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.

Celebrities usually respond to negativity. Say something nice and they'll ignore you. These boys are capitalizing on that. They'll say anything negative to get your response ????
