Empress Gifty Defends Florence Obinim Over Alleged BBL

Gospel musician Empress Gifty has stood up for fellow artist Florence Obinim after she faced criticism on social media regarding her appearance and reports of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). In a video posted on November 1, 2026, Empress Gifty questioned why some individuals, especially women, were ridiculing Florence for allegedly undergoing the cosmetic procedure.

She emphasized the importance of respecting personal decisions about one's body rather than using social media to mock them. Empress Gifty specifically pointed out that it was disappointing to see such comments coming from other women. She asked, "Do you even have the courage to enter the theatre?"

Empress Gifty revealed that she too had undergone a medical procedure – a breast reduction – after losing weight. She wanted to keep her skin firm following the weight loss, as she feared her breasts would sag after the surgery. Empress Gifty conducted thorough research to ensure that her skin would remain tight post-surgery, aiming for a more beautiful appearance. She mentioned that she could afford the procedure and decided to undergo it because of her personal preferences.

The gospel singer urged the public to allow individuals to make their own choices about their bodies and how they spend their money. She also cautioned social media users against targeting celebrities as outlets for their personal frustrations.
