Twitter drags Cassper Nyovest over Isidingo shaming claims

Cassper Nyovest took to social media this week to slam the popular soapie Isidingo for “shaming” rapper Nadia Nakai.

The SABC 3 show featured a scene in one episode about the recent drama over a picture of Nadia with no makeup.

Numerous social media users criticised Nadia for looking “unrecognisable” without a face of full makeup.

The incident inspired the #NadiaNakaiMakeupChallenge which resulted in scores of Twitter users sharing pictures of themselves with and without makeup.

But Cassper thought Isidingo was being shady when it aired a scene with two of its characters discussing Nadia’s shocking transformation.

“Someone sent me this clip of Isidingo shaming Nadia Nakai like all the other Cyber bullies. A whole Isidingo ? I wonder how they think the poor girl will feel. Wow. Ra di bona hle,” he tweeted.

But it seems Cassper misinterpreted the scene, and many Twitter let him know what was really going on.

“Cassper they weren’t shaming her broe. @IsidingoSABC3 Is relevant like that, they even did that with fill up Fnb they keep up with what’s trending… All I heard was them actually encouraging the hash tag not bashing her.,” one Twitter user replied.

Another added: “Actually I didn’t hear any shaming words they were just surprised like most of us Ehhhh. I didn’t hear any complain when they were talking about fillup.”

Meanwhile, Nadia says she doesn’t believe Isidingo was trying to shame her.

“I understand that they need to keep their script current and this is something that they usually do. So, I don’t expect them to treat the situation differently, just because it’s me.

“I don’t feel like they shamed me or owe me anything, but they did add fuel to the fire, which was unnecessary and that’s why Cassper commented,” she told You magazine.
