“BBL is old fashion and very unattractive.”
The blunt remark quickly went viral, garnering over 369,000 views within hours and sparking intense online debate.

While some fans applauded the singer for promoting body positivity and natural beauty, others accused him of body-shaming women who choose to undergo cosmetic surgery.
Critics argued that everyone has the right to enhance their bodies as they see fit and that celebrities should be more cautious about how their opinions influence their fans.
However, supporters of Omah Lay praised him for being honest and for challenging what they see as a growing trend of unrealistic beauty standards in pop culture.
