However, popular social media influencer, Daniel Regha, took issue with Boniface’s comment, cautioning him against prioritizing physical appearance over character and personality.

“Boniface, your words might be in jest, but such a mindset may influence your decision when the time comes,” Regha wrote. “Physical appearance isn’t as important as one’s character and personality. Also, keep in mind that many idolize you and might take your words too seriously, so be mindful of your statements.”

While some users defended Boniface’s comment as a harmless joke, others echoed Regha’s concerns, emphasizing the need for role models like Boniface to promote positive values.
