Controversial Beauty Queen Chidimma Adetshina Breaks Her Silence Amid Deportation Reports

• Former Miss Universe Nigeria Chidimma Adetshina finally broke her silence just days after the reports of her potential deportation
• The beauty queen updated her social media with glamorous pictures and a cryptic song choice that hinted at how unbothered she is by the backlash
• Her latest legal battle follows months of reports regarding Adetshina's legal status, and despite the mounting evidence, she and her loyal supporters remain unfazed

Controversial beauty queen and reigning Miss Universe Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, has broken her social media silence just days after shocking reports emerged that she is facing imminent deportation from South Africa.

According to Briefly News, the 25-year-old was arrested by immigration officials in the Summer Greens area of Cape Town. The Department of Home Affairs alleges that the model has been residing in the country unlawfully after previously being declared a prohibited person. Adetshina reportedly made a quiet appearance in the Cape Town Regional Court on 9 June 2026, where she was released on a warning while Home Affairs proceeds with the necessary legal steps to secure her deportation.

Her latest legal battle follows a long, highly publicised history of citizenship scandals in South Africa. Adetshina originally withdrew from the Miss South Africa 2024 pageant after a preliminary investigation by Home Affairs uncovered prima facie evidence of fraud and identity theft linked to her mother’s acquisition of South African identity documents. The department subsequently revoked her South African identity papers.

Despite the severity of the pending court case, Adetshina continues to prove that she remains unbothered by her constant legal battles, choosing instead to show the world the brighter side of her life.

Taking to her page on 3 July, the pageant star shared a series of stunning pictures of herself enjoying an outing at the premium FYRE Dining restaurant in Cape Town. Looking elegant and completely unfazed by the media storm, she proved she is not letting her legal troubles dull her shine.

However, it was in her Instagram story that she chose to send a subtle message to critics. Reposting one of the glamorous images from her timeline, Adetshina added the song Let Me Be by The Sound Voice to play in the background.

The song choice is highly symbolic, acting as a quiet but clear message to both the media and her critics to give her a break; however, not even a cryptic message is enough to make her troubles disappear.
