Zambian Songbird Responds to Trolls After Attending Friend’s Chilanga Mulilo
Zambian music diva Mampi found herself trending after attending the chilanga mulilo of her friend and celebrity makeup artist Abby’s Makeover. The star, who was joined by rapper Xaven and other celebrities, shared photos from the event, but instead of admiration, she was met with harsh online comments urging her to get married and have children.
Normally unfazed by online negativity, Mampi decided to respond this time. Sharing screenshots of the comments, she hit back with a sharp clapback: “So ninshi, we are not allowed to bath or celebrate our friend’s marriages because we are not married aini?” Her words resonated widely, sparking an outpouring of support from fans who criticized the toxic culture of shaming women over their marital or parental status.
The singer’s response reminded many why she remains one of Zambia’s most resilient and respected female entertainers. For years, Mampi has been subjected to online bullying centered around her being unmarried and childless. This latest clapback, however, turned the tables, earning her praise for speaking out boldly against societal pressure.
