South African rapper Nadia Nakai has found herself in the midst of controversy because of a wig. The owner of a 26-inch curly frontal wig, valued at R6500 and belonging to Senia of FashionWins Hair Collection in Namibia, accused Nakai of borrowing the wig and failing to return it on time.
Controversial blogger Musa Khawula revealed the alleged incident on Tuesday, December 20. According to Khawula, Nakai, the girlfriend of the late rapper AKA, encountered a wig emergency while set to perform in Namibia on September 22. Lacking suitable wigs for the performance, Nakai reportedly borrowed one of Senia’s prized wigs with the understanding that she would either return it or pay R6500.
However, to Senia’s surprise, Nakai was allegedly spotted back in South Africa, wearing the borrowed wig without settling the payment. Senia reached out to Nadia’s management asking for the wig back, but her efforts were fruitless. She went on to have a social media rant to which Nadia responded that she never took her wig on Instagram. However, fans grew confused when Senia shared that she got her money from the rapper.
Khawula shared a screenshot of Senia’s appreciative post, confirming the receipt of payment for the wig. Senia expressed gratitude to her supporters, mentioning that she would donate N$1500 (approximately R1800) to charity.
From the bottom of my heart, I must thank you all, my lovely Namibians, for the utmost support during my wig issue. I can confirm that I have just received the payment for the wig and will be deleting all my posts regarding this matter.

Reactions on social media varied, with some expressing scepticism and others sympathizing with Nakai. Here are a few responses:

“Now she paid… so it’s clear the lady was right and Nadia was just gaslighting her,”

“Should’ve just apologized and paid from the beginning. Don’t tell us you have 1 million weaves, conclude [that] she’s a mean girl🚮,”
