Popular highlife singer Flavour N’abania has responded to a social media comment urging Nigerians to hide Chidimma Adetshina, the first runner-up at the 2024 Miss Universe pageant, from him. The comment, which emerged after Adetshina’s impressive finish, sparked a reaction from Flavour, who expressed his surprise and frustration over being dragged into the conversation.
Chidimma Adetshina made headlines after she finished as the first runner-up at the prestigious Miss Universe competition. Her achievement was especially significant given the controversy she faced earlier in the year when she was rejected from the Miss South Africa pageant due to claims questioning her South African heritage. Despite the setback, Adetshina’s success at Miss Universe garnered widespread praise and congratulations from Nigerians across social media.
However, not all responses were entirely supportive. Some social media users, particularly on the platform X, expressed concerns over Adetshina’s growing fame and her interactions with public figures, including Flavour. One user, @Harri_obi, posted a comment that suggested Nigerians should “hide her from Flavour N’abania,” after Adetshina’s rise to prominence. The remark quickly caught the attention of many, including the singer himself.
Flavour, known for his music and charismatic public persona, was clearly taken aback by the comment. In a response on social media, he expressed his frustration, writing, “Minding my business and still collecting stray bullet. A whole Igbo angel. Na God get me.” His post, which blended humor with exasperation, made it clear that he felt unjustly caught up in the situation despite having no involvement in it.
