Zayra Baby Speaks Out After Backlash Over New Haircut

Ugandan social media personality Zayra Baby, born Desire Nandijja, continues to command attention online.

With a strong following across various platforms, Zayra has built her brand on authenticity and bold self expression.

Recently, she surprised fans by cutting off her hair, describing it as a personal challenge and the beginning of a new chapter.

The move sparked mixed reactions online, with some critics sharing harsh opinions about her new look.

However, speaking on Sanyuka Uncut, Zayra made it clear that, thanks to her mother’s advice, she is never bothered by the noise.

I have seen the insults online, but I do not have time to respond to them. My mother taught me one thing: never reply to any insult directed at you. Those who try to insult you will eventually stop one day.

Beyond her appearance, Zayra also addressed perceptions about her lifestyle, insisting that what fans see is real.

I do not fake my lifestyle. I live a normal life because faking life is very expensive to maintain.

The conversation also turned to her relationship with fellow TikTok content creator Henry Egesa.

Zayra clarified that while they were once romantically involved, they are now simply friends.

Henry Egesa is my friend. Yes, we broke up, but we did not create any war between us. It is true we were seen together at the airport, but there is nothing more. We are just friends.

She concluded by offering advice to young people navigating life and social media pressures.

My advice to the youth is to stay focused on their goals. Life is sweet when everything is done at the right time.
