Moliy claps back at body-shaming critics after UK performance

Ghanaian songstress Moliy has fired back at critics who mocked her appearance following her performance at the Party in the Park event in the UK.

Over the weekend, a video of Moliy’s energetic performance went viral. However, instead of celebrating her stage presence and the significance of her participation at the international event, some social media users focused on her physical appearance.

Several commenters took aim at her midsection, pointing out what they described as a “pot belly,” with some suggesting she hit the gym. Others ridiculed her choice of outfit, ignoring her vocal delivery and performance energy.

In a sharp and confident clapback shared online, Moliy wrote:
“Hope all of you spending your day talking about my body again got rent and due bills ready. We’re in the middle of the month. Just a reminder. Much luv.”

Her response has since gained widespread support, with fans and fellow industry players applauding her confidence and composure.

The incident has reignited ongoing discussions about body shaming in Ghana’s entertainment space, especially the pressure placed on female artistes.

Moliy now joins a growing list of women in the industry calling out harsh commentary and unrealistic beauty standards. Earlier this month, fellow artiste Wendy Shay also took to social media to denounce body shaming, describing it as an unhealthy obsession that often overshadows women’s artistry and impact.
