Tumiso Mathenge, first born daughter of celebrity couple Wahu and Nameless jumped in quick to defend her mother from online trolls who body shamed her.
The body-shaming comes after Wahu shared a photo of her giving views during a meeting held by the recently appointed Talanta Hela Creative Technical Committee, which she captioned,
The photo went viral with the focus not being on the committee or their plans but mostly on her weight gain and size, leaving a sour taste in Tumiso’s mouth.

Through her Instagram stories, she questioned why some people, especially ladies are trolling her mother, just months after she gave birth to her third born daughter. She urged people to give her mother a break and to understand that having a baby transformed her looks.
““I find it really sad that it is women who are talking about her body. Honestly (I) expected better from us and she literally just had a baby. You guys need to grow up for real,” read part of her Instagram stories.
Wahu a few months ago, confessed to adding weight after the birth of Shiru, her third born. She however said its nothing to worry about and her fans jumped in to encourage her that baby weight is normal. After delivery, she also opened up on how she had been cautioned about the risks of having a third child, but she beat all odds because she really wanted three children.
The Talanta Hela Creative Technical Committee, chaired by Daniel Ndambuki aka Churchill seeks to propose reliable systems for the seamless and accountable collection and distribution of royalties to all creatives. It will also propose implementation frameworks for the creative’s economy plan.
Other members of the committee include Jimmy Gathu, Kate Atress, Azziad Nasenya and Akothee .
