A partially anonymous, popular Twitter user who
has nothing else going for them. This is a definition of a tweleb according to
Urban Dictionary.
Twelebs live for RTs and ":''''D"s
from their followers as they tweet ignorant, sometimes funny and mostly
offensive content all in the name of retaining their Tweleb status. Every
Tweleb's avatar change is welcomed with dozens of "Avi appreciations"
from their followers, to which they're usual reply is something like:
"Wow. Humbled."
They are easily recognisable by their amount of
followers on Twitter (usually 5000 or more). Their Twitter names are usually
their Instagram name or a name promoting the latest cool kid gathering e.g:
#coolkidgathering15Oct!!
Basically a tweleb is an individual who is a
twitter celebrity and in most cases. . .their vocations are just perfecting
being a twitter pest to people who are doing something productive with their
lives. Another “fun” thing they do is gun down for real life celebrities in the
name of attention, trending and being cool. . .stupidly cool.
Celebrity is a public figure getting attention
from the media. In most cases, celebrity status is habitually associated with
wealth and fame, and celebrities can easily provide opportunities to make
money. Successful careers in sports and entertainment are commonly associated
with celebrity status.
Should celebrities pay attention to twelebs? NO! Well in most cases they know which buttons to push when it comes to provoking celebrities and they always succeed in their imprudent acts.

Phumakim hit maker Cassper Nyovest is the latest
celebrity victim of twelebs. On Monday evening, twitter was flooding with
insults gunned at Nyovest that even other celebrities were feeling sorry for
the homey! There are other celebrities who find themselves in the same
situation in most cases. . .One that is a regular of these acts has to be Sizwe
Dlhomo. I think it has reached a point where he doesn’t even care anymore and
instead of getting anything personal, he just shot back!
Urban
Dictionary continues to say:
Though many of them aren't
bad people, they live pretty mediocre lives and for most being a Tweleb is
probably as good as it'll ever get for them.
A grown-ass man who still
lives with his Mom but still hasn't gotten that Diploma that's taking him at
least 5 years (and counting) to complete because he is too busy chasing
"ez'weyi".
Cassper Nyovest is arguably
the biggest hip hop artist in the game right now, locally. . .He is out there
almost every day making the kinda money that most of us haven’t even seen yet!
Sizwe Dhlomo on the other hand, is a decent business-man making moves of his
own.
Spot the difference between the two. . .choose wisely when choosing a
career or what to do with your life!
