Nadia Nakai is once again facing criticism for being provocative, and this time, online users said she took things too far.

The Zimbabwean-South African rapper is facing backlash after sharing a video of herself twerking on a commercial flight.

The video, posted on 5 September 2025, was to promote the second season of Nadia's reality show, Beyond Bragga, which officially airs on 6 September.

BafanaSurprise threw shade at Nadia Nakai:

"These are the kind of women you just have overnight and part ways with them before sunrise. You can’t publicly declare a woman like this as your wife, unless you are on coke."

_Thuba_K_ added:

"She really has nothing else to offer."

ASZulu posted:

"Mega dodged a bullet in the figurative sense."

MakhosazanaKha3 reacted:

"One thing about twerking, it makes one look like they lack class and morals, man. Such a trashy and sordid thing to do in public."

Despite previously addressing the hate for her outfits, many critics asked whether being fully clothed would take away from her beauty or music.

Nevertheless, loyal fans of the rapper continue to fawn over her talent and style, overlooking the hateful comments while focusing their attention on her moves on and off the stage.
