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

Found this on US gossip site - bossip.com. They jacked it from FashionGhana.com. Read the report below...
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.

What is wrong with them requesting white girls,please we africans should know when to respect people's wishes,these guys have been using dark skin models in most of their videos,so why dis noise now from just one video,we blacks are becoming more racist than the whites,because this outcry is simply "racist".

Irony of life! While so many of them out here can't wait for sunshine and many even go as far as tanning their skin to get just a little bit of what these shallow minds have, majority low self-esteemed African girls opt for mediocrity, fake and artificial life of skin bleaching. Really pathetic! What a shame! I'm Nigerian by the way and nothing like an Ebony skin. Girls of Color are the best. The best "piece" of a woman's body looks great in black not pink!

Well I don't find anything wrong with choosing the kind of girls you want to appear in your video, it's your money and your choice. Beside Wizkid has featured a lot of black models in his previous videos and nobody complained, why now?...everyone is beautiful as created by God, so anygirl that chooses to alter that cos of money should have herself to blame not Akon and Wizkid. #Reality

Are the girls fools? Those foolish ones that bleach their skin for attention from guys know this:
1. Skin cancer is real,don't go looking for it.
2. Men don't know what they want most of the time. You might be popular with them but they turn around and marry dark skinned ladies.
3. Bottom line,be yourself! Exfoliate and moisturize your skin and you will bring out d best from your skin whether dark or light skinned.

IjeUSA said...

I hope this is not a Ghanian writer, what do they mean by they don't discriminate based on color? Watch their movies - once u r light skinned u get the role even when they clearly can not act.
Look at Juliet Ibrahim, Nadia Buari & Van Vicker. None of them can act to save their lives - they r where they are becos Ghanians want to dispel that notion that Ghanians are dark.
I'm not in support of what Akon did but let Ghana not be hypocritical here!

LIES! Ghana plays that ish to the max. Thier movie industry is getting filled up with biracial kids who can't act to save their lives... from Van Vicker, Nadia Buari down to Juliet Ibrahim and co. The only biracial who is talented to the core in "Ghallywood" is Michel Majid. The rest are undoubtedly famous because of their complexion. You have dark skinned stars like Ecow Asante Smith, Jackie, etc who are marvelous but their success is no match for that of their fair skinned colleagues (most who are quite new to the industry). So don't pose like bleaching, white is right mentality and all that sad stuff ain't rampant in ghana

Linda, ask those oyibos we dey alwys lie down under sun for beach & swiminimg pools wetin dem dey do there,you would be amazed. Infact make i break the little secret, they are deliberatly darkening their skin. It is called "Tanning."(google and confirm). No,not bcos they enjoy the hot sun,Not atall,they just wanna appear dark ,western supermarkets are alway flooded with tanning cream for people who want to get tanned artificially. It is a big time biz most of dem engage in.

These people are just plain stupid..Why are they making an issue out of Nothing? Most African musicians @ one point or the other have used a light skinned girl or half caste for music videos..Sounds more like they're the ones with inferiority complex and security issues..Am caramel in complexion and am comfortable in my skin..Av met guys who say they prefer fair girls and i've also met the ones who prefer dark skinned girls,infact i have a cousin who can't stand a light skinned girl..my point is this,its a matter of preference. There's no need to descriminate on a person's complexion/race...,whether fair,dark or white...if they request for light skinned girls,let them have what they want,don't see any reason why any one is mad about it,its just stupid to me

SIMPLYCOCK said...

I, SIMPLYCOCK, unashamedly prefer light-skinned girls to dark-skinned babes...
I prefer busty women to tiny titties girls...
I prefer fairly tall girls like Linda to short ones...
I prefer full, buxom, voluptuous girls to skinny, tinny-winy babes...
I prefer fine-faced girls to ducklings....
I prefer black ladies to Caucasian women...
I prefer brunette to blonde...
Honestly speaking...
Wizkid and Akon are entitled to their preferences respecting the type of women they want to feature in their music video...
It is beyond just a matter of colonial mentality...
People must be bold and unabashed about their choices...
Another name for it is authentic existence!!!
So, to hell with the Ghanaians, their low lives, and the fucked-up writer of the article!!!!

Oh my gosh! Why do foreign reporters keep making it seem like people in naija bleach their skin because Nigeria as a society discriminates against women of a darker complexion? That is not true! They bleach their skin because they are obsessed with what they watch on tv and they want the foreign "beauty". It is 109% insecurity on the lady's side. I'm sick of these false no substance reports. I am a dark complexioned lady and I have not once ever been discriminated against. My people are obsessed with my skin and call me their black beauty.

All you guys talking about maybe the concept required light skinned girls are just trying to hide behind one finger and maybe y'all like light skinned chicks no biggie with that, but the topic of discussion her is music videos in Nigeria this has been going on for long and we all know it's not right, it's only the upcoming musicians in Nigeria that use natural complexion models in their videos and once they make money u will not spot a single dark girl in the video, e.g dbang's first video had dark girls with nice both that's what brought him out now tell me what do u see in his videos?????? Imagine terry g see grove, very African song that was naming everywhere had white girls who couldn't even move a feet to the beat, timaya's latest ukuw with Nigeria concept had a non Nigeria girl with fake butt in the video, the list goes on and on the fact is these artistes are making a mockery of the African colour and Africa it's self writing songs only us understands and flooding d videos with white girls who just stand there like stick.

Discrimination is only known as "video concept" or "personal preference" in the minds of some LIBers then. In some parts of the world, the reports of women being blatantly turned away on the basis of their skin color would have resulted in lawsuits against the venue and artists and millions in damages for the victims. The artists don't get carte blanche to break laws that protect citizens against discrimination because they're spending coins on a music video.

As a dark skinned (caramel) beautiful young lady what I say is I don't mind it, if it's their preference so be it - I understand why people are upset but some people don't mind dark skinned like I like my fellas dark :) some people light (actually many people I guess)..

Thank Ghana for standing up to scum bags like these African men. One thing I admire about Ghanaians is that most of them arent ashamed to be very dark skinned. They are more comfortable in it than Nigerians (on average) and it probably has to do with the fact that their men aren't crazy about light skinned women vs some Nigerian men that lust after light skinned Igbos/Niger Deltans constantly.
I wish such a thing can happen in Nigeria because this bleaching thing is getting out of hand. Girls are dry, ashy, and discolored due to this bleaching bullshit. If (Nigerian) society didn't put this kind of pressure on women to be fair, would the majority of women even feel the need to bleach? I doubt it.
BIG UPS TO GHANA!

I always maintain that a black woman's worst enemy is the black man. How many onyibo rock and pop videos do you see featuring black women but black men feel that the only way to show you have achieved is to flaunt a white or mixed race women. Lol

Alicia says... said...

Nigga, you are stupid as hell. Why turn away girls because they aren't mixed or light skinned? Is it not Ghana we're talking about? A BLACK AFRICAN COUNTRY! Fuck outta here.

Alicia says... said...

EXACTLY! I don't support those color-stuck niggas either. Only black men will glorify women of every other race before their own. ONLY BLACK MEN.

Alicia says... said...

Bitch please. I'm fair skinned and these things irritate the hell out of me as it shows how inferior black people feel about themselves. It's a big shame and disgrace!

Alicia says... said...

Idiot

Alicia says... said...

True. I have to agree with that. Besides Majid Michel and maybe Frank Artus, the rest of those light skinned mixed ghanaian actors are there for "eye candy" and nothing else. Their acting is horrible. Especially Van Vicker and Juliet Ibrahim. Terrible, just terrible!

Let's nt b too racist here truely, am a very black guy n often proud of my complexion until I travelled abroad n without usin any cream I started becomin white. Now d tin is I wonder if deep black is my real color or its d effect of d sun. Sumtyms stayin in AC cn giv u light skin. Besides y is a black baby yellow at birth, y r sum of hw cuzins born dere fairer? Just sayin sha, stand a chance to b corrected though

Kylie said...

You are a fool, ever met anyone from sudan? Even akon himself is darker than an average Ghanaian! This is nonsense you are just a hood rat nigerian who has never travelled before. akon considering that you have lived abroad and seen varieties of women in different shades I expected more from you. Mentally enslaved people by the way I am by no means a dark person.

Kylie said...

Remember it is not the decision of Ghanaians to use those actors and actresses, rather the retarded producers and directors who before their career began have never traveled. Once you stay in a different country with lots of white people you appreciate black skin that is the more reason I pity Akon, as for wizkid you cant blame hi, he never saw the wings of a plane until he became famous so you can't blame a local champion who worships these halfcos most of which don't even know their fathers.

Alicia says... said...

Nigga you are one ugly motherfucker. I'd be the last one to talk if I were you. Is your mama fair skinned?

Alicia says... said...

@Anonymous 4:19 I thought the same thing a while ago. Beverly has nice full lips and big beautiful eyes but most people immediately dismiss her as ugly because of her very dark complexion. Even saying she can't hold a candle to Candice (who looks very average with heavy makeup) but has very fair skin. The average Nigerian suffers from inferiority complex, based on my encounters with many and the way they "reason"
SMH, so sad.

@millah
there are more non - mixed ghanaian actresses and actors that mixed ones. joselyn dumas, jackie appiah, yvonne nelson, lydia forson, john dumelo, yvonne okoro, james gardner,naa ashorkor, just to mention a few, are all full ghanaian. as far as i know there only four or five mixed raced ghanaian actors just because nigerian producers decided to work with mostly the mixed ones doesn't mean that all we have. last time i checked you nigerians have also featured mixed raced people in your movies too so y'all need to get off ghana's back ok.

You must have very low intellect if you do not see the rippling effect of people of such large influence making such a statement. Idiot

Anonymous said...

I do not see anything particularly wrong with the requesting a light skinned/mixed race model or actress. That is the requirement of the role they're trying to fill, no biggie! However, they should have spared some girls the embarrassment by posting that on the casting advert before having all sorts of colours come through the door. It screams unprofessionalism.

The bleaching thing and light is better than dark argument is a whole different ball game. Quite frankly I think it is pathetic.
