Do y'all really have a problem with Tinashe denying being Zimbabwean or its peer pressure?

So @Tinashe is trending because of y'all Zimbos being at it again ?

Justified you have never been to Zimbabwe but don't be ashamed of your Zimbabwean roots.

Pretty sure Danish people have never ever dragged #Tinashe for not acknowledging her Danish roots like you lot…

Why are Zimbabweans being mean to Tinashe? No wonder she doesn’t want to be associated with this country. Ya’ll mean for no reason.

Tinashe has never set foot in Zimbabwe her whole life. And people want her to say she is Zimbabwean.

This obsession with trying to get Tinashe to say she’s 100% Zimbabwean or that she’s ‘from Zimbabwe’ is just damn weird
