Top 10 "Dumb" Celebrities Who are a Lot Smarter Than You Think
There are a bunch of celebrities you might think as dumb, stupid, or goofy. But maybe it's because of the characters they play, the type of work they do, or their image in the public. But surprisingly, there are a lot of "dumb" celebrities behind the scene who are very intelligent.
Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll is a Colombian-Spanish singer, songwriter, dancer, record producer, choreographer, and model. This latin popstar has a IQ score of 140, and graduated from high school at the age of 15. She became an advocate and humanitarian, fighting for education as a human right. She was even a Unicef goodwill ambassador and has visited the United Nations to promote governments to pay more attention to early childhood mental development. She attended UCLA for one summer, going by her middle name and a different dress in disguise in order to attend her classes. And not to mention, is that she is fluent and can speak five different languages: Spanish (of course because she is a latin singer), Italian, Catalan, Portuguese and Arabic.
I haven't actually heard many people call her dumb but I suppose people might think so because she has some occasionally pretty bizarre lyrics or even just because "looks matter more than talent in getting famous". Boy these people are wrong though.

Kesha also stands up for L.G.B.T. rights in America We have thought of her negatively because of what she was back in the late 00s/early 10s when she used the dollar sign on her name, had these bizarre looks, terrible music, and when TikTok was just a song. But before all this, she had an almost perfect score on the SATs and was accepted to Barnard University, but dropped out because she wanted to pursue in music. And to add more of this, her image in the media has improved, as well as her music, even though it may not be my "cup of tea".
