Olunloyo stressed that she doesn’t want the actress to slip into HBP, diabetes or a stroke due to her body mass. She, however, apologised saying “you definitely ain’t ugly but pretty.”
“You once told me the world doesn’t need me cos I called you fat and obese simply because of health reasons @eniola_badmus.
“I don’t want you to slip into HBP, diabetes or a stroke. You definitely ain’t UGLY.
“You are definitely pretty. Your weight is my concern and you are not the first I’m going to advise. Some of your fans are gonna be writing #RIP if these diseases afflict u. I care. Sorry I “fat shamed” u in the past,”@ kemiolunloyo wrote.
