Akon & Wizkid have come under fire for reportedly rejecting models for their video shoot because of their skin color.
According to FashionGhana.com, a model claimed she had been booked
earlier for the video shoot, but was told that on getting there on the
day of the shoot, that “they” only wanted half-caste girls.
According to the modelling agent, they were adamant and would not budge with their request for light-skinned models.
They have come under fire from fans for the decision, with many not expecting such racist behavior from African artistes.
Nigeria was, months back, ranked by Al Jazeera as the country most
affected by bleaching, and this is the type of event that makes it
worse.
