The 36-year-old Martina Big, and her husband Michael Eurwen, have been the targets of harsh criticism over the years from those who believe they will "never be black" since they both inject Melanotan, a synthetic hormone, to darken their skin.

However, the glamour model, who underwent surgery to enlarge her 32T breasts, has since stated that she has "received invitations from fans in many African countries."

According to Daily Mail, the model revealed that she and her husband had been planning to move abroad for years but faced delays due to the pandemic. Now, they are actively preparing for their relocation to Africa. She shared that choosing a destination hasn’t been easy, as they’ve received invitations from fans across the continent.

"At the moment, Namibia and Kenya are on our shortlist. Michael worries that it will be hard for me to make money in Africa because the majority of my modelling assignments are in the US and Europe. It has taken a lot of effort on my part to persuade him that this is the best course of action for us."

She highlighted her strong bond with the people of Africa. Despite facing online criticism, she remains unfazed by negative remarks about her identity.

"I want to emigrate to Africa because I feel a deep connection to the African people. The harsh criticism usually comes from the US via social media. People say things like: 'You're white, you'll never be black' or say my skin is 'blackface'. But I don't take these comments to heart."

Martina believes negative attitudes towards them hold back when met in person, but feels at home and overwhelmed by the response they receive when visiting Africa.

The show's presenter seemed taken aback and asked if doctors had actually told her that her baby would be black. Big confidently confirmed, adding that they had also discussed whether breastfeeding would be safe for her.

Later, she doubled down on Facebook, insisting that doctors now considered her physically a black woman and that her future children would indeed be black, reported Daily Mail.

"I can clearly feel that I am black, but it is hard to find the right words to describe it."

However, people questioned her logic, as cosmetic changes do not affect genetics.
