Eke has undergone Brazilian Butt Lift, BBL, liposuction and lip augmentation surgeries.

Speaking in a recent episode of the ‘Love Is A Game’ podcast, the reality star said: “To be honest, at first, I followed trend by undergoing body enhancement surgery. I did my body enhancement surgery in 2018.

“It was just the trend and peer pressure that made me do it. Because I actually had a very good body shape. I was slim with curves in the right places as an African woman. But maybe, my stomach was a little bit too much then.

“I was scared when I wanted to undergo the surgery. I didn’t tell my mum. I went with two of my friends. It was painful. You won’t sleep with your butt for fourteen days. You have to be lying on your stomach. That’s the painful part. After the surgery, you will cry for three days. But it is worth it.”

Eke clarified that she didn’t undergo surgery to enhance her face, contrary to speculations. She said she’s naturally beautiful.
