- Nigerians call on the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu to address the issue on Sunday
The Zinwe pair - Chinwe and Zion, have come under fire on social media for body shaming and slut shaming fellow housemate, Nelly.
Chinwe and Zion had a conversation on Wednesday August 7 where they talked down on Nelly cooking skills, her body and also insinuated that she sells her body to clients instead of food.
While speaking about the Tiger task they had earlier in the day, Chinwe said: “chef wey no sabi cook, dey pack oil and crayfish full the food.” and her boyfriend, Zion said: “You know all these girls nah, you now write Chef on your bio, wey dey say na home cook, wey dey go first chop you before they chop the food.”
Chinwe also called Nelly “mid except for when she is coming to shake her hanging yansh” during a conversation with Ruthie on the same day.
Nelly’s social media handler posted on her Instagram page, Official_queennelly that: “Nelly is a highly respected chef based in Lagos, known for catering numerous events and delivering meals through her online restaurant (FOOD2POT) to over 40,000 clients, including charitable contributions to those in need. She is also an accomplished event planner.
“Loud mouthed individuals should refrain from reducing Nelly to their professions or project themselves on Nelly because EVIDENCE DEY 🔥 the evidence of her success speaks volumes.”
These comments have earned the Zinwe duo a lot of backlash with many calling on the show’s host, Ebuka Obi Uchendu to address the situation and ask Chinwe and Zion questions about their comments during the Sunday Live eviction show.
