South African music sensation Makhadzi is no stranger to the spotlight, boasting millions of followers across platforms like Facebook, Twitter (X), and Instagram. However, a curious silence has surrounded her Threads account, where she has amassed over 116,000 followers — but receives little to no engagement.
Despite her massive fanbase and high-profile status, most of Makhadzi’s Threads posts sit without a single like, reshare, or meaningful comment. Some posts go days — even up to a week — without any reaction. This silence is raising eyebrows among fans and social media observers alike.
“It doesn’t make sense,” one fan commented. “How can someone with such a huge following post content that gets absolutely no interaction? It’s like shouting into a void.”
Social media experts suggest several possible reasons for the engagement drought:
- Platform Algorithm Limitations: Threads, while growing, still lags behind other platforms in terms of user interaction and discoverability.
- Audience Mismatch: Makhadzi’s core fanbase may be more active on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, where her posts consistently go viral.
- Shadowbanning or Technical Issues: Some speculate whether the platform’s algorithm may be limiting her reach, either unintentionally or due to platform-specific settings.
Others argue it points to a larger issue with Threads’ overall user engagement rates, especially among celebrities and public figures.
“Threads is still trying to find its footing,” said a digital marketing analyst. “Even high-profile users are struggling to convert followers into active engagers on the app.”
Still, for someone as culturally impactful and beloved as Makhadzi, the silence on Threads remains an anomaly. Whether it’s a platform issue or a strategic oversight, fans are hoping for a turnaround — or at the very least, an explanation.
Makhadzi and her team have yet to comment on the matter.
