The interview video was posted by an online user @ZacMoselane on his Twitter (X), leaving many Mzansi netizens with a bitter taste.
The video was captioned:
"Her story changed so much that I believe she is in on the fraud. She said she is South African because her mother is South African. Now, both her parents are Nigerian. This one was not even both in SA. She is just a liar, and she and her mother must be arrested."

Netizens react to Chidimma's revelation

@Ihhashi_Turkei said:
"This girl will forever be confused."
@only_Shakespear wrote:
"I see it now. Nigerians lack originality and like hijacking other countries' spotlight. This fake Chidima was trending, so they used her to make their so-called lame Miss Nigeria relevant. Just like they have a poor excuse show called Your View from the View."
@KaraboKbmags commented:
"When we asked questions, we were told she has strong Zulu roots. Then, posting that video that upset everyone to show us the strong Zulu roots was just a ruse. She knew from the start. She can leave us alone now."
