Nadia Nakai speaks out after Netflix snub
Nadia Nakai has broken her silence following her absence from the upcoming fourth season of Young, Famous & African.
The rapper and reality TV star, who was a prominent cast member in previous seasons, took to TikTok to express her disappointment, hinting that her authenticity may have cost her a spot on the show.
In the short clip posted on 22 June 2025, Nadia appeared unfazed but subtly threw shade at the production team.
Her caption read: “When YFA didn’t ask you to come back for the new season cos they’d rather have drama than realness. 🙄”
Fans were quick to weigh in, with mixed reactions flooding social media.
Some agreed that Nadia brought a genuine energy to the series and deserved to return, while others claimed she didn’t offer enough compelling content to hold viewers’ interest.
A few critics suggested the show needed fresher faces and more dramatic storylines, with names like Cyan Boujee and Lasizwe thrown into the mix.
While the official reason behind her exclusion remains unclear, Nadia’s reaction has sparked a new wave of conversation
