Gospel musician Celestine Donkor has spoken out regarding reports suggesting she is considering undergoing weight loss surgery.

Contrary to the speculation, Celestine Donkor clarified that she had not decided to undergo surgery.

Acknowledging the societal pressure to maintain a certain appearance, especially as an artiste, the singer said she had considered the health implications of body-altering surgeries.

Per her research, Celestine Donkor said such surgeries are usually recommended by doctors based on health assessments, particularly if one’s life is at risk due to weight-related issues.

But, in her case, the 'Agbebolo' hitmaker said she is very fit and has never experienced high blood pressure or other defects associated with being plus size.

In an interview on Hitz FM‘s Daybreak Hitz with Doreen Avio, she stated that surgery is not an option for her now until it is recommended.

“I am plus size but very active. I might even overtake a lot of slim people in a marathon. The fat is in my genes, my family, we are big. I have never had high blood pressure or anything. I do regular check-ups and drink a lot of water, and I have enough rest, so health-wise, I am fine."

Celestine Donkor mentioned that another factor preventing her from surgery is her fear of knives.

She revealed that she has had enough incisions on her body, from her three caesarian sessions during childbirth.

Given this, she would rather consider dieting and other less risky alternatives like exercise and intermittent fasting.

Even when gifted a hefty sum of over GH¢50,000 to go under the knife, Celestine maintained that she would choose to invest in her soul rather than in her body.

“I can confidently say here that personally if I have GH¢40,000 or GH¢50,000 to work on this body, I will invest in my soul. This body will perish, no matter how slim and nicely carved it is.

"The worthless creature after death is the human body; even animal body has value because we use them as food, but for humans, the body is no longer worthy than to be trashed."

Celestine Donkor admonished her fans to accept her as she is, stating that she will not put her life at risk whatsoever to conform to societal expectations of what an ideal woman should look like.
