Madam Boss denies rumours of rib removal

Popular social media influencer, actress, and entrepreneur Madam Boss has denied rumours claiming she had some of her ribs surgically removed. Speaking exclusively to H-Metro, she provided a detailed account of the medical procedures she underwent and clarified that her dramatic weight loss was driven by a medical condition rather than cosmetic obsession.

Madam Boss, who has faced accusations of trying to emulate music superstar Beyoncé's physique, firmly dismissed claims about rib removal as "false."

"Let it be known, I do not know how you are going to clarify this, handiraramire vanhu uye handina basa nekuti vanhu kana munhu anotikudzei nezvangu. To put the record straight, none of my ribs were removed as some are saying," she said.

"Do you think it's real for one to live without ribs? I am yet to know if one can live without any of the ribs."

She explained that her weight loss was necessitated by a health condition she had and that the process involved medical interventions rather than mere aesthetics.

"Life has its fair share of challenges. We have no control over some challenges, disabilities can happen and we are left with no choice other than consulting a surgeon," Madam Boss said.

"I did not want to have fun with surgeons but I had to face it. To me, it started as a weight loss journey due to the condition I had. After losing my weight, ndakazowona kuti katumbu kangu kakanga kakungorembera [my tummy was just hanging]. I decided to go for liposuction."

She elaborated on the liposuction procedure, describing it as a surgical method that uses suction to remove fat from specific body areas like the stomach, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms, or neck, also helping to reshape these areas.

Following liposuction, Madam Boss underwent a gastric balloon procedure, which she explained as "a temporary medical device used to assist with weight loss. It's a soft, inflatable balloon placed in the stomach through an endoscope to help reduce the amount of food someone can eat and make them feel full sooner."

She acknowledged that the surgery was costly and expressed sympathy for others facing similar conditions without the financial means to access such treatments.

Madam Boss first rose to prominence through her engaging online content, which garnered widespread attention both locally and internationally. She has since leveraged her influence to launch businesses and has won several awards for her impact in the social media space.

Despite the challenges and public speculation, Madam Boss remains unapologetic about her journey and proud of her transformation.
