Skylanta, the boyfriend of comedian Anne Kansiime, has fired back at critics who have been mocking him on social media due to his weight and appearance.
He advised those attacking him to focus on improving their own lives instead of tormenting him.
'I have seen many people troll me on Facebook saying I look like Scooby Doo, saying I'm too small, and many other random insults,' Skylanta said.
He added that most of the people who preach negativity are struggling with their own issues, such as poverty and low self-esteem.
Skylanta, a Christian, said he chooses to forgive his critics, but also believes that his new relationship with Kansiime has helped him to find peace.
He and Kansiime started dating in December last year, 11 months after her marriage to Gerald Ojok ended.
The couple was married for four years before their split, but the cause of their separation remains unclear.
