Are they a cricketer or a pop singer? How many millions of followers do they have on their profiles? What do they have in common? What makes them so popular?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Miley_Cyrus\"><\/span>Miley Cyrus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder that Miley Cyrus is the most popular celebrity on Instagram. With over 155 million followers, she shares all sorts of things with her followers. Recently, she shared a picture of herself in a hot pink striped two-piece set, revealing her toned abs. She even posed next to a &#8220;wet floor&#8221; sign. She also asked her followers to post a caption.<\/p>\n<p>After becoming a teen idol on the Disney Channel show Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus has gone on to become one of the most followed individuals on the platform. She has used her Instagram account to rebrand herself. Her fans have come to expect that she will post pictures of herself doing various activities, including singing, dancing, and acting. In addition to sharing photos of herself, she has used Instagram as a way to promote her new series of Bright Minded interviews.<\/p>\n<p>Another female celeb with more than 90 million followers on Instagram is Katy Perry. The American Idol judge has a massive fan base on Instagram. Her Instagram account has a diverse collection of pictures from events and photoshoots. She&#8217;s also an influencer, launching her own beauty line and becoming the highest paid woman in the world. While Cyrus may not have the richest Instagram account, she is still one of the most popular women on the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Virat_Kohli\"><\/span>Virat Kohli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Cricketer Virat Kohli is the most followed sportsperson on Instagram, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The latter has over 400 million followers while the former has 334 million followers. Neymar, a Brazilian footballer, is fourth with 175 million followers. Virat Kohli is the first Indian sportsperson to break the 200 million mark on Instagram. If you want to know more about Virat Kohli and his growing fan base, read on.<\/p>\n<p>Among the most popular athletes on social media, Virat Kohli is one of the most popular athletes on Instagram. The former Indian cricket captain has a following of 200 million people on the photo-sharing website. Virat Kohli is also the third most followed sportsperson in the world, behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. After crossing the 200 million mark, Kohli thanked his fans for their support and showed off a collage of his recent posts.<\/p>\n<p>Another sportsperson with a large number of Instagram followers is MS Dhoni. MS Dhoni has 37.1 million followers. Sachin Tendulkar, who retired from international cricket in 2013, has 34.7 million followers. The latter is a big Instagram user who is popular among sports fans. Nevertheless, Dhoni and Tendulkar are not the most popular sports personalities, but they can definitely compete with Kohli for fans&#8217; attention.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nicki_Minaj\"><\/span>Nicki Minaj<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most popular rapper on Instagram, Nicki Minaj, has a huge following of fans and she often acknowledges them. The singer has collaborated with many famous faces and often posts photos of the stars she has met. Her photos are filled with celebrities from Lil Wayne to up-and-coming artists. She has an incredible influence and has an impressive influence score of 88. With her massive following, it&#8217;s no wonder she&#8217;s the most followed Instagramer.<\/p>\n<p>The rapper is closely associated with the designers Versace and Offset, and she often posts pictures of the two. As the most followed Instagramer, she&#8217;s also very active in the fashion community, often participating in challenges and posting new pictures. Despite her popularity, Nicki Minaj manages to remain grounded and remember what&#8217;s important. Her latest post shows her posing with tennis star Serena Williams and the model Winnie Harlow. She is also a friend of Stephen Colbert.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are many controversial issues surrounding Nicki Minaj. She&#8217;s been criticized for tweets about her upcoming trip to the Met Gala and her reaction to a coronavirus vaccine. Minaj claimed that she was invited to the White House, but that the administration only offered her a phone call. The rapper claims she was jailed on Twitter, but Twitter has denied this and says she didn&#8217;t violate their terms of service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Most Followed on Instagram?
