Singer and university lecturer Najwa Latif, 31, expressed her gratitude for the public's support after she faced online body-shaming recently. Upon reflecting on her career, the mother of one revealed that she has been a victim of online hate since her teenage years, and she was taken aback by the outpouring of kindness from fans on her social media accounts.
She acknowledged the wave of support in a heartfelt Instagram post, stating that having a daughter has been the best thing that has ever happened to her. She emphasized that everyone has the right to express their opinion, even if she may not agree with it, and she appreciated the respect shown towards her despite the harsh comments.
The singer, who gained fame at the age of 16 with her debut single "Cinta Muka Buku" in 2011, also expressed hope that the kindness she received would extend to those who had been kind to her. She shared that she rarely discusses her feelings on social media but was deeply touched by the love and support she received. Her post garnered numerous encouraging comments from fans who praised her for handling the situation with grace.
Najwa began her musical journey at the age of 14 in 2009, writing lyrics and rising to fame across Malaysia at 16. She married fellow singer Akwa Arifin on November 11, 2022, and welcomed their daughter Medina on the same date last year.
