In her feature with Byrdie, the singer spoke candidly about her experience of getting and removing breast implants.
She shared that she decided to get breast implants when she got trolled after a video of her performance went viral.
People criticized her body, saying she was “horribly built” instead of showing love and support for the artist.
However, after getting the surgery, she began experiencing health problems.
She explained that she suffered from “chronic fatigue, brain fog, severe joint pain, restless leg syndrome, and new allergies.”
Her doctor speculated that she was suffering from an autoimmune condition often referred to as breast implant illness, causing the symptoms.
The singer eventually had her implants removed, and the experience made her realize that her body was not meant to be changed in the way she thought she could change it.
So these days, Kehlani focuses on feeling healthy and does not take her natural body for granted.
Ultimately, she wants to feel beautiful and confident without being weighed down by the criticisms and scrutiny of strangers.
I always felt like I was looking for ‘beauty,’ never that I was sitting in it. I feel the sexiest and beautiful when I’m the most stripped-down and comfortable. To me, sexiness is clean hair, good candles, and applying oil after a shower.
She continued, stating that it was all about taking care of herself. That’s when she felt good.
