Popular Afrobeats singer Omah Lay has sparked heated debate online after sharing his candid opinion about Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs). The Soso crooner took to his official X (formerly Twitter) account on Wednesday, where he described BBLs as “old fashion and very unattractive.”
His brief post quickly went viral, racking up over 369,000 views within hours and igniting widespread reactions from fans and Afrobeats lovers around the world.
Omah Lay simply wrote:
“BBLs are old fashion and very unattractive.”
The comment has since divided social media. Some praised him for promoting natural bodies and challenging unrealistic beauty trends, while others felt his statement was insensitive to women who choose cosmetic surgery for personal reasons.
One user on X wrote:
“Omah Lay said what needed to be said. Natural bodies will always be timeless.”
Another disagreed:
“Nobody asked for your opinion, let women do what makes them happy.”
The singer’s statement has reignited conversations about beauty standards in the entertainment industry and beyond. BBLs—which involve transferring body fat to enhance the buttocks—remain one of the most popular cosmetic procedures globally, with many celebrities and influencers flaunting their results online and setting trends that influence younger fans.
As the debate continues, Omah Lay hasn’t issued any follow-up comments, leaving fans and critics to hash it out online.
