By Damilola A.

Kemi Olunloyo, the controversial journalist, has come forward to apologies to Eniola Badmus, the Nigerian actress, for fat-shaming her after she asked fans why people describe her as ugly.

However, Kemi replied and explained to Eniola that she is not ugly rather she is concerned about her weight which might cause her health challenges.

She wrote:

” Dear @eniola_badmus
You once told me the world doesn’t need me cos I called you fat and obese simply because of health reasons. 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 cheering you up are gonna be the ones writing #RIP if these diseases afflict u and kill you God forbid. The truth is that people are dying daily from complications of obesity. I care about you. Sorry I “fat shamed” u in the past. Stay healthy.”

Okay Nigeria recalls that Kemi fat-shamed Eniola in bid to advised her on health challenges that comes with being fat.

She wrote:

“The pretty fat lady in black is definitely #EniolaBadmus’ relative as seen at her dad’s funeral Fidau. Many of the people attacking my social criticism of her weight will be crying #RIP if she were to die of high blood pressure, diabetes or heart disease. Nigerians need to eat less, work out and maintain a healthy weight and drink 8 glasses of water daily. Fat does not run in any family, it is accumulated from eating too much. #hnnhealth”
