BBNaija’s Nengi Responds to Criticism Over Revealing Dress at Elite Event

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Nengi Hampson has addressed the backlash she received over her outfit to a recent elite event. A video of the reality star, now a new mother, surfaced online showing her in a black gown that many fans deemed “tacky” and overly revealing.

The criticisms quickly sparked reactions, prompting Nengi to respond via her Instagram story. She revealed she had recently undergone an emergency Caesarean section and was still in recovery, not yet cleared for gym activities. Nengi shared that she is learning to love her postpartum body and occasionally struggles with confidence.

“I just wanted to feel like myself again,” she wrote. In a witty comeback, she joked about wearing a wrapper and headgear to her next event and added a laughing emoji to mock the intense criticism.

Her response has divided fans—some applauded her vulnerability and self-love journey, while others held firm in their opinion about the outfit.
