“I feel like those ones that are hiding the truth, they probably don’t have the confidence; they feel like they did it for someone.
“But I did it for myself. I did it to sell my business. So, I don’t think there is anything to be ashamed of in enhancing your body.
The media personality further argued people who undergo plastic surgery as well as those who bleach their skin and others who wear false eyelashes are all in the same boat; because they do so to enhance their looks.
“People are bleaching…bleaching, make we no talk about am. It’s all the same thing. That is another form of enhancement because it’s not the way God created you.

Speaking on why she went for the procedure,she said, ”I have always wanted to do surgery because I felt like I had a really big stomach.
”I did liposuction, I only removed fat from my stomach. I feel if you are not confident about something and you can change it then do it. I always had to wear a waist trainer and it was really stressful for me.
When asked if she moved the fat from her stomach to her buttocks, she denied saying ”I think that is the mistake I made because I wanted it as natural as possible. I did not want it too big so I said they should not put the fat in the buttocks.”
Reacting to the backlash that followed the liposuction revelation, Nengi said it was really small-minded to talk about something someone did with their money.
”First of all, to do a surgery you have to be bold, It is not about money alone so if someone decides to do it I feel like it’s nobody’s business also it is not anyone’s money and people should respect others decision because it is their life and they can do whatever.”
