Unveiling The Rift: Is This The Reason Behind Bonang And Nadia Nakai’s Beef?
The strained relationship between Bonang Matheba and Nadia Nakai on the show Young, Famous, and African has left viewers curious about the reasons behind their fallout.
While it is true that Bonang Matheba and Nadia Nakai were both romantically involved with the late rapper AKA, Nadia asserts that the discord between her and Queen B stems from issues predating their shared connection.
This underlying tension between the two is evident in the popular Netflix reality series, set to premiere on Friday, May 19, as they actively avoid crossing paths.
This begs the question: Could their avoidance be the primary reason for their frosty relations?
BONANG GETS BLUE-TICKED BY NADIA NAKAI
Episode one of the show showcases Bonang Matheba’s highly anticipated arrival as she makes a grand entrance at a dinner party hosted by Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz.
Bonang Matheba’s integration into the close-knit circle is facilitated by Nigerian socialite and fashion designer Swanky Jerry.
However, as soon as Bonang arrives at the party, Nadia Nakai and her friend Khanyi Mbau promptly make their exit, suggesting a deliberate avoidance of any interaction with Bonang.
Reflecting on the experience, B said in a confessional:
“I feel very awkward. Because just how people welcome me, I think that was very cold.”
Nadia later confesses to having beef with Queen B.
Without going into details, the female rapper says of their history:
“I think I was more heartbroken, cause I really felt like she was my sis. You know things happen in a relationship. You fall out, and that’s ok”.
DATING AKA…UNFOLLOWING EACH OTHER
In 2022, Bonang Matheba and Nadia Nakai grabbed headlines because of their connection to AKA.
Bonang had been in a relationship with the rapper from 2015 to 2017, during which AKA admitted that their romance had commenced while his baby mama DJ Zinhle was pregnant.
In March 2022, AKA and Nadia Nakai made their relationship official on Instagram, surprising social media users.
It was speculated that Bonang Matheba was taken aback by the announcement, leading her to swiftly unfollow Nadia on social media.
Despite this, neither Bonang nor Nadia has openly addressed or publicly discussed the alleged fallout between them, leaving the details of their rift largely unknown.
