Nadia Nakai on underestimating the island
According to The Citizen, the rapper, endearingly referred to as Bragga, reflected on her journey and shared just how much she underestimated how difficult the challenges would actually be.
“I think I underestimated Tropika Island of Treasure. You watch the games and think they look so simple, but when you’re under pressure and trying to win a challenge, it becomes quite daunting,” she said.
However, through facing the challenges, she reflects fondly on the lessons they taught her.
“The experience taught me about teamwork and the importance of not letting my emotions get the better of me,” she shared.
After facing several eliminations together, the two teammates were ultimately eliminated, yet she still appreciated how much help Khuluse was in keeping her focused during difficult moments.
“He was such a good motivator and someone who could immediately get me back on track, which I really appreciated,” she said.

Nadia Nakai embraces the island’s beauty
Even though the island got the better of her after being left vulnerable by a Mystery Box, she still enjoyed exploring and seeing the beauty of the island.
“It’s a gorgeous place and, to be honest, it reminds me a lot of Cape Town. The beaches are beautiful, the food was amazing, and the hotel we stayed at was so opulent. It’s also a beautiful wedding destination.”
