If 39 Is Old, What Is 79? – Sister Derby Claps Back At Troll

Posted on by Nana Theo Buzi

Ghanaian musician Deborah Vanessa, commonly known as Sister Derby, has taken a stand against age-shaming comments on social media.

The artiste recently posted some pictures of herself on social media to mark her 39th birthday.

Her pictures were met with a number of reactions from fans, with many expressing admiration as to how she managed to look so young despite her age.

However, one social media user humorously remarked, “Why is she called the African mermaid? The system is old but the appearance be young.”

Sister Derby, unfazed by the comment, responded with a dignified clapback,

“If 39 is old, what is 79? If you want to die soon because you don’t want to be my age, that’s fine, and may your wish be granted, but don’t age shame people who are growing and glowing. Ndomie boy,”

Deborah Vanessa’s reply, however, generated mixed reactions from users, some chastised her for the harsh response, while others used her backlash to bolster conversations about the importance of respecting individuals of all ages.
