Nigerian female disc jockey, Princess Ntuk, popularly known as DJ Pretty Play, has made an emotional plea, lamenting that her voluptuous figure—particularly her curvaceous backside—has overshadowed her career and talent.
In a recent tearful video shared on Instagram, the stunning DJ broke down as she expressed her frustration over how social media consistently fixates on her physical attributes rather than her craft.
“Please, I’m a professional DJ, and I’m very good at what I do. But all you people seem to care about is my ass! Guys, I’m tired! Every time I wake up, what trends about me is my ass, not my talent or my DJ career,” she cried out.
DJ Pretty Play further revealed that even at a wedding where she had recently performed, the conversation on social media was not about her skills or the energy she brought to the event, but rather about her body.
“Even when I am just being myself, fully clothed, not shaking my ass, people still make it a topic. Why? Am I not a good DJ? Shouldn’t the focus be on my craft?” she questioned, visibly distressed.
The entertainer, who is also a married woman, pleaded with fans and social media users to respect her and shift the attention to her artistry instead of objectifying her.
“I am married. I am somebody’s wife. It is not nice to be talking about another man’s wife like this. Why are you people sharing and trending my body instead of my work?” she sobbed, falling to her knees in a desperate plea.
Her heartfelt outburst has since sparked debates on social media, with some fans sympathizing with her plight while others argue that the entertainment industry, especially in Nigeria, often thrives on sensationalism rather than skill.
As DJ Pretty Play fights to reclaim the narrative and gain recognition for her talent rather than her looks, the question remains—will society ever prioritize women’s professional achievements over their physical appeal?
