Nengi receives backlash after sharing photo of herself at 12

Rebecca Nengi Thompson, a reality star and former Miss Nigeria contestant, is currently under fire after she posted a photo of herself at 12.

Taking to Twitter, the former Big Brother Naija housemate posted the photo she took many years back with her cousin, and claimed to be 12 years old – this assertion didn’t go well with many users on the platform who called her out for lying about her age.

This is not the first time social media users are calling Nengi out for her age. In the past, Nengi had to share her national passport to fans in order to back her claim of being 23, even at that many doubted.

Sharing the throwback photo, Nengi wrote;

”Me and my cousin.. 12 yo me lol.. don’t laugh”
