Fall From Grace!? Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty Unfollows Mihlali Ndamase Amid Backlash

Mihlali Ndamase, the popular South African fashion influencer, has been making waves in the media recently due to her rumoured fallout with Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty.

It all started a few weeks ago when Mihlali was spotted with the Barbados-born singer in Los Angeles, California. The two rubbed shoulders at the launch of Fenty Beauty’s Soft Glow Foundation, and their photos together went viral.

One of the viral photos showed Mihlali and Rihanna sharing a lighthearted moment, both of them smiling.

However, some fans of the celebrated billionaire accused Mihlali of overediting her photos with Rihanna.

They claimed that she was trying to make herself look better than the famous singer. Mihlali’s response to these accusations was cryptic, but it didn’t stop Fenty Beauty from unfollowing her on Instagram.

Despite the fallout, Mihlali’s followers praised her for outshining Rihanna at the event and liked comments suggesting that she looked better than the star.

However, her actions didn’t go unnoticed, and she was unfollowed seemingly because she liked nasty messages about Rihanna on her timeline.

The fallout between Mihlali Ndamase and Fenty Beauty sparked a heated debate on social media. Popular user Aphelele Jody’s post about Fenty Beauty unfollowing Mihlali quickly gained attention.

Fans speculated about the reasons behind the unfollow, and some even implicated Nohle Thema, a celebrated media personality known for her ego issues.

While some users criticised Mihlali for liking negative comments about Rihanna, others defended her and accused her critics of clout-chasing. The incident became a hot topic, with fans divided on whether Mihlali’s actions were justified or not.
