Nollywood actress Ayo Adesanya has expressed concern over young women engaging in potentially harmful practices to gain attention on social media. In a December 2024 interview, she emphasized the dangers of seeking quick financial gains and cautioned against being misled by the often deceptive portrayals online.
While Adesanya did not specifically mention Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) surgeries, other Nollywood actresses have addressed this issue directly. Jumoke George, for instance, questioned the rationale behind undergoing BBL procedures, highlighting the associated health risks and urging women to appreciate their natural beauty.
Similarly, Rita Edochie issued a stern warning to women who have undergone BBL surgeries, stating that their “days are numbered” and emphasizing the consequences of altering one’s body.
These actresses collectively advocate for self-acceptance and caution against making irreversible decisions for the sake of fleeting social media trends, emphasizing the importance of valuing one’s natural self over succumbing to external pressures.
She wrote – “Stop causing permanent d.a.m.a.g.e to yourself just to trend. When your BBL expīres, nobody will bear the p.a.i.n.s with you” – Ayo Adesanya
This BBL craze won’t last forever. Very soon, it will stop working. People dey take mundane things serious now, so the artificial dey sell. But for how long?
Back then, we no get BBL, we no get filter. Just raw talent. We still dey here. The original actors, we still dey shine. We dey do well – and not by ass or hips.
Build your talent. Make your name with your gift. Not every movie needs nyāsh. Not every role needs a body you forced on yourself.
A few years from now, another trend go come. But the pain wey you carry, nobody go carry am with you. You go dey suffer am alone. BBL no be ticket to success.
