Why I deactivated my X account, Chidimma Adetshina opens up

Chidimma Adetshina, the newly-crowned Miss Universe Nigeria, recently revealed that she decided to delete her X page due to the impact of negative feedback on her mental health. 

Adetshina had previously faced criticism during her Miss South Africa contest, and allegations of fraud and identity theft involving her mother surfaced from the South African Department of Home Affairs (DHA).

In an interview with Arise 360, the 23-year-old admitted that the persistent negative comments led her to step away from the platform, finding relief in her decision to remove the app.

“I had to delete it because I felt like it was too much for me. I’m a comment reader so I read each and every comment; that’s the thing. So for me, I could spend 80% of my day reading comments.

”I’d read the comments and all and it became toxic for me. I use Instagram but I did limit my comment section one time,” Adetshina explained.

Chidinma, however, thanked her fans for the support she received.
