Sierra Leone’s renowned R&B and Hip-Hop artist Natasha Beckley is making waves again, not just with her music but with her candid revelations about her weight journey.
The multi-talented entertainer, who has previously wowed fans as a beauty queen and model, took to her Facebook page to open up about her struggles with weight gain and her resolve to transform her health by 2025.

“I weigh more than men. If I was shorter and this weight, it would be a problem, Alhamdulillah, I make it look good because I am tall, so the weight seems to go in all the right places,” she quipped, adding her signature mix of humor and grace.
Despite her confidence, Beckley admitted to moments of insecurity and the desire to be smaller. But she emphasized self-love and gratitude for her body, stating,
“I am a beautiful woman. I will not allow anyone to make me feel less than I am. I am thankful to be thick, but trust I am also working on drastically losing weight.”
