“I am plus size but very active. I might even overtake a lot of slim people in a marathon. The fat is in my genes, and in my family, we are big. I have never had high blood pressure or anything. I do regular check-ups and drink a lot of water, and I have enough rest, so health-wise, I am fine,” she shared.

Expressing her reservations about surgery, the ‘Only You’ hitmaker cited her fear of knives and previous experiences with childbirth-related incisions. She preferred exploring alternative methods like dieting, exercise, and intermittent fasting, considering them less risky.

Even when presented with financial incentives for surgery, Donkor prioritized investing in her spiritual growth over physical alterations. She underscored the transient nature of the human body and its eventual demise, emphasizing the enduring significance of the soul.

“I can confidently say here that personally if I have GH¢40,000 or GH¢50,000 to work on this body, I will invest in my soul. This body will perish, no matter how slim and nicely carved it is.
