Meanwhile, Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Tems recently blasted a troll who tried to mock her physique online.
She recently addressed the ongoing obsession with her appearance with a powerful message.
According to her, while she never thought she would ever need to address it directly, she needs the constant comments about her body to stop.
“Okay, 7 years in. It’s time to pack it up. I never thought I’d need to say it but you are all weird. ‘It’s small, it’s flat, it’s fat.’
Dog, IT’S MINE.
‘Show us your bumbum’ — lol, so me too I will turn and say ‘see 🥰’? Nah, show ME yours first?? See how that feels?
It’s just a body. I will add and lose weight. I never once hid my body, I just didn’t feel the need to prove or disprove anyone.
The more you don’t like my body, the better for me actually.
But it’s enough now. Move on from my bum,” she said.
