Nollywood actor and lawyer, Kanayo O. Kanayo has condemned the popular Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery common among young people today.

He made the remarks shortly after Nigerian controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky and ex-BB Naija housemate Nina Ivy, revealed that they had undergone another BBL surgery successfully.

Bobrisky’s revelation came three days after Big Brother Naija’s ex-housemate Nina Ivy shared news about her second BBL surgery on July 2023.

The famous American women’s fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar, says BBL starts with liposuction, where a surgeon sucks the fat out of areas in the body, processes and re-injects it into the buttocks and hips.

The platform notes that it has become one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures—but it’s also the deadliest. Even so, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the BBL continues to increase in popularity.

However, Kanayo O. Kanayo wondered why women would subject themselves to such pain in the name of beauty.

Via a video posted on his official Instagram page, the 61-year-old actor cum lawyer said, “Anybody in the name of boyfriend who would cause my daughter to do bum bum enlargement holy Ghost thunder. May Amadioha from Igbo land combine with Ogun from Ijebu Ode to kill the person."

“If Bum Bum enlargement was profitable, why are husbands not giving their wives money to do it? Bum Bum enlargement is not profitable. Not up to the three per cent of women who do it for their boyfriends end in marriage. Sadly, this Bum thing, many ladies do not end as wives.’’

While expressing his anger, the actor narrated a story of a man who convinced his girlfriend to do a BBL surgery.

Kanayo noted that things took another turn when she contracted an infection from the procedure and lost her life.

He said, “I am angry physically and spiritually...She had an infection, and her boyfriend, who caused her to do the surgery, came into the ward. The next thing he did was to react that the place was smelling. He said it smelled and stinks and he ran out. A few days later, the girl died from an infection."

The father of four advised Nigerians, saying, “My brothers and sisters, a word is enough for the wise. It is not worth it,’’ he said.
