Grammy-winning South African singer Tyla has condemned the bullying of Chidimma Vanessa Onwe Adetshina, a Miss South Africa finalist, who recently pulled out from the contest after she attracted scrutiny over her nationality.

Adetshina, a model of Nigerian and Mozambican heritage, became the centre of a nationality row in July after she qualified for the round of 16 of the Miss South Africa beauty pageant.

She recently withdrew from the competition despite being a Top 11 Finalist, after the South African Department of Home Affairs alleged that her mother may have committed fraud and identity theft.

Reacting, Tyla said was disappointed by the harsh treatment melted at Adetshina. She insisted that the model was bullied out of the competition.

Sharing a report of Adetshina’s withdrawal from the competition via X, Tyla wrote: “Disappointed that this happened to her, but wish you all the best girl. Kill it!”

“I will always stand with South Africa, i just feel regardless of the opinions… She was bullied and that’s what I don’t stand for.”

Meanwhile, Miss Universe Nigeria has invited Chidimma Adetshina to join the contest. However, she’s yet to react to the invite.
