Akon & Wizkid under fire in Ghana for requesting light-skinned girls for music video

Lols, they are not the first and won't be the last. Light skinned girls are usually most wanted models for videos nowadays . Seems to me like light skinned girls rules, the other day, a girl was trying to turn white using some home stuff to bleach. Lol

 Anyway bossip.com reports 

  Ahead of the upcoming concert that will see the likes of Akon, Wizkid,

Sarkodie and more in Ghana, controversy sparks! In a recent video shoot for

an up and coming Akon and Wizkid video, some Ghanaian models and girls

were called upon to participate by the directors a few days ahead of the shoot.

Presumably prior to Akon and Wizkid's arrival in Ghana. A model reported on the day of the shoot some girls were turned away as the

agent (or the man responsible for calling them) informed them that “they now

want half cast girls”. A term used to describe girls with mixed heritage, usually

ones with white blood in them. “THEY”, most likely referring to Wizkid, Akon and/or his music video producer,

turning away a fleet of arrivals originally requested to attend by the model scout. In

fact, the agent requested if the girls could help him seek light skinned girls because

‘THEY’ were so adamant on this request even on late notice. Nigeria, where WizKid is from, and Senegal where Akon is from, are countries both

flooded with girls bleaching their skin simply because of such discrimination and

being made to feel ugly if dark. Not just in media and modelling, but general favours

in life. Whilst there are good people in both countries trying to reverse the self

esteem damage of such activities such as Adama Paris who banned skinned

bleach models from the Senegalese national fashion week, Akon and Wizkid’s team are trying to further such acts internationally. If this is the intentions Akon and the arrogant side kick Wizkid wish to introduce to

Ghana, then we will be more than glad to uninvite them. Unfortunately for these

bigots, Ghana has never been a land where girls are discriminated for skin tone in

any field. In such matters, it is obvious they will pass the blame onto an employee

to maintain their reputation. But for any such behavior, both these artists 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 comes to reality. It might come

across as simply music video request, but it’s a habit existing in our countries born

out of colonial rule, that unfortunately is also birth of skin colour discrimination and

self esteem damage. Thank God Sarkodie did not sign to Akon’s label Konvict. All I can say is I am

looking forward to the departure of Akon and Wizkid from Ghana. That would be

great news. In fact we would be very glad if any model continues to report any such

activities going on in Africa (with remits) so we can name and shame the real

perpetrators behind the skin bleaching epidemic.
