Zimbabwe’s comedy queen and social media influencer, Tyra Chikocho, better known as Madam Boss, is once again the centre of heated debate. Over the years, fans have noticed a pattern — almost every friend who once stood close to her eventually parts ways, sometimes on bitter terms. From Mai Titi to Mai Juju, Mai Maketeni, and even actress Joy Nyikadzino, the fallout list is long and dramatic.
The latest storm came after Ketina Masomera went live with Rutendo Samas, accusing Madam Boss of hating anyone who becomes successful. Ketina claimed that behind the laughter and public charm, Madam Boss allegedly can’t stand to see others shine, especially those in her circle. This fiery accusation added fuel to long-standing suspicions from some fans who already believe she’s a “snake” and a master backstabber.
Others, however, defend her, saying she’s simply a misunderstood woman caught up in toxic friendships, jealousy, and the cut-throat world of Zimbabwe’s entertainment industry. Could it be that fame naturally breeds conflict? Or is Madam Boss truly the common denominator in all these broken bonds?
One thing is certain — the public adores her comedy and elegance, but when it comes to her friendships, the jury is still out. Fans are now asking: Is Madam Boss really the problem, or just a magnet for drama?
