Published on July 25, 2019, a social media post highlighted the uncanny resemblance between Tanzanian socialite Shilole and actress Taraji P. Henson, also known as Cookie from the popular TV series Empire.
Shilole, a businesswoman and actress with over 2 million followers on social media, has been told by her fans that she and Cookie are identical twins.
The socialite has even adopted the nickname 'Shilole Taraji' due to her dramatic character and has admitted to being conversant in the queen's language, English.
However, she was previously trolled for speaking broken English on social media, which left her realizing that English and her native language are two different things.
Despite the resemblance, it remains to be seen what would happen if Shilole ever met her lookalike, Cookie.
