The 45-year-old Afrobeats superstar, and mother of one, appeared completely makeup-free, prompting a flood of reactions on X (formerly Twitter). While many fans praised her natural look, others were quick to critique it.

One user remarked on her eyebrows, claiming, “The person who did the microblading did a bad job,” while another speculated, “This must be after a micro-needling session, that’s why her face is reddish. It’s painful, so that’s not her real skin colour.”

Not all comments were critical. Some fans defended the singer, arguing against age-shaming. One wrote, “Wetin be this nonsense? You dey show woman wey don pass 40 like say you just catch alien. She be human being, no be android.” Another added, “Wetin exactly you dey try prove, say person wey don live life small suppose still look like teenager? Abeg, grow up.”

Some social media users even offered unsolicited beauty advice, suggesting she could “get back clear skin” through diet changes and the use of “coconut oil and electrolytes.”
