If South African singer Makhadzi wanted to stir up a hornets' nest, she made good on it in a now-deleted social media post.

The performer made an unusual remark after taking to her X account about former Miss South Africa (SA) 2024 finalist Chidimma Onwe Adetshina.

However, the Ghanama hitmaker seemed to ride on the wave of the recent controversy surrounding the pageant hopeful.

Her deleted X post on Friday night read:

"Chidimma. Chichi. My sister from South Africa. I wish she [were the] MC [at] my one-woman show ko Polokwane. Phela, she is one of us, allegedly."

Unsurprisingly, Mzansi's online community clawed at her over the brash post. Feeling the heat from the backlash, she deleted the post and penned an apology in another now-deleted post.

She claimed not to know how South Africans felt about the issue.

"I'm sorry, yhoo. I didn't know how you feel. Please forgive me."

Despite her apology, some netizens hit out at the entertainer for feigning ignorance, while others laughed it off as dry humour.

Briefly News looks at the reactions to her post.
