Reality television star and businesswoman Laura Ikeji recently stirred up a conversation on social media after posting a video flaunting her arm tattoos while dressed in a crop top and baggy jeans.
The short clip quickly ignited mixed reactions, with some users expressing concern over her appearance.
In response to the criticism, Laura welcomed the naysayer to share their thoughts, but none followed. Instead, the internet rallied around her, showering her with affirmation and support, effectively shielding her from body shaming.
Comments from supportive netizens included:
- isabeloscar: “She should hide the stomach she used in birthing 3 children. You people are just bitter sha.”

- n.o.s.s.k.v: “It’s obvious she didn’t go out this way nah. It’s after the drawing that she had to leave like that to avoid the drawing cleaning off.”
- nnennava: “Oh please, if a foreign celebrity dresses this way or gets such tattoos, you lot will be gushing over them! Let people do them!”
