Veteran gospel musician Mama Esther has responded to public criticism following a viral video that captured her “daughter” in what many described as an inappropriate outfit during the one-week observation of her late mother.
The young woman drew attention for wearing a black off-shoulder blouse that exposed part of her cleavage.
Her appearance has been deemed unbefitting, given Mama Esther’s standing as a respected gospel minister.
Addressing the issue in an interview, Mama Esther urged the public to exercise restraint, clarifying that the lady in question is not her biological daughter but the child of a close friend who has long been part of her family.
According to her, the young woman is a virtuous, married mother who meant no offense.
“It was a result of pressure. That wasn’t how the dress initially fit but she is a breastfeeding mother so I want to assume when she went to feed her baby, she suffered a malfunction. She is a virtuous woman and she was even around with her husband,” Mama Esther explained.
According to the renowned gospel musician, her said daughter was deeply troubled by the backlash, fearing it would tarnish her reputation.
However, to Mama Esther, the incident does not define her character or her faith, so she is unbothered about the unsolicited opinions.
