Back in the day, socialite Pokello Nare found herself in hot water after making bold claims about her rise to success during the Essentials by Tanya one-year-anniversary celebrations.
Speaking alongside other influencers, Pokello shared insights into her entrepreneurial journey, sparking both admiration and skepticism from the online community.
In her speech, Pokello recounted how she launched her Pink Bottom heel range with just 30 pairs of shoes, attributing her success to keen business acumen and spotting market opportunities.
Her words stirred debate among social media users, with many questioning the authenticity of her narrative.
Some skeptics pointed to rumors linking Pokello to Emmerson Mnangagwa Jr., son of the President of Zimbabwe, suggesting that her wealth might have been inherited rather than earned through business savvy.
Despite persistent denials of their relationship, speculation persisted, fueled by social media posts and public appearances.
For Pokello, fame came not only from her business ventures but also from her past controversies, notably her involvement in a sex tape with ex-boyfriend Desmond ‘Stunner’ Chideme during her time on Big Brother Africa.
Critics seized on Pokello’s speech as an opportunity to cast doubt on her credibility, questioning the success of her business endeavors and urging her to be more transparent about her sources of wealth.
