Media personality Boity has lashed out against body-shaming trolls, reminding people that weight gain is part of life.

It all began after images of the media personality celebrating a birthday came to light on Twitter. Boity can be seen partying it up at an all-white party with friends and loved ones.

What seemed like an innocent update on the 4436 rapper’s lit social life turned into trolls commenting on her supposed “weight gain”.

She must hit the gym, her cellulitis 🚮💔

However, the star didn’t take the comments lying down.

She told the weight gain police that she didn’t care about their comments.

“Bathong lona? Leave my weight gain alone. It happens,” said Boity.

“As long as I’m happy and making that paper, Akere bo lovey?” she added.

Bathong lona? Leave my weight gain alone. 😩 It happens. 🤷🏾‍♀️😘

If you are overweight they'll say that you eat too much if you loose wait they'll say you look sick if you dress👗 nice they'll say you show off and if you dress simple they'll say you're poor, Unfortunately no matter what you do people will always find a way to criticize you 🙌
