In the old snap, the 23-year-old singer was rocking a body-fitting pink romper with her bulging belly on display. In another photo, she was rocking the same romper while carrying her baby in her arms.
A Nigerian Twitter user, @Mo_Sznn, spotted the snaps and reacted to it by bashing women of his own nationality.
According to him, Nigerian women always use pregnancy as an excuse to look ugly and unkempt. Not stopping there, he shaded them for usually having big noses and eating too much. In his words:
“Nigerian women would take pregnancy as an excuse to look unkept and ugly. Just overfeeding the whole 9 months with big nose.”

Good women should be treated like queens - Nigerian man
After the tweet bashing pregnant Nigerian women went viral, an X user, @Ai'ry's response to the poster went viral. He also spoke further with Legit.ng to share more of his perspective. He said:
"I want to believe he understands how pregnancy works, but if he actually doesn't understand that the changes that occur on the body of a pregnant woman aren't entirely her fault, then he's either immature or hasn't been raised well."
"I have seen the stress women go through. I have seen many women, mothers, and daughters struggle to stay sane because they try to take care of their families. A woman's life is difficult and complicated. So I don't think it's fair that men refuse to accord them, honour and respect. Women are weaker vessels like the bible describes them, and the good ones among them should be treated as queens."
"You'd never fully appreciate the troubles women go through if you weren't raised by one or you choose to be ignorant. Parents need to instil in their children from a young age an appreciation for people, men, and women. The schools, the society, its everyone's responsibility that kids are taught how to respect people. That way, they grow up to be kind and respectful."
Men should be held accountable
Ai'ry also made it clear that men should not be allowed to get away with attacking women:
"There also have to be consequences for terrible decisions. Men should not beat or attack women and get away with it. Sadly, we live in a very damaged society. Men should be held accountable for their errors. They should be made to understand that if they abuse members of the opposite gender, there would be dire consequences", he said.
