Malaika Kubwa (born 1977), known professionally as Martina Big, is a German television personality known for her extremely large breast implants and for undergoing a perma-tanning procedure to give herself a dark skin color, eyebrow color and eye color.[1][2][3] Big currently (2023, March) identifies as Black.[4][3][5][6]
Career and personal life
Big was born in Rhineland-Palatinate, West Germany.[1] After receiving a high school diploma, she began a career as a flight attendant alongside her longtime partner Michael, who was a pilot. She quit working as a flight attendant in 2012 to pursue modeling and acting full-time.[1] In 2017, Big confirmed in the Swedish television show Outsiders that she has the biggest breasts in Europe, employing a water displacement test.[7]
Body modifications
On 3 December 2012, Big underwent a breast augmentation with large expandable implants. Since then, she had 23 procedures to add volume to her breasts, reaching a bra size of 32 S.[8]
In January 2017, Big began undergoing perma-tanning procedures to give her the appearance of a black woman.[4][1][2][3] In February 2018, she traveled to Kenya and lived there with the tribes of the Maasai and Samburu. She was "baptised as a real African woman" by a local clergyman and was given the baptismal name Malaika Kubwa; in Swahili, "malaika" means "angel" and "kubwa" means "big".[9][10]
In May 2019, she had her previous breast implants replaced by new, bigger, expandable models, which are the biggest breast implants in the world, each with a rated volume of 20,000 cubic centimetres (1,200 cu in).[11][12]
