South African hit maker, Master KG, has announced splitting from his partner, Queen Makhadzi, but his fans are not completely sold on the break up, with some believing it could be another publicity stunt.

The skepticism stems from the fact that couple have gone through the “break up” routine on three different occasions in the past which all turned out to be false.

The pair have had an on and off relationship for the past three years, but the recent announcement on Monday by the “Jerusalema” singer is no longer a surprise as Master KG is responsible for starting the rumour mill about their “official split”.

In a deleted Facebook post, the musician and producer announced that he and his “Queen” Makhadzi were no longer together but would continue to work together for their fans.

“Me and Makhadzi parted ways months ago to focus on our careers. We are still young and we need to achieve big things. (We) hope everyone understands and respects that. I am no longer going to answer anything related to this. Thanks,” Master KG said.

According to South African entertainment sources, Makhadzi shared Master KG‘s post, claiming it was an error, leading to people believing this was another publicity stunt the pair have come to be known for.

The Limpopo celebrity couple first broke up publicly in 2020 after they chose to focus on their careers, but a few weeks later, they were back together, telling their fans they had not broken up.

In May last year, Makhadzi took to her Facebook timeline to share a snap of a report about them breaking up again claiming it was “fake news”.

Chidimma Adetshina, Nigeria’s representative at the 73rd Miss Universe Competition held in Mexico, made history as she finished as the first runner-up at the pageant.

The reigning Miss Universe Nigeria finished on the podium of the event held at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City on Sunday morning after an electrifying final face-off between Nigeria and Denmark, as the two women looked poised to claim the crown.

Adetshina, who competed against over 120 contestants from around the world, delivered Nigeria’s best-ever performance in the prestigious competition.

The competition, which was described as one of the most thrilling in recent years, celebrated the talents, intelligence, and elegance of women from around the globe.

A post by the pageant organizers on Instagram said:

“The final two! Nigeria and Denmark, two incredible women, one unforgettable moment.

“Miss Denmark, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, ultimately won the crown taking over from Miss Universe 2023, Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.”

The top five were rounded out by Miss Mexico, María Fernanda Beltrán Figueroa, in third place, along with contestants from Thailand and Venezuela.

This year’s pageant was celebrated as one of the most inclusive in Miss Universe history, featuring first-time entries from Iran and Somalia and an expanded lineup of 30 semifinalists, showcasing greater diversity and global representation.

Chidimma’s path to the Miss Universe Nigeria was controversial at best as she had previously entered the Miss South Africa pageant but withdrew following criticism of her nationality and allegations from South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs concerning her mother’s documents.

She was later invited to participate in Miss Universe Nigeria and emerged as the winner of the beauty pageant ahead of 24 other contestants.
