Who was BigButFit? All about Nigerian TikToker who reportedly died during tummy tuck procedure

Nigerian TikToker BigButFit has passed away today, according to reports. Her actual name was Vivian Chinelo, and she was popular on TikTok because of her captivating dancing videos and social media activities. She is said to have died after having a tummy tuck operation.

As per Intelregion, the surgical procedure took place at the Grandville Plastic Hospital in Lagos, Nigeria. The news of BigButFit's demise was first confirmed by a TikTok user and was confirmed by other media outlets thereafter. The user (who goes by @Hannah_h on TikTok) dedicated her message to the deceased influencer in a social media post, in which she was quoted as saying:

"She was the Facebook mummy that danced through her pain, the one people mocked, asking if she was pregnant, not knowing she was living with fibroids and cysts. Her name was Ms. Chinelo, and she passed away during a tummy tuck procedure at Grandville Plastic Surgery Hospital. For years, she explained her condition, but the cyberbullying never stopped. They laughed, trolled, and body-shamed her for being in the gym and not losing weight. And now, the same internet that bullied her is mourning her. She had two young sons. She was full of life. She brought joy. But now she's gone. And the silence is loud. Rest in peace, Ms. Chinelo. You deserved kindness, not cruelty."
