Actor and singer Bobby Maris, popularly known as the husband of Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo, has ignited widespread discussions online after openly encouraging women to consider cosmetic surgeries, such as Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), tummy tucks, and liposuction, if they have the means to do so and it boosts their confidence.
The comments were made in a video shared on Bobby Maris’s official Instagram page, where he emphasized that there is no shame in body enhancements and that women should feel empowered to improve their physical appearance if it makes them feel better about themselves.
In the video, Bobby Maris stated: “If you know you can afford a BBL, tummy tuck, liposuction, go and do it, especially after having kids. Because if you don’t, your husband might eventually leave you for a baddie. If you have money, fix your body oo. No fear. You only live once.” His statement reflects a combination of humor, realism, and encouragement for women to embrace personal choice and financial independence in matters of body image.
The timing of his comments coincided with his wife, Uche Ogbodo, sharing an Instagram video requesting prayers from fans and family as she underwent another Lipo 360 cosmetic procedure, demonstrating her personal commitment to self-enhancement and wellness.
Bobby Maris’s message has sparked a mix of reactions online. Many social media users praised him for supporting his wife’s choices, highlighting that his stance promotes autonomy and self-confidence. They lauded him for encouraging women to embrace cosmetic procedures without guilt, especially when they have the financial capability to do so.
However, some critics argued that his comments could inadvertently put pressure on women to undergo surgical procedures to meet societal or spousal expectations, raising concerns about body image and mental health. These debates reflect the broader conversation around cosmetic enhancements, personal agency, and societal norms in modern society.
Despite the controversy, Bobby Maris remains unapologetic, demonstrating a clear commitment to advocating for personal choice in body aesthetics. His bold support for his wife, alongside his encouragement for women to take control of their bodies if they can afford it, underscores a message of empowerment, confidence, and self-expression in contemporary culture.
Videos and clips of Bobby Maris’s remarks have circulated widely across social media platforms, generating discussions, debates, and memes that have amplified his message and sparked conversations about beauty standards and autonomy in Nigeria and beyond.
