‘Generation sensitive': Summer Walker defends ‘dark humour' in Wandi Ndlovu controversy
She expressed frustration toward the criticism, saying this generation is 'sensitive as f**k.'
Ironically, the pair have reportedly gone under the knife for cosmetic surgery, and both received mixed reactions.
WARNING: This story contains strong language.
American singer Summer Walker is no stranger to controversy, but her latest post on social media sparked division. Earlier in the week, the Girls Need Love hitmaker came under fire for sharing an edited photo of South African reality star Wandi Ndlovu on her Instagram.
The image portrayed Ndlovu's thighs replaced with roasted chicken legs - a move some critics labelled as body-shaming. See the post here.
Walker wasted no time defending herself. Addressing the backlash, she said: 'I understand that a lot of y'all don't get my personality or my dark humour. This shit's funny. I post so much stupid ass shit anyway on my spam page, and we all just have a laugh, and it's so funny.'
Unapologetically, she added: 'I'm not body shaming. This generation [is] sensitive as f**k.'
The incident gained further traction because both women were rumoured to have undergone similar cosmetic enhancements, prompting both criticism and debate about societal standards of beauty.
'Take me back. Oh my God, Katt Williams, Dave Chappelle—like y'all so sensitive. I love her; I don't even know this girl. She's bad as f**k. She looks so good. It was not in that way,' Walker said. 'It was funny 'cause it's ridiculous—like, who would put roasted chicken legs on somebody? That's so funny. It has nothing to do with the girl; calm down.'

‘Love Island USA': Massive Dumping Sees 5 Islanders Exit Villa As America Stands On Business With Record Vote
SPOILER ALERT: This post contains details from Season 7, Episode 27. Whenever Ariana Madix shows up at the Love Island USA villa, it's never with good news. More from Deadline 'Love Island USA' Sets Fan Voting Record After Season 7 Villa's Simmering Tensions Finally Boil Over Mafia Game Creator Says 'The Traitors' Producers Didn't Reach Out To Him: "Game Designers' Work Deserves Recognition & Reward" 'Love Island USA's Iain Stirling Apologizes For Jeremiah Brown Joke After Dumping: "It Was A Misjudgment By Me" Although Madix's intervention in the villa on Episode 27 started off as fun and games, it quickly turned real with a mass exodus of Islanders following a public vote. RELATED: The Season 7 Islanders played a game to see if they were in tune with America, ranking each other based on votes from the public. At the end of the game, Madix told the Islanders that America also voted for their favorite girl and boy in the villa, but this time, the vote would put them at risk of being dumped. Madix revealed the three boys and three girls who received the least number of votes, leaving them vulnerable to being dumped from the villa. The boys with the fewest votes were Taylor Williams, TJ Palma, and Austin Shepard. The girls with the fewest votes were Jaden Duggar, Gracyn Blackmore, and Andreina Santos. RELATED: Madix then explained that only one Islander would be safe, and the decision would be up to the safe Islanders. One by one, each of the Islanders stepped up and stood behind the fellow Islander they wanted to save. How did the Islanders vote? Jaden: Bryan, Chris Gracyn: Elan Andreina: Huda, Amaya, Chelley TJ: Iris, Zak Taylor: Clarke, Pepe, Nic, Ace, Cierra Austin: Olandria Who was safe and who was eliminated from Season 7, Episode 27? After all the Islanders voted, with five votes to save Taylor, Taylor was safe from elimination and would continue his journey on Love Island USA. The Islanders that didn't get the majority of votes and were therefore eliminated were Jaden, Gracyn, Andreina, TJ, and Austin. Earlier today, Deadline reported that Love Island USA fans set a voting record following Tuesday night's episode with the 'Stand on Business' dynamic, where Islanders had to give their takes on each other. Following the episode, the mobile app received more than 1M votes in the first six minutes, per internal data. Once the 2.5-hour voting window closed, the app had received votes from more than 3.5M unique users. Scroll through the photo gallery below to see the Islanders that were dumped from Season 7, Episode 27.
