Only procedures like gastric bypass or medications like Ozempic etc, have been proven to deliver these kinds of results of yours… Diet and exercise alone rarely produce such rapid changes. Please stop the spread of false information!”

He said the new fashion trend is not African but a borrowed culture. He called it a serious pandemic. He pleaded with the ladies to stop it.

"Except you are an extremely big body and you want to lose some weight, and some black men still like that, I can understand, but why are you a medium shape, beautiful looking, melanin popping black woman wanting to lose your weight so much you lose your bum.... At what point are my curvy black women trying to look like super models? Black men don't like supermodel o. That is a white man's taste"

Comparing the now slim ladies to Kendall Jenner, Oyemykke said her body does not appeal to him as an African man. He said:

"When I see Kendall Jenner, I see a young boy. There is nothing about Kendall Jenner that I find attractive. I beg you in the name of God, let things go back to how God made them."
