Tuno Hits Back at Body-Shamers: “Fix the Real Problems, Not My Weight”

Malawian singer Tuno, loved for her fearless personality, has finally spoken out against ongoing criticism about her body size.

On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, the artist took to her Facebook page to respond directly to those mocking her weight, urging them to focus on the country’s real challenges instead of her body.

“Do you really think your votes will increase because you are fighting my fats? Do you think the devaluation of the kwacha will be solved by attacking my fat belly? The price of maize and fertilizer is stressing you, but you still choose to waste your energy on me?” Tuno wrote.

Her remarks come after a performance at the Groove FM show in Lilongwe last weekend, where her outfit sparked discussions and drew negative comments about her new appearance.

The singer, however, made it clear that she will not let online insults bring her down.

“There is no forex in the country, but instead of fixing that, you decide to fight Tuno’s peace. Fix the problems  waste your energy on that. Insulting me will not suddenly create jobs.”

Tuno also pointed out that many women secretly envy her confidence and blessings, stressing that no amount of criticism will stop her success.

“Many women are jealous of me. Do you think when you insult me, God will stop blessing me? I don’t overeat in private, and I never said I would stop gaining weight. I promise you, I will keep on getting bigger.”

Her post has sparked mixed reactions on social media. Some fans praised her for her boldness and honesty, while others continued to criticize her.

Despite the backlash, Tuno has reaffirmed that she is comfortable with her body and she will not change to please anyone.
