Ahead of the upcoming live performance that will glimpse the likes of Akon, Wizkid, Sarkodie and more in Ghana, argument sparks! In a recent video fire for an up and approaching Akon and Wizkid video, some Ghanaian forms and young women were called upon to participate by the controllers a couple of days ahead of the shoot. most likely former to Akon and Wizkid's appearance in Ghana.
A model described on the day of the fire some girls were turned away as the agency (or the man to blame for calling them) acquainted them that “they now desire half cast young women”. A term utilised to recount young women with mixed heritage, generally ones with white blood in them.
“THEY”, most expected referring to Wizkid, Akon and/or his melodies video manufacturer, rotating away a fleet of arrivals initially demanded to join by the form scout. In detail, the agency requested if the girls could help him request lightweight scraped girls because ‘THEY’ were so unyielding on this demand even on late notice.
Nigeria, where WizKid is from, and Senegal where Akon is from, are nations both inundated with young women bleaching their skin easily because of such discrimination and being made to seem unattractive if dark. Not just in media and modelling, but general favours in life. Whilst there are good persons in both countries endeavouring to reverse the self esteem impairment of such activities such as Adama Paris who banned scraped bleach models from the Senegalese nationwide fashion week, Akon and Wizkid’s group are endeavouring to farther such acts internationally.
If this is the intentions Akon and the conceited side kick Wizkid desire to introduce to Ghana, then we will be more than glad to uninvite them. regrettably for these
bigots, Ghana has not ever been a land where young women are discriminated for skin pitch in any area. In such affairs, it is conspicuous they will overtake the accuse onto an worker to sustain their reputation. But for any such behavior, both these creative persons should be boycotted until their position is clarified.
It’s a shame that grown men who might be an inspiration to some still hover the Earth will a very small minded approach when it arrives to truth. It might arrive over as simply music video demand, but it’s a custom living in our countries born out of colonial direct, that regrettably is also birth of skin hue discrimination and self esteem impairment.
express gratitude God Sarkodie did not sign to Akon’s label Konvict. All I can say is I am looking ahead to the departure of Akon and Wizkid from Ghana. That would be great news. In detail we would be very pleased if any model extends to report any such undertakings going on in Africa (with remits) so we can title and shame the real perpetrators behind the skin bleaching epidemic
