Burna Boy mocks newly crowned Miss SA, Mia Le Roux

Burna Boy is currently facing backlash after making a controversial remark about the newly crowned Miss South Africa, Mia Le Roux. His comment, which he posted on social media, seemed to mock South Africans after Le Roux, a white, won the title. This reaction comes in the context of a prior controversy involving Chidimma Adetshina, a contestant with Nigerian and Mozambican roots who withdrew from the competition due to the Department of Home Affairs uncovering that her mother received her citizenship through fraud and identity theft.

Burna Boy’s comment, “So after all that… [laugh emoji],” was perceived by many as a direct jab at South Africans who had been critical of Adetshina’s participation due to her heritage. His post sparked mixed reactions, with many Nigerian fans supporting his stance, while some South Africans criticized him for stirring up racial tensions be and mocking the disabled community.
