Nkosazana Daughter draws the line over constant talk about her weight

Amapiano star Nkosazana Daughter has spoken out against the continued public scrutiny surrounding her weight, urging fans and critics to shift the conversation away from her body.

The local musician has, over the past year, been subjected to widespread commentary about her appearance, particularly following noticeable changes in her weight after giving birth. While some fans praised her new look, others criticized her, with online discussions frequently focusing on whether she appeared “too big” or “too skinny.”

Despite the ongoing attention, Nkosazana Daughter has remained confident on stage, consistently delivering stellar performances. Clips of her performances shared on TikTok previously sparked renewed debate about her weight loss, dividing opinions among her fan base.

In a recent response, the artist expressed exhaustion over the constant commentary, making it clear that she has reached her limit.“Oh, she’s fat now. Oh, she’s slender now. But I am sexy though and I am a mommy. I am tired. I have heard enough. It’s 2026, talk about something else, even if it’s making fun of my dreadlocks,” she said.

Her comments have reignited conversations about body shaming and the pressures faced by women in the public eye, highlighting the impact of ongoing scrutiny on artists beyond their work. 

Regarding her weight loss social media users shared mixed reactions on X, with some defending the artist and calling out the shifting nature of public opinion.

One user, @maetsebane, wrote: “She definitely looks her age now, well done Sis. Only if you’ll know how much the body becomes easier and flexible after losing weight you would definitely stop making bad remarks about Nkosazana’s weight loss. It’s a win to be able to have a nice figure and be able to wear everything.”

Another user, @JaySox47, highlighted the contradiction in online criticism, posting: “Social media will drive you crazy if you take it seriously. You guys said Nkosazana Daughter is gaining too much weight. Now that she’s slimming down, you guys again are saying she lost too much weight. You see why you are never supposed to base your life around people’s opinions?”

Beyond the ongoing debate, Nkosazana Daughter continues to cement her place as one of amapiano’s most influential voices. She has delivered multiple chart-performing songs, collaborated with some of the genre’s biggest producers and vocalists, and remains a regular feature on major stages and festivals.

Known for her distinctive vocals, the singer has built a loyal fan base and earned industry recognition for her contribution to the growth of amapiano. As her career continues to evolve, her latest comments underline her desire for the focus to return to her music, her artistry and her achievements rather than her appearance.
