In a recent turn of events, a video posted by Nadzirah Ridzuan, a UiTM (Universiti Teknologi Mara) student and social media influencer, has gone viral on various platforms, especially the X application.
The video showcases Nadzirah in a Lamborghini, indulging in high-end places, causing a stir among netizens, considering that UiTM is known for catering to underprivileged students.
UiTM student with a lavish lifestyle
The controversy gained traction as critics questioned how a full-time university student could afford such a lavish lifestyle.
The video was reposted on an account on the X platform, further fueling the debate surrounding the authenticity of Nadzirah’s lifestyle.
‘I do collaborations, I do business’
Responding to the criticisms, Nadzirah took to TikTok for a live broadcast to clarify the situation.
With nearly two thousand followers, she explained that the video was a result of collaborations with several brands, and the Lamborghini in question was not her personal vehicle.
In her live broadcast, Nadzirah addressed the skepticism, stating,
“How many times do I have to say this? I do collaborations, I do business—everything I do is something I want to promote. What I share will reach the target audience. The luxury car is a collaboration for the promotion of the company. My food is sponsored too; I just put it all together into a lifestyle video.”
The influencer defended her lifestyle choices, emphasising that her social media presence revolves around promoting various brands through collaborations.
While she admitted to being a full-time student, she highlighted that the opportunities she receives are a result of her business endeavours.
Netizens weigh in
Looking at the comment sections, many have given their varied perspectives.
One commenter expressed, “It’s a shame that the rich study at the institution that’s made for students who are from average-income families.”
Another comment, laced with sarcasm, read, “It’s confirmed that she’s been doing a lot of saving since infancy.”
A different perspective was shared by another observer, stating, “She just studies there for the affordability. Other unis are expensive.”
