"I like to put girls in my video that I think are hot. If a really hot black girl came to a casting, she’d be in my video. I think that people even focusing on the race issue in my videos is a problem. And I would almost react by never putting black girls in my video, because I’m that type of person – rebellious. I’d be like, ‘If that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m never gonna put black girls in my videos.’
UK artist Taio Cruz reacting to being criticised for not having black girls in any of his videos.
Does he have any Nigerian blood?

with those crusted lips of HIS....abeg shove this dude back to Ekiti state where he belongs.....anotha shameless Naija/Brazillian
His dad is naija.....
BTW - the song is catchy but if u wanna succeed in America dont allow RACE be the subject of ur career......Craig David suffered thesame feat.....American music market is full of folks that have better sounding voices and they know how to play that PR game betta than TAYO
REBELLIOUS my left yansh......NEXT
i read this the other day on theybf.com and was so angry. This is a blackman talkin abt he's not seen a girl hot enough to cast n u look @ the girls in his video they're not all that. I just prefare a blackman who appreciates his own n hv no respect for someone like him....lost idiot
Yeepah...the boy fine no be small o......
this dude that has not even reached anywhere has the effrontery to yarn wetin e no sabi... hot black girls ko. someone should let him know that a nice voice or a nice song is not such a big deal...the choir master in my church in d village probably has a better sounding voice. so if his PR skills are zero...he's heading to obscurity so damn fast.
yes, he is nigerian. he's father's name is Oni-lere
he is very stupid. that's how most black men in the diaspora think. they think they can never be successful with a black woman. they are stupid. look at ashley cole, kobe bryant, terrence howard, etc the list goes on. many black men with white wives/girlfriends. that's why me i'm coming back to naija after school to hook up with naija guys oh before i will stay and rot because a blackman (african american, britsh, watevea u r still black from africa) is insecure about himself. stupid boy. mchew
and where has his white girls led her,silly mediocre
He's half nigerian,half brazilian. Whatever he chooses, I'm sure he knows the consequences of sensitive issues.
What an arse...not like he's even famous.
STALE JIST
THIS HAS BEEN OVERFLOGGED ON BELLAS BLOG AGES AGO.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME BABES.
Kai, naija men just dey spread their seed up and down. I can't even count how many mixed naijas i've met, and many of them don't know or didn't grow up with their dad. The visa thing is getting out of control. I've never heard of him, he's sexy tho. It doesn't bother me at all, whether he puts dark skin or light skin in his videos, it will not solve the deep issues that people are still struggling with, when it comes to skin color. Just like how many people criticize Wale for not putting enough dark skin girls in his video, "pretty girl". Women are beautiful in all shades of skin color, and all hair texture.
duh!linda you are rather early with what this dud said eons ago
Um ok firstly he's my first cousin and he is not half brasilian. He is fully nigerian. His mother is from the brazilian quarters of lagos state, campus in lagos island and she comes from the vera-cruz family. That's where the cruz in his name comes from. She brought him up in england so its not like he went and forgot his roots. He waznt brought up in them. And who is talkin up there about american music. Get ur facts right, he's a british musician. Doesn't even own a nigerian passport. So what if he doesn't fancy black girls. It doesn't mean he thinks less of them. He might just find white girls more attractive, what's so wrong with that? And he's allowed to go with his taste isn't he cuz he should do what makes him happy. He is very big where he is supposed to be. Stop hating and appreciate, he has the voice of an angel and has been singing and playing the piano since he waz 4. He has had a pretty shitty and tough life. Cut him some slack and go suck on some lime. Hiss.
Chill! This guy is my nephew o! Let him be!
sory oh cousin and nephew!!you guys should call a spade a spade and not be biased cos he is ur cousin or what ever.i do not see anything wrong with him using white girls also,but didnt you see what he later said " And I would almost react by never putting black girls in my video, because I’m that type of person – rebellious. I’d be like, ‘If that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m never gonna put black girls in my videos.’ WTF is that supposed to mean,smh,he better not left ego take over him and should watch what he says 'i am that kind of person-rebellious' what message is he tryna pass to his fans.mschewwwwwwww! p.s i dont even know him at all,this is d 1st time am seeing his name and i havent listened to his music!!!think before you post comment 'cousin'
Lmao.......at all the comments. who the heck is dis guy sef?????? pretty unknown abeg.....any better news??????
Haters of taio cruz he's been no1 on the charts in america for five weeks and he bumped up from no 53. Who made it anywhere without a bit of rebellion in them. Well now thay yall have brought it to his attention, when he puts black girls in his video, youl talk again. "Oh he's only putin them cuz ppl we're complaining" if he wants to react that way, its only normal cuz such criticisms can be irritating. U sit there and do everything according to how other ppl would like them and see how far u go.live and let live pls.oh and this is 'cousin'
i think everyone is misreading what the boy said, he said he likes girls he thinks are hot in his video, if she hot black woman, she will be in the video HOWEVER IF people keeping pushing him on not having enough dark skinned women in his video, he might rebel by just not putting them in his video at all. He said IF PEOPLE DON'T STOP MAKING THAT THE FOCUS INSTEAD OF THE MUSIC ONLY THEN will he make it an issue as well by NOT putting black women in his videos.
I don't know where you all get that he is putting dark skinned women down or saying he will not feature them in his video. AND even if he decides to do so which plenty of African American rappers refuse to do, it's his video, no be so?
If it so bothers you, then you can hit him where it hurts by refusing to buy his music, watch his video or buy any magazines with reports on him etc.

eh madam, before you miss-yarn: Terrence Howard is a product of two biracials meaning that he has white grandparents from both his father and mother's side. so, my dear Terence Howard ain't a 100% black since you like that word so much.
since when did Nigerians start acting like they suffered from slavery? oh please you people get this into your thick skull-YOU ARE THE REASON THERE IS RACISM IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE IF YOUR FOREFATHERS HADN'T SOLD THEIR BROTHERS ALL THIS SHIT WON'T BE TAKING PLACE. so stop acting like you feel their pain cuz YOU DON'T!
Who said Taio Cruz was on Hot 100 for 5 weeks, are you serious? He was there for 1 week, Rihanna's rude boy has taken over the #1 spot.
taio who?
