Top female Kenyan singer Avril has hit out at her haters for calling her ugly.
Avril took to Instagram to post a message directed to those who had ridiculed her in December 2014 after she shared her photos without any make-up.
“They laughed at me about 4 months ago. Ridiculed me to a point I didn’t even understand what for. Made memes and called me ugly. But guess what, my acne scars are slowly fading away!” reads her post in part.
A section of her followers ridiculed her face condition after she posted the photos which were evidently taken in her natural state.
The Hello Baby hit maker now smiles before the mirror each morning since, as she says “acne scars are slowly fading away”.
In her post she reveals her excitement: “My forehead doesn’t have even one pimple yet that was the heaviest affected bit on my face. No condition is permanent. Always remember that.”
Avril’s followers echoed her courage with some admiring her strong will:
Winfredmutanu: You are an inspiration. Beautiful as always.
Alicekabue: So courageous sweet girl. You are beautiful in and out. Keep moving, no matter what.
Pinchez40: A woman who appreciates herself can conquer everything.
Rosentongondu: You are beautiful Avril. I love you because you are so real. You are gorgeous inside and out.
Steve_njogu: Do I have to tell you how pretty you are?
