Journalist David Hundeyin fiercely defends Miss Universe 2024 runner-up Chidimma Adetshina, shutting down a South African critic with a brutal clapback. Famed investigative journalist David Hundeyin fiercely clapped back at a South African critic who mocked Chidimma Adetshina’s second-place finish at the 2024 Miss Universe pageant.
The beauty queen, who had previously faced rejection and controversy in South Africa over her ancestry, won global admiration by emerging as the first runner-up. While her achievement was celebrated by many, a South African critic, @ApheleleJody, took to social media to express satisfaction that Chidimma didn’t clinch the top spot, stating:
“As long as it is not Chidimma Adetshina who won Miss Universe 2024, we good ????.”
Hundeyin, known for his no-nonsense approach, wasted no time dismantling the critic’s take. In an extensive response, he highlighted the impressive rewards Chidimma would enjoy as the first runner-up, contrasting them with the critic’s perceived insignificance. He wrote:
“Her package as first runner-up includes $100,000 cash, a 1-year lease on a luxury apartment in New York, a $3m diamond-encrusted crown, and access to high-level opportunities in modeling and entertainment.
Your package, as a guy with pink boxers in your Twitter display pic, is posting semi-nude pictures of Jason Derulo, who will never know you exist. The only thing you’ll ever achieve is being the offspring of a C-list South African soap actress no one under 43 remembers.”
Hundeyin’s sharp wit and unapologetic response quickly gained traction, with many lauding him for defending Chidimma while calling out the unnecessary criticism. The internet was abuzz, turning his response into a viral moment of triumph for the celebrated journalist and the beauty queen.
