Starting as a photo-sharing application, Instagram has since become part of the world’s top social media sites. It has roughly one billion active users from all industries, such as creatives like visual artists, photographers, models, actors, and musicians. Entrepreneurs and professionals also utilize the site.
Given this, the platform makes for an excellent vehicle that helps build one’s network and scale their reach. In fact, countless individuals have already risen to fame and achieved the highly coveted influencer status because of Instagram. This remarkable phenomenon ultimately ushered in a new breed of internet celebrities. However, as the platform continues to become heavily saturated with established profiles that have millions of followers, it can be quite overwhelming for users to decide which accounts to follow.
As such, we have rounded up 10 IG accounts you should follow in 2022:
- Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart is one of the funniest guys in show business. The 42-year-old performer started as a standup comic and is known for talking about his life experiences, misadventures, and insecurities on stage.

- Banga Roye
Born July 26, 1992 in New Britain, CT, Banga noticed her love and passion for music, since the age of 8. She never really idolized any other artist , but had great respect for artist such as Nipsey Hussle, Lil Wayne, Drake, Rick Ross , Siya , future and Mozzy. From the different types of music she listened to, she learned how to break down full songs, from the melody, to the instruments, to the tempo. Although, her ability to rap off of those very things, help put her in her own lyrical lane. Her versatility is unmatched, and she has so far proven her ability to collaborate with people such as FredTheGodson.
Besides making music Banga always had a passion for writing which grew from her personal experiences from childhood to now, whether it was from a thought or feeling, enduring the life she lived. From being the oldest of four, to losing their mother from Lung cancer in 2019, she continues to push forward to her ultimate goal. SUCCESS!! Not only has she referenced some of hip hop’s elite music artists, she proves with her body of work why she deserves a seat.
Her latest solo project “RSKY BHVR” was released August 23, 2021, on all major platforms, such as Apple Music, Spotify, & YouTube with an intriguing amount of streams as an independent artist on Spotify. Prior to her latest project, she released her single “No Time” produced by Tek Banks, which did over 40K via Spotify, but was taken down due to her separation with her former label. Previous to that she has leaked several songs which can also be found on all major digital platforms, as well as her late single “WWYD” ft (the late) Fred The Godson produced by AdotTheGod. Banga strives for everything she believes in, especially her music. She is slowly catching the eyes of industry leaders , and is slowly climbing her way to the top with her supportive fans and peers apart from her fan base.
