Nigerian social media sensation and body positivity advocate, Sissy Icecream (real name Nessa Anietie), is taking the internet by storm with her candid embrace of her voluptuous figure and her refusal to hide from critics.
Known for her unapologetic style and unwavering confidence, Sissy says her natural assets have become her biggest career advantage.
In an exclusive interview, Sissy opened up about how her full-figured physique has defied the odds and turned her into a sought-after influencer. “People ask if my breasts cause back problems,” she laughed. “But my body is perfectly balanced. I’m not skinny—my frame carries them well, and honestly, they’ve opened doors for me.”
Beyond her curves, Sissy credits her self-assured attitude for her success. “Yes, I profit from my looks, but I also work hard,” she said. “Confidence is my real asset.” With her bold fashion choices and lively social media presence, she’s amassed a loyal following that includes fans, brands, and media outlets eager to partner with her.
Sissy says that while some critics dismiss her figure as a gimmick, it has in fact paved the way for lucrative brand deals, modelling gigs, and speaking opportunities. “What some see as too much, my fans and sponsors love,” she declared. “These curves pay my bills!”
The influencer joins a growing global movement of plus-size models and advocates, alongside international stars like Lizzo and Ashley Graham, who are challenging outdated beauty standards. “Society tells plus-size women to hide,” she said. “I say: If you’ve got it, flaunt it—and get paid!”
Sissy’s message resonates with many Nigerian women who see themselves reflected in her story. She’s become a beacon of empowerment, proving that body positivity and financial independence can go hand in hand.
However, Sissy’s honest approach has also ignited debates about modern beauty standards in the digital age. Some critics argue that the focus on looks—regardless of body size—reinforces the same objectification she aims to challenge. Sissy, however, is unfazed.
“I love my body, and I love what it has brought me,” she said. “I’m not going to let anyone shame me for that.”
As Nigeria—and the world—continue to grapple with evolving ideas of beauty, Sissy Icecream’s story serves as a powerful reminder: confidence, authenticity, and self-love are forces no critic can deny.
