In a swift show of solidarity, controversial media personality Daddy Freeze has publicly defended Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing after an unflattering photo from her gym session leaked online, sparking a wave of body-shaming trolls.
The drama unfolded earlier this week when an unidentified individual snapped a candid shot of Blessing during a workout at a Lagos gym, capturing her with a visibly bloated stomach post-exercise. The image quickly went viral on social media, drawing cruel comments from netizens who mocked her appearance and questioned her fitness efforts. Blessing, known for her curvaceous figure and unapologetic persona, fired back on Instagram Stories, questioning why anyone would expect her to look “glamorous” after a grueling session.
“How I suppose look for gym after a long day abeg? It’s well. Una go soon intensify una attack cus una never see anything!” Blessing vented in one post, emphasizing that her gym visits are about health and self-improvement, not a “fashion show.” In a bold clapback, she embraced body positivity, declaring, “Nkechi trying to stay healthy and fit in the gym is a topic? Lmao. With my big belle with pride.” She even quipped about her personal life, adding, “Even with my big tummy, I received oral s3x last night,” turning the narrative into one of unshakeable confidence.
Enter Daddy Freeze, the outspoken radio host and online provocateur, who wasted no time weighing in via a video rant that has since garnered thousands of views. Slamming the leaker and the ensuing online ridicule, Freeze questioned the audacity of capturing and sharing such a private moment. “Wetin flat tummy wahala? If you didn’t post it, we wouldn’t have seen it… sorry sir, with all due respect, you are mocking her,” he said, directing his ire at the photographer. He further called out Nigerian gyms for failing to protect clients’ privacy, demanding, “We need to see the CCTV so we can know who took the picture.” Freeze argued that no one—especially women—deserves to be shamed for their natural post-workout look, highlighting the unfair double standards in celebrity culture.
Blessing’s response has resonated with fans, who flooded her comments with messages of support, praising her resilience and authenticity. “This is why we stan NBS—real, raw, and unbothered!” one follower wrote. The incident has reignited broader conversations about body shaming in Nigeria’s entertainment scene, where public figures like Blessing often face intense scrutiny over their looks.
As the story continues to trend, neither the actress nor Freeze has backed down, using the moment to advocate for empathy and privacy in the digital age. For Blessing, it’s just another chapter in her no-holds-barred journey through fame, fitness, and fierce self-love.
