Berla Mundi Fires Back at Man Who Called Her ‘Obolo Tui’ After Seeing Her New Photo

• Berla Mundi has blasted a man who mocked her weight online, months after delivering her first child
• The media personality shared a photo of her workout routine, which attracted the man's criticism
• The TV3 presenter swiftly responded to the man, with her strong reply triggering mixed reactions

Ghanaian media personality, Berla Mundi, whose real name is Berlynda Addadey, has fired back at a male fan who tried to make fun of her.

The man named @kwekunoom on X (formerly Twitter) criticised Berla about her weight gain, months after reportedly delivering her first child.

The TV3 presenter was first reported to be pregnant in January 2025, exactly one year after she got married to her husband, David Tabi.

She had been spotted with a baby bump while MCing a public event.

Even though Berla Mundi did not confirm or deny the rumours, her absence from TV3's morning show as one of its main hosts fuelled the rumours.

Berla Mundi blasts fan over weight comment

Months after her reported delivery, she has been doing a lot of workouts to shed the so-called baby weight.

Following her post about her walk, which only showed her left hand, @kwekunoom replied that Berla Mundi had now become fat.

"Now, you turn obolo tui," he said,

Berla Mundi swiftly responded to him by likening herself to his mother.

"Yes, like your morda!"

For those who may not know, 'obolo tui' is a street slang in Ghana which refers to chubby people.

It usually has a negative connotation, and may be deemed insulting if the person using it and the one he/she is referring to are not on friendly terms.

Immediately after Berla Mundi's reply landed, the man deleted his comment.

However, screenshots of their exchanges have found their way onto other platforms.

Berla Mundi can't be faulted for her reaction

Reacting to Berla Mundi's tweet, head of entertainment news at TV3, Owusu Worae, backed Berla Mundi for standing up to defend herself.

Even though some saw her response as harsh, Worae, who is a colleague of Berla at TV3, pointed out that celebrities are also humans who have feelings and emotions too.

"There's a bad trend where people believe that celebrities owe them politeness even when they're being disrespected. The term 'obolo tui' might seem harmless to some, but context matters. Coming from a stranger on social media while she's sharing her fitness journey, it's clearly meant as mockery, not endearment. Some people suggested her response was 'too harsh,' but why should she absorb insults with a smile? The entertainment industry doesn't require celebrities to be punching bags for public rudeness. Her response, no matter how harsh it may seem, set a clear boundary, and the fact that the man deleted his comment proves that boundaries work. We need to normalise celebrities defending their dignity without being labelled as 'emotional' or 'sensitive," he said.
