Kenyan singer and media personality Tanasha Donna has announced her decision to remove her lip fillers after facing a wave of criticism from fans.
The 28-year-old star, known for her music and high-profile relationship with Tanzanian artist Diamond Platnumz, revealed her plans in a candid social media post, bowing to pressure from followers who insisted she looked better with her natural lips.
The backlash began earlier this month when Donna shared a series of photos showcasing her enhanced pout, prompting mixed reactions online.
While some praised her bold look, a vocal group of fans expressed disappointment, flooding her comments with remarks like “Your natural beauty was perfect” and “Why mess with what God gave you?” The criticism evidently struck a chord, leading Donna to address the issue directly.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, she wrote, “Okay! I will dissolve my lip fillers. You all won! Shaking my head.” The statement, accompanied by a playful yet exasperated tone, suggests the singer is reluctantly conceding to her fans’ preferences.
Sources close to Donna say she had initially embraced the fillers as a confidence boost, but the persistent feedback prompted her to reconsider.
This isn’t the first time Donna has faced scrutiny over her appearance. As a prominent figure in East Africa’s entertainment scene, she’s no stranger to public opinion, often navigating the fine line between personal choice and fan expectations.
Her decision to dissolve the fillers has already sparked a new round of reactions, with some applauding her responsiveness and others debating the influence of social media on celebrity decisions.
The procedure to remove the fillers, typically involving the injection of an enzyme to break down the hyaluronic acid, is expected to take place in the coming days.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the results, with many expressing hope that Donna’s return to her natural look will silence the critics.
