Akon denies discriminating against dark-skinned girls in Ghana

A Ghanaian fashion blogger, FashionGhana.com, last week claimed that Akon and Wizkid requested for only light-skinned models and refused dark-skinned ones from appearing in their music video. (If you missed it, check on it here). Well, Akon says the reports is absolutely false.
"That doesn't even make any sense, that don't make no sense at all" he told TMZ. When asked again if the story was false, Akon laughed and said 'It's absolutely not true"

Okay n who re we going 2 believe

Iro ni. Akon don lie.

Mich said...

Well,it would be hard to believe you Akon.
Whoever Wizkid's publicist is should start training the lad on how to deny the accusation when he's asked in an interview...that's if Nigerian interviewers would even bother asking.

When I first saw this story, I was so pissed, I didn't know what to say. I actually took my wrath on TMZ instead of the foolish Ghanaian website that put up the story. These Ghanaians can be so petty, the writer actually wrote that he was happy that Sarkodie didn't sign for Akon record! What rubbish?! Looking down on Nigeria and Nigerian artiste, when Nigeria is what brought the international spotlight to Africa! Most Ghanaians actors are here plying their trade and most Ghanaian movies are bankrolled by Nigeria and they dare look down on us?!! WTF is the matter if Akon and Wizkid decide to use fair girls in the music video? It's a choice not a statement. So if a producer decides that Jackie Appiah is better suited for a role than Yvonne Nelson, he is discriminating against Yvonne? The writer of that story should go and flush his laptop down the toilet!

But of course. He'd never admit to it if it happened. It's this type of discrimination that's resulting in women harming and charring themselves by bleaching. They're responding to the message from the Akons and Wizkids telling them they can't be one of the beautiful ones if their skin is a certain hue.

Blog diva said...

Lol, I'd advice u get a reading glass u seriously need 1

InkDrop said...

their choice though but it's so funny.with akon skin they had the mind to reject dark skin gals.akon skin isn't even dark.the guy is blacker than an old woman's cooking pot but most ghanaians are very dark and fleshy.ghanaians started it all,they all think a movie will sell if nadia,juliet,van,majid and other mixed races are in it.majid is so annoying.am not hating on him but i don't enjoy his movies.most of the ghanians over act and used many colourful things in their movie.i need real actresses like mercy,nse ikpe,cha cha,ini.they interprete their roles very well.genevieve used to do same and stephanie but they've changed.i love them still.nigerian movies reflect on the poor and rich society.crime,culture,beliefs and religion as well as life style and campus life but ghanaian movies just wont stop talking about royalty and riches.am tired of prince,princess and king/queen movies.

Even if he did and so........Ghana should go and take several seat.......you guys like badmouthing naija and I don't where the competition came from....I don't blame them for wanting light skinned girls cos.......you guys are so f***ing dark that you would't be seen on telly if you guys where featured.........linda my dear pls post my comment

Anonymous said...

Whether akon and wizkid are guilty or nay doesn't matter....truth is, ya'all can't say it's racism cos dey are also negro's, matter of fact akon is even negroer(whatever dat means) than some of us negros. So it's imperative that we affiliate dis fact 2 freedom of choice... it's a free world and every one is entitled 2 dia own decision....live and let's live

how can they go to Ghana of all places looking for light skinned girls? Why not go to cape town where they are in abundance?

Unknown said...

U talk true , those Ghanians suppopse dey compe wit Sudan for who black pass but if its true dat Akon n Wizkid requested for fair girls I don't blame him b'cos a person who has never visited Ghana wud think they have fair pple b'cos of Ghanian movies always featuring half-caste girls when their people are as black as charcoal

Anonymous said...

Am sure u are very dark. If u were light skinned u wouldn't make that statement

Anonymous said...

Hi swt. Aw ar u doin. I think i likes ur comment.

If d guys want light gals let them have them,I am sure dey have both featured dark gals in their previous videos. Culd be they just realised their sudden preference for light gals,abi no be mix breed Wizkid is currently dating? Let them exercise their freedom of choice,at least Ghanians still have light gals,bt am sure dt wuld be a tall order if He tries dt in Senegal!
