Christy O, a participant in Big Brother Naija season 7, stirred controversy on Twitter between Nigerians and South-Africans. She did this by questioning the professionalism of makeup artists and photographers from South Africa. In a tweet, the reality TV star queried the quality of work produced by South African MUAs and photographers.
She wondered whether there were no good ones in South Africa. According to her, Nigerian makeup artists and photographers do an excellent job of enhancing people’s beauty even if the person is not naturally attractive. However, the same cannot be said for South Africans.
Her tweet sparked mixed reactions online, with many South Africans expressing their displeasure at her comments. Some comments went as far as criticizing Nigerian women’s looks. They claimed that the women for hide their natural looks behind excessive makeup and heavy photoshopping. Others said Christy O was throwing shade at Khosi Twala, the winner of the just-concluded Big Brother Titans show.
However, others believed that Christy O’s comments were directed at Khosi Twala and her fans, and they called for her account to be reported.
