Reality TV star Ka3na has urged Nigerian public figures, particularly women, to be more open and honest about their motherhood experiences.
Speaking in a heartfelt Instagram post, Ka3na expressed her disappointment with the trend of celebrities faking pregnancies and hiding their use of surrogacy.
She argued that public figures, with their influence and platforms, have a responsibility to share authentic stories that can inspire and support others.
The reality star emphasised that surrogacy is a valid and powerful choice, and there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
She shared her own traumatic pregnancy experience, which left her with a deep fear of going through it again, adding that If she decides to have another child in the future, she hopes to consider surrogacy.

She encouraged fellow public figures to stop curating fake images and instead use their platforms to share truthful stories that can help and inspire others.
Ka3na noted that many mothers can see through the deception, noting that while it is okay not to be pregnant, the lie is unnecessary.
She argued that by sharing their actual experiences, public figures can positively impact women struggling with fertility issues, pregnancy trauma, or health complications.
According to her, “Dear Nigerian Public Figures (especially women), we are privileged to be more informed, more exposed, and better travelled. With that comes the responsibility to be honest with our followers.
“There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a baby through a surrogate. The child is 100% yours. So why deceive your fans by pretending to be pregnant?
“Take me for example: I had a traumatic pregnancy that left me with a deep fear of going through it again. If I ever choose to have another child, I hope to go through surrogacy. And there’s nothing shameful about that. We have platforms. We have influence. Let’s use them to share truth that helps, not just images that perform. And for the record, many of us mothers can see through the act. You’re not pregnant, and that’s okay. But the lie? It’s unnecessary.”
