8. Exile started 1960, or maybe technically before
Makeba first came to international prominence when she starred in the anti-apartheid documentary Come Back, Africa in 1959.

In 1960, when she tried to fly home for her mother's funeral, she discovered her passport had been revoked. She then spent more than three decades in exile, living in the United States and Guinea.
