Popular Afrobeats star Omah Lay has stirred fresh conversations on social media after expressing his views on Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs). The singer, known for hits like Soso and Understand, took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account to share his opinion, describing BBLs as “old fashion and very unattractive.”
His post, shared on Wednesday, quickly caught the attention of fans and followers across various platforms. Within just a few hours, it had attracted over 369,000 views, drawing in a wave of reactions from Nigerians and Afrobeats listeners globally.
In a brief but direct statement, Omah Lay wrote:
“BBLs are old fashion and very unattractive.”
The comment has since divided social media users. While some applauded the artist for speaking his mind and promoting body positivity, others criticized the tone of his message, saying it could be hurtful or dismissive to women who choose cosmetic surgery.
One X user responded:
“Omah Lay said what needed to be said. Natural bodies will always be timeless.”
Another user countered:
“Nobody asked for your opinion, let women do what makes them happy.”
For many, the singer’s statement touches on a broader cultural conversation about beauty standards, especially in the entertainment world. Brazilian Butt Lifts, which involve transferring fat to enhance the buttocks, have become a widely popular cosmetic procedure in Nigeria and globally. Celebrities and influencers often flaunt their post-surgery bodies on social media, influencing trends among younger audiences.
