The glitz and glamour of Mihlali Ndamase’s jet-setting lifestyle took a tumultuous turn when controversy erupted over a seemingly harmless photo taken alongside global icon Rihanna. Invited to a star-studded Fenty Beauty event in California, the South African influencer documented her journey to America on Instagram, delighting fans with glimpses of her exclusive trip.

However, the excitement turned sour when Ndamase shared a photo of herself standing side by side with Rihanna on her X page (formerly known as Twitter) , drawing sharp scrutiny from eagle-eyed followers. Allegations surfaced that Ndamase had digitally altered the image, applying a filter solely to her face and not to Rihanna’s, purportedly to enhance her own appearance.

As the post gained traction and trended across social media platforms, critics on X condemned Ndamase for what they perceived as a deliberate attempt to outshine Rihanna. ChrisExcel on X, among others, accused Ndamase of vanity, alleging that she not only applied the filter but also liked comments praising her appearance over Rihanna’s.

The backlash was swift and unforgiving, with some American commentators branding Ndamase as “bitter” and “insecure” for resorting to such tactics. Accusations of disrespect towards Rihanna and claims of jealousy marred Ndamase’s once-celebrated trip, overshadowing the glamour of the Fenty Beauty event.

Yet, amidst the storm of criticism, loyal supporters rallied behind Ndamase, affirming her beauty and dismissing the controversy as trivial. Undeterred, Ndamase’s advocates stood firm in their defense, praising her enduring beauty and resilience in the face of adversity.

I am not such a fan of Mihlali Ndamase, I don’t like her character at all!

There is absolutely nothing that can be done, or said about ridiculing her beauty.

Mihlali is a very beautiful Woman 🙌🔥, I fear your fave Rihanna doesn’t stand a chance with Mihlali 🔥🔥🔥🔥. pic.twitter.com/ky4DlGe9oA
