During a Twitter QnA, American RnB musician Tinashe was asked if she’s from Zimbabwe. She responded “my dad is”. Soon after, someone replied to her tweet, “This chick is dull if your dad is Zim it just means you’re zimbabwean by descend.” To which she responded:
Right, and they asked me if I was *from zim not if I was of Zimbabwean descent y’all don’t even make sense lol mad for no reason

There have been mixed reactions to her tweets from people on Twitter. Here are some interesting ones we picked:
I am of Malawian decent, parents both born and raised in Malawi but I’m Zimbabwean because this is where I was born & that’s what I identify with…. I really don’t think @Tinashe is being unreasonable for her stance! Should we be forcing the Nationality on her?

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

Tinashe says his dad is Zimbabwean the whole county goes wild throwing everything at her
If she organises a gig in Zim #Twimbos will you fill it up ? or you will be like nxaaa hatikazivi kamu American aka and 0.01% attendance will follow #zimbabwean 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/OpECxoa1pD

Good company better quality cars
Who cares!That’s her choice after all.
DNA never changed. Location of birth is just that. We are human… some carved up sections with names for not identify any human…
Like an African African denying that they are African because they have never been to Africa but their ancestors are African? Lawd
Shona people are bustards always obsessed
It’s you who is dull and stupid nxaaaa l m a Ndau guy proudly a ZIMBABWEAN
Leave her if she doesn’t like her guys, she doesn’t have origins, simple as that
Grow up kid you’re a zimbabwean
I don’t see why people are obsessed with the issue. She’s Zimbabwean but only by descent so what’s the big deal? She doesn’t even know Zimbabwe and will probably never set foot into the country. Let her be!
Who give a damn whether shez a zimbo or not
I don’t see why people are so obsessed about this Tinashe being Zimbwean or not who cares , her father is Zimbo that’s cool so what siyaimwana imi vana vevhu 😂😂
If I were Tinashe,I would probably say the same,its here choice
If her father was Zimbabwean abd her mother is american why tgey named her Shona name? They could have named her an American name… I think she was born in Zimbabwe and move to America with her Shona parents. I don’t see a reason why she is saying she is not Zimbabwean, she must just day I am Zimbabwean
