Ghanaian actress and entrepreneur Salma Mumin has spoken out after facing ongoing criticism and commentary on social media about her body. The actress addressed the persistent remarks about her appearance and urged critics to stop making comments that she says are harmful and unnecessary.
In a candid message shared on her social media page on January 23, 2026, Salma Mumin said the constant focus on her body has gone beyond simple opinion and has become damaging. She explained that words carry weight and that repeated commentary about her physical appearance can affect a person’s wellbeing.
Salma made it clear that her decision to change her appearance was a personal choice made for herself, not to satisfy public expectations or to win approval from others. She emphasised that she made the choice because she was unhappy with her previous look and wanted a change that made her feel confident.
The actress also rejected labels and harmful stereotypes, saying she does not deserve to be judged or mocked for her private decisions. She said harsh judgments and cruel commentary are unacceptable and urged people to be more empathetic and thoughtful about how they speak to and about others.
Salma’s message reflects her desire to live peacefully without enduring constant scrutiny of her body or character. She asked followers and critics alike to respect her choices and to understand that no one deserves to be spoken about in ways that undermine their peace or dignity.
The response from fans and supporters shows a range of reactions, but many have echoed her call for kindness and respect online.
