Singer Mayorkun has jumped into the celebrity cosmetic debate with a scorching take, not only weighing in on OAP Toolz’s recent comments about dental veneers but also publicly mocking the procedure. The artist stated he had been meaning to say his piece on the trend that seems to have swept across the entertainment industry.
The singer’s statement is particularly pointed because the use of veneers, the popular dental procedure for achieving a perfect, bright smile has become ubiquitous among Nigerian celebrities and public figures. It seems almost everyone in the spotlight is now sporting the ultra white, flawless look, which is precisely what Mayorkun targeted.
‘Head Lamp Jor’: Mayorkun’s Mockery
Mayorkun took to his platform to share his critical opinion, using vivid Yoruba phrases to describe the artificial brightness of the new smiles. He referred to them derisively as “Elenu torchlight,” which translates roughly to “teeth of torchlight,” and further dismissed the look as “head lamp jor.”
The comparison to extreme light sources like torchlights and car headlamps is a clear dig at the often criticized “unnatural” look of some veneers, which are frequently described as too big or too white.
By injecting this element of direct ridicule, Mayorkun has significantly raised the temperature of the conversation initially sparked by Toolz. His comments not only challenge the aesthetic choice but also add a celebrity-on-celebrity layer to the ongoing public discussion about cosmetic enhancement and the pressure for perfection in the Nigerian entertainment scene.
