"As a lady, I think this caption is not needed 🤝."

"We all knew it wasn’t a form but a shaper. I remember when people used to drag Serwah over this same issue. Her own wasn’t a form but a shaper. I think we should always go for the best shapers that wouldn’t be making us feel uncomfortable 😣, but then again I think Abena should have ignored rather than throwing shade 🥰."

"You have addressed it enough with this caption 😂😂😂. Ghanaians are sometimes silly, ehh 🤣🤣🤣🤣. They will make u talk by force sef."
