Hilda Baci gracefully responds to critics who called her "ugly" after a no-makeup dance video, sharing an empowering message about self-love and authenticity.
Nigerian chef and Guinness World Record holder Hilda Baci recently found herself at the center of online criticism after sharing a joyful, no-makeup dance video with her brother. The light-hearted moment, which featured the siblings dancing to a song he wrote for her, quickly spiraled into a wave of negativity, with some harshly commenting on her appearance without makeup.
Instead of letting the backlash bring her down, Baci responded with grace and strength. Though she initially removed the video, she followed up with a powerful statement. Posting a radiant makeup-free photo, she flipped the script on the hate by using the word "UGLY" as an acronym, standing for “Unique Gifted Lovable You.”
Her bold move instantly resonated with fans, who flooded her comments with praise and support. They admired her for handling the situation with class, showing the world that true beauty doesn’t need validation. Popular singer Nasboi echoed the sentiment, writing, “My dear Hilda, you’re a very beautiful woman… they’ll say anything to dim your light when you’re winning. A queen I Stan. You fine, you wey I see dey cook for hours without makeup. Tah, you fine die.”
Another fan, @moyosoreoluwae, passionately added, “I am so angry you made them feel like they deserve a response, cos girl?? You are BEAUTIFUL!!!”
Hilda’s uplifting response served as a reminder that no amount of online criticism can dull the shine of someone who knows their worth. In the end, she turned a negative situation into a celebration of self-love and authenticity.
