africa. Different parts of the continent has beautiful/luxurious locations “not just South Africa”, and the show runners need to do a better job showing those areas, and the areas that aren’t that luxurious.

[@Oh_Nana1990]

From an African’s perspective: Que You nailed the reason why Bonang left the show. Bonang is and has always been that girl BUT is mainly only known in Southern Africa. I think Bonang came on the show expecting to be the center of everyone’s attention and when she didn’t get it she felt slighted. She’s used to being the only “IT” girl in the room - IN South Africa. But in a room full of people from different countries, some who are much more relevant than she is, she’s not used to that. From Western Africa, 2 Face (2Baba) and Annie are celebrity royalty, mainly in Nigeria where they are from. It’s actually very surprising to see their level of celebrity on a show like this. I’m from Ghana and I can tell you Fantana is a nobody in Ghana. She’s never released any real music in Ghana. I’m guessing this show is to help kickstart her music career. She’s best known for being a socialite and the child of a very rich female politician.

Love from Uganda (Zari's country). I was surprised by the level of humility Diamond has around Zari. When she confronted him infront of Fantana and he tried to calm her down not using her name but by calling her 'Mama T'. That's mad respect from the African point of view. He speaks to her as though she is still his wife. At that point I thought Fantana would see that she was being played but nope, not many braincells in there. When she said she didn't know Malawi, I lost it. She shouldn't come back. Zari got married recently BTW.

Facts

[@abigailblake6337]

Skin bleaching in Africa stems from the legacy of colonialism. You have to remember that many countries in Africa became independent in the 50s and 60s, they are still recovering from colonial rule. Apartheid only ended in South Africa in 1994. Skin bleaching is also a big thing in many Asian countries which were under colonial rule e.g. India. I think we sometimes forget that the white standard of beauty not only affects us in the West but across the whole globe. Africans are also not exempt from today's social media beauty standards which overall promote fairer, lighter skin.

This was a great take on the show. I live in South Africa and a lot of American slang is used in pockets because American pop culture is everywhere. Same with people using Nigerian slang in South Africa. It has been adopted. Of course not everyone is like this but it's not uncommon to use American slang mixed with South Africa slang. It may sound weird to you being American but it's not an act that is just how it is. We can't deny how much we are influenced by the US. The show is an extreme version though. Annie is 100% Nigerian and I think the show could do with more authentically African celebs. The Real Housewives of Abuja, Lagos and Nairobi do a better job at authentically African content.

Yes yes I m South African I waiting for you to review it and by the way you promised us that you gonna come to South Africa we are still waiting.

[@Halfsaladzw]

Dancehall is big in Africa too Funky. Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ghana....a lot of former English colonies really love it.

[@SlyRedfoxx85]

Do Summer House: Martha's Vineyard next...those are Fraternity type people so you should be good to review.

[@Beezkneez28]

I'm watching and I'm not feeling Bria!! Nor the goofy stalker gurl

[@bigmama12ify]

I don’t like Bria or jasmine !

[@reneamitchell7975]

Very boring show

[@SlyRedfoxx85]

@@Beezkneez28 man listen, I'm with you!! I do however think that they really are great for the show. Silas gave her the correct title as she did for him.

[@SlyRedfoxx85]

@@reneamitchell7975 guess you can't please everyone 🤷🏽‍♂ I just hope u don't go up for "ATL" "Power" the "LHH" franchise, "Baddies" or "Bad Boys" or anything like that in that wheelhouse.

[@chinny17]

I’m dying 😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing about Fantana. I’m Jamaican and yes African listen to a lot of dancehall so I was excited and was waiting to see what she got. But it’s a NO, how can u not whine for a dancehall artist. I wish we heard the music. Everything is manufactured caz Zari was dating her now husband last season. I was watching another channel and all the Africans called in giving all the info.

[@lovinkels1]

Lordt Q, you had me hollering talking about Fantana. 🤣🤣🤣

[@db6881]

The Zari thing is one thing i give African men ratings for. They don't play about the respect for their child's mothers. Even Andile has a respectful relationship with both his exes.

[@Lucismyname]

Funky you're the first one to analyse Bonang and how she fit in the show so well. This was my FAVOURITE review. She's too big for the show. They only way I can see her fitting on the show is if they cut back on the pre-produced pieces - and had different production teams following the the cast members in the countries they live & work in. Show us how things are working out with Khanyi's teenage daughter living in her own apartment and what she's doing in Dubai for example. But that would probably be too expensive because it looks like they're working on a tight budget.

[@KD4Essence]

. my god.. I am soo glad you are here. NO one like you. need me some depends..

[@tonyarison1503]

Damn he let Fantana have it😂😂

[@brownsugah2837]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@kiya1010]

Funky as a member of the UK Funky Bunch all the way from Nottingham, ENG your videos, your presence and collaboration on TeaGIF makes me giggle and belly laugh on tough days. Keeping doing you! Best believe it translates across the pond and we love it!!! 🤩💜💯

[@humble_mik]

Uh uhn don't do Swanky's walk! I love that walk 😂😂😂

[@robinm4046]

Me too!

[@sunnyd4341]

I love his walk!

[@ericadr5293]

I like his walk too!

[@So_Sag]

I concur! Especially since they know to slow it down so the garments can be admired and flow

[@kaiyabrown8837]

You and Jessie Woo do it every time with the breakdown!

[@brittanysdmallard]

Funky!!!! We need you to pick up the line about these folk down at Martha's Vineyard!!!!!!

[@mikitasheree]

I agree!!! The way he would tear Bria, Jasmine and Silas a new one, I’m ready!!!

[@Justme12369]

THIS is what I've been waiting for. This is what made me fall in love with this page. This is what I needed on this hazy day. As soon as I started this season I thought about you.

[@reneewheeler1980]

I watched the whole season and I have been waiting for days for you to do this Review…I am so excited 🎉🎉🎉Thank you

[@nonkolo_faith]

100% on the Bonang part!!!! Not you analyzing Swankys walk 😂😂😂😂we appreciate you Funky here in South Africa! ❤

[@lovelyharris206]

It was him giving Kali the key for me! Fantana and them teeth 🦷 and her being so thirsty! Definitely the wigs! I side eyed Diamond after this season. Louie is a sweetheart and I hate the way they played him. Annie and Swanky beef got on my nerves because I thought they were better than that. Adele life was interesting and I look forward to seeing more of his life coparenting. It was a lot to unpack but I enjoyed it! Great review by the way!!!

[@angelajefferson1773]

Funky Dineva I live for your videos😊. Thank you!!! Your descriptions are on point. Reduction of gums😂😂😂😂 liquid drano😅😅😅 my stomach is in stitches

[@missg4real36]

Fantana worked my damn nerves! Watching Luis constantly be embarrassed got a little cringy. Annie had the junky jitters. Nadia is giving professional girlfriend teas!....wasn't the show called young, rich & African last season?

[@anayamccreary]

I thought it was just me!! Annie AND her husband seemed like they were on something to me.

[@akisham]

So funny cause I thought the same thing or maybe alcoholic 😅😅😅

[@kissthefro25]

No, the title was always the same. WE as black people like to rename shit. So we renamed it 😂😂

[@RP.123]

You know what 🤔. Both Annie and the hubby were a bit shaky acting. Definitely on something. I hope not because I really liked Annie last season.

[@Joyislove1221]

It’s so funny you said that because I couldn’t put my finger on her behavior

[@graceannecreque5491]

Funky I live for your reviews right on point insightful, honest, and revealing always sharing angles to a situation someone might have overlooked or never thought of period.

[@ashleyc.6252]

I just binge watched this entire season so I could hurry up and watch this review. You didn't disappoint ❤

[@paigelovette8156]

Please please do a part 2. I wanted you to dissect Luis story more and how he was basically shunned from his family and how that plays a ginormous role in his interest in surrogacy and wanting a big family.

[@feyanla_vanzant]

Now I don’t care too much for Fantana either but I love that she let Zari have it and wasn’t letting up off her! I think Zari felt like she could say anything to her but Fantana lit her fire at that club.

[@selinaderoza8144]

Omg! This is the funniest review ever. When Fantana’s name came up and there was a long pause I died laughing. 😂

[@traceygarth8923]

One of my favorite characters last season was Swanky, now Swanky is TOO MUCH to Hollywood, and his fashions were horrible this season.

[@rhurhu2510]

Thank you for providing a perspective from an American. I completely agree that the show missed the mark and opportunities to educate. Unfortunately South Africa is very much influenced by Western culture. Apartheid indoctrinated us to think our africaness is ugly and white is beautiful. We are also a very young democracy and still have a LONG way to go.

[@staceyd.1560]

Yeah Bonan getting mad at Louis was so unbelievable.

[@blackdiamond231]

Yes and I think this show was a bad look for her. I thought she was going to be the mature, level headed person in the group. Instead she came off quite shallow and attention seeking. Although I think some liquor got the best of her my opinion of her has changed lol.

[@MeeMenuchoth]

The SCREAM I SCRUMPT when Funky drew his lips back and showed us his gums! 😂😭😂 #GumReduction #PurchasedAss #WearingMeOut #Barracuda

About time. 😂😂😂 I was waiting for your review. I binged this series when it came out. Looking forward to your take on it. Especially the Fantana drama and other new people, and of course the Annie and Spanky drama.
