Burna Boy, the Nigerian music sensation, sparked controversy on social media after commenting on the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant.
Following the crowning of Mia le Roux, a woman of European descent, as the new Miss South Africa, Burna Boy expressed his disappointment and criticized the pageant for not choosing a winner with African heritage.
Burna Boy’s comments came after the pageant had already been marred by controversy surrounding former finalist Chidimma Adetshina, who was forced to withdraw due to disputes over her citizenship.
Many social media users, including Burna Boy, felt that the pageant had missed an opportunity to celebrate African beauty and identity.
Burna Boy’s shade towards the Miss South Africa organizers and winners sparked a heated debate about representation, identity, and the importance of celebrating African culture.
