” So this guy @iamadeogooluwayimika said I’m not allowed on the most handsome men in Nigeria list because I’m BIG. LOL! ••• So comments like these brush off me like a leaf falling from a tree, ZERO IMPACT. ZERO DAMAGE. ••• I’m a big guy, yes.I’ve been big for the past 10yrs, yes. .Did I have a severe back injury whilst in the gym trying to look how people wanted me to look? Absolutely.I’ve been trolled and even had producers not want to work with me after calling me “FAT”, yes.Did it affect me years ago? Yes.Does it affect me now? Never.Has it affected my acting or my career? I’d let my movies speak for me.What about my personality? Never.Or my health? Nope. ••• Now some would say “Ignore these trolls”, I should shouldn’t I? Yes. •• The thing is… this post ain’t for me or about me, it’s for others like me who get BODY SHAMED or called “UNPRETTY” because they’re larger than their peers. •”
