20 ribs. That is the number Arike Snow, a Nigerian influencer known on social media for her extremely reduced waist, says she had removed from her body — and then sold each one for $600, totaling about $12,000. 😶
In a video that shook social media, Snow explained the process with a coldness that sent more chills than any other detail: she claims that today she has barely four ribs left in her body, and that two of those four are currently “bent” or curved. The figure is medically impossible — the human body has 24 ribs and no serious surgeon would perform such a procedure — but that did not stop the debate. 🧐
What disturbed the public most was not the number itself, but the casualness with which she told it: without drama, as if selling parts of one’s own skeleton were a normal financial decision. Her silhouette, visibly altered by surgeries, was already a topic of conversation before the video. Now, the question no one can get out of their head is: how far can someone go for a figure?
