The video was however met with harsh criticism, especially from South Africans who are reminding her of the alleged crime her parents did when she was born. Comments ranged from people asking her where her father is as he should be locked up, to people calling her family alleged criminals.

However, the former Miss South Africa contestant, who dropped out from the competition due to the cyberbullying, did not let the hateful remarks slide.

In her responses, Adetshina said her dad is in Mzansi and not hiding. She also made claims that Nigerians are better than South Africans. “Nigerians will always be better, and that’s why you’re bitter,” she said responding to a critic. In another clapback, she said, “In Nigeria, we know how to handle people like you.”

Some of her fans warned her that beauty queens in her position do not resort to name-calling, they simply just ignore the hate. However, Chichi exclaimed, “One thing about me, I will come for you and your generation. I’m not the one!”
