Aluko on Self-Love, Hair Loss and Appearance Criticism

Let me just remind everybody...

I love my forehead.

I love my big African Aluko forehead.

I like my big lips.

I like my big booty.

I like it.

My hair? People have commented on my hair and my hairline.

I've experienced stress-related hair loss.

There's no doubt about that.

I've had a very stressful two years.

But is that now gonna make me feel insecure and...

I... Beauty's an internal job, my friends.

Beauty's an internal job, so you can't get to me with all this nonsense.

Listen, I've done enough work on myself internally...

that even if I had to go on TV tomorrow bald...

(laughs)

I would walk with pride.

Knowing internally that I'm a child of God,

I'm loved and appreciated,

I'm valued by the people I need to be valued by.

That's where the joy of life is.

So all of these people that are taking the piss out of how I look, we need to ask them...

You need internal surgery.

Because who has the time to be sitting there taking the piss out of how somebody looks?

So I... I laugh at these people.

I pity these people because you...

it has... you have to love yourself in order to love.

If you hate yourself, you project hate.

So all of this that I'm seeing, "Oh my forehead..." I love my forehead.

I love my lips. I love my... my big booty.
