Burna Boy Mocks South Africans After A White South African Won The Miss SA Pageantry Following The Withdrawal Of Chidinma Adetshina

Burna Boy, the world-famous Nigerian superstar singer, has mocked South Africans.

The singer mocked them while reacting to a white South African woman winning the Miss South Africa pageantry following a controversy that led to the withdrawal of Chidinma Vanessa Adetshina.

Mia Le Roux is the new Miss South Africa. The Free State-born model was crowned at a ceremony held at the Sun Bet Arena at Time Square in Menlyn, Pretoria.

Mia Le Roux is the first Miss SA Winner who is deaf & has a cochlear implant. She will be the first contestant at the Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico with such a disability to take part in the competition.

For her tenure, she walks away with the Mowana crown, a lavish fully furnished apartment, a Mercedes Benz, R1 million and more prizes.

Reacting to the development, Burna Boy wrote “So after all that”, adding laughter emojis.

His reaction is coming after Chidnma Adetshina, a 23-year-old law student who said her father is Nigerian while her mum is a South African of Mozambican descent, withdrew from the pageant over controversies about her nationality.

Some South Africans had questioned whether Chidinma was really a citizen of the country and took to social media to ask for her to be removed from the pageant.

SA Home Affairs then began an investigation into Chidinma’s roots and discovered that the identity of an “innocent” South African mother “may have been stolen” by Adetshina’s mother. This prompted Chidinma to withdraw from the competition.

I Have No Regrets Being First Evicted Housemate From BBNaija — Damilola Ojo Says

A former housemate from Team Tami on the Big Brother Naija (No Lose Guard season), Damilola Ojo, has said she has no regrets about her short time on the show, despite spending just one week in the competition before she was evicted alongside her partner, Toyosi, after just one week.

She told Saturday Beats, “There are no regrets. We went to the house regardless. Even those who are in there will also still come out.”

Asked about the highlight of her time in the house, she opined that it was a nice experience meeting with people from different walks of life.

Talking about her misunderstanding with other contestants in the house, Ojo said, “I believe that if I had acted better, and people didn’t take the issue that happened in the kitchen in an offensive way, we won’t be out by now, because Toyosi was already starting to form some alliances with the girls and others.”

On what’s next for her, Ojo said, “I am a nightlife promoter, so I am hoping for it to grow bigger and attract more collaboration and partnerships. I am also a professional chef, and I intend to brush up my culinary skills. I would like to try presenting as well.”
