The issue about weight is a huge one amongst society and the plus sized people have spoken about it before. However, those on the skinny side do not speak about it much but it also gets to them. Kelly Khumalo is not one person to shy away from speaking about the issues she has.

The musician has spoken about the issues she has of people speaking about her size, deeming it as neighbourly pep talk. “How I hate that lousy neighborly pep talk, Hi Kelly you look skinny but you look good…really? It’s ok to say hi and carry on driving…imagine if I said I see you are still fat…human beings…,” says Kelly Khumalo. Social media users reacted to the issue Kelly Khumalo has of people speaking about a person’s weight. One social media user says, “People need to STOP commenting on other people’s bodies regardless of whether it’s the commenters desired body or not.”

“I hate people who comment on people’s weight/bodies so much…,” says one user. One user says, “I’ve accepted the comments about my weight gain. I just laugh it off and tell them that they look beautiful…Those who tell me [to] lose weight, my response is ‘but my skin looks beautiful when I’m fat’.”
