Some people in the list are famous in the west but not very famous among Somalis.
MO Farah is the only person who is famous both in Somalia and in world.
I only know of Iman, and the runner Mo Farah I guess in America Iman is very well known and even in the U.K because she was married to David Bowie I only have known about Mo for a few years now.
Iman is by far more famous, influential and iconic than everybody on this list. She was our first unofficial Somali ambassador. The first Somali in pop culture and one of the first famous Somali/Black entrepreneur and trailblazer with her legendary make up line IMAN. She married David Bowie rock icon and legend making the pair the most iconic model/rocker duo ever.
Are you young? Is Iman even on IG ? She's not some beauty guru or a token like Halima Aden. She's an international Supermodel and Icon. Your mother and grand mother knew about her before they heard of Mo Farahs existence. And are you calling David Bowie a random white man? Are you a fob or are you really young ?
Nobody loves that skinny farax nor does he get half the respect Iman gets in her industry and beyond. Mo or Kahin or whatever his name is not even in the same league as Iman. He's more comparable to someone like Chunks or Knaan.

Loved by white British people? Thats the benchmark for most iconic Somali. Talk about low self esteem. You UK Somalis are so uncultured and classless. No one cares about long distance running.
As for Imaan tell your mom "she's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment."
Half the people on the list are not well known, you telling me a well known congresswomen of well known state during one of the most well known police brutality case, who also used to be mentioned by One of the most known president (Trump) on both live TV and Twitter where he had one of the largest followers. Get real bro lol, she is well known for sure.
Anyone who chose mo Farrah over iman is a peasant if we’re talking about total career popularity.
Comparing both of their careers, IMAN was international supermodel and superstar level even to the point that she was friendly with Michael Jackson and David Bowie (two very big celebrities).
IMAN is a household name, maybe Mo Farrah is currently more relevant but saying he’s the GOAT is like saying Beyonce is more famous than Mj.
and Mo Farah got knighted by the most famous royal family/queen, funny that you trying to give points by mentioning who she is friendly with lol. Even Trump mentioned Ilhan Omar more then MJ mentioned Iman lol.
IMAN has a makeup brand, she was one of the most influential supermodels (international and American) on the same level of Naomi Campbell.
Ilhan Omar is popular now but you can't compare someone who's had multiple decades worth of celebrity status vs people who barely became popular.
If we're going by generation then chunks is the most influential rn but overall it gotta be iman since she she changed the fashion industry to make it more exclusive to black model she was like one of the first black models for ysl
I live in a Black neighbourhood and nah they don't know who she is unless they are old or somali, I have never seen any non-somali mention her In my life let alone her contributions.. Even I didn't know that she changed the fashion industry, just thought she was a regular model nor did I even know she was in a MJ video.
I am from the USA, and I doubt any of the young people or non somalis even know who she is, when I say I am Somali, they definitely think of Ilhan Omar given her publicity during George Floyd as a Minnesota politician and her media/internet fights with Trump.
K'naan is the only celebrity that I know about and he disappeared 😭😭
He peaked over 10 years ago.
K'naan and mo fatah were on the world stage once. Idk how the list doesn't have the waving flag guy. Bmt.
Some people in the list are famous in the west but not very famous among Somalis. MO Farah is the only person who is famous both in Somalia and in world.
Iman is known worldwide tho, maybe not so much now bc she’s not as relevant but 90s Somalis all knew about her like she’s princess Diana lol
Stop calling the former president "Aabo" the only aabo you have is your biological father.
My uncle Dabcasar
[удалено]
He is dabcasar is sheikh, tv presenter, and a pilot
A pilot? Dude is a legend. If he presented his work, he would have his own Saturday night live show
He goes on sabbatical and does haram shit every once in a while but his default is wadaad 😂

When I saw farmajo I was like they could’ve went ilhan omar
Stop playing on barkhad abdis name the dude has the most recognizable face on planet earth. Everybody knows who the captain is
If it was just face, I think Barkhad Abdi is by a long shot the most recognizable.
"Abo farmaajo" lol🤣
Ikr it's cringe

Did Mo Farah marry a Somali?
No English woman
#\#TeamDabacasar
Iman cause she was literally in micheal Jackson music video with eddy Murphy
How is Ilhan Omar not an option?
Probably not as well known outside the US.
Half the people on the list are not well known, you telling me a well known congresswomen of well known state during one of the most well known police brutality case, who also used to be mentioned by One of the most known president (Trump) on both live TV and Twitter where he had one of the largest followers.

what a shame that many ppl with the blessed name Mohammed reduce it Mo. It's like exchanging a hundred dollar bill for a nickel.
Ayaan Hirsi K’naan And surprisingly I have seen middle aged cadaan folks who know Abdi Bille...
Did you just say “Ayaan Hirsi” 🤦🏽♀️💀😂 stop the cap most people don’t even know who she is
I agree hahah.
I don't know who "Chunkz" is, but I have heard of the others.

IMAN is a household name, maybe Mo Farrah is currently more relevant but saying he’s the GOAT is like saying Beyonce is more famous than Mj.
And she started the first black cosmetics line which was worth 25 plus million dollars.

Iman is definitely more famous than Mo Farah I think the UK ppl picked him
Not really, just because someone had fame doesn’t mean they have relevance. Just because your some girl means you choose Imam lol typical
Iman was in Micheal Jackson music video..
Bro that was older generation. If we have photos of chunks or iman to the current generation. Most will recognise chunks
If we're going by generation then chunks is the most influential rn but overall it gotta be iman since she she changed the fashion industry to make it more exclusive to black model she was like one of the first black models for ysl

Abaha waaaas
How about your mom 😏
Hawa Abdi Diblawe
I don’t know about these guys but its for sure a guy called Cabdi Kaahin
Xussein Cabdi Kaahin.
Why is Farmaajo the least voted lol. I doubt the average Somali in Somalia even knows Chunkz, and Barkhad Abdi.
I think halima Aden is both recognisable in both US and in UK. As for the world that may be up to debate
