Why the double standard?

I was watching a online video on Facebook a few days ago where Rema, an international superstar visited his roots in Nigeria. He was on plaited hair and earrings..that's a normal thing, right? But in Nigeria, a male plaiting his hair or wearing earrings is frowned at except you are a celebrity like a singer or footballer.. In the video, Rema visited the church where he grew up and the pastor was hyping him up crazy.. praising him. That sparked a conversation online where people said if Rema is a poor unknown guy with a plaited hair and earrings, would the pastor have praised him? This shows how people side eye you when you appear a certain way but turn a blind eye to a celebrity who does the same .. It shows how money and influence changes the game
