Wizkid has been criticized by some fans after he shared behind the scenes photos from his new music video which is being shot in Miami. The video, which was partly shot on a yacht, shows the singer frolicking with Latino models with no dark skinned girls in sight. See more photos and what some had to say about it after the cut...

Lol. None of my business! Story4dgods#
I guess he is of the notion that his video is better "packaged" that way #African mentality
Almost all artists do same, so who cares?? Only pple wit major inferiority complex see wrong in it....
Make fans go rest! Make una leave wizbaba alone nau, u guys are making that guys tensed in what his doing, nd it has strtd affecting his music, this thing d vex me, cuz I knw how sweet his music sounds.
This young boy is in for it! Nothing he does pleases his fans anymore! Well that's good news if u ask me, God still awaits the redemption of his soul Ps 100:3-4 Act 8:22. BishopDammy#
Abeggie, make them nagging black girls go chop shit. Must always complain. We blacks are the once that see color.
Black gals dey para.. Now davido will be using black gals to counter him.. #call me indigenous lib# v_okunola@yahoo.com
Well, our girls bleach and wear Brazilian hair to look like them latinas so why not go for the real thing? Carry go jare, at least they are fine.
He should av used some dark skinned girls atleat to represent partly where he is coming from.... 1st Comment ... karengarber42@yahoo.com
F*ck em! Is it there video!!! Why do black people feel the need to use the race card anytime they want? So what if he decides to use white girls? I don't see what girls getting amped up that he uses just black girls in his videos; and they dig his videos. Come on people!! Come on!!
Is it their Money? tschew
"When he get on, he gone leave your ass for a white girl"
That's why I love Obama, the most powerful black man is with a 'real looking' black woman.

Clearly shows he's not proud of his colour,,,,m stl a big fan tho! #passydubem#
Wizkid is still a kid. Yes I know. But I second with his choice. If e dey pain Una go sing put monkeys as Ur backup dancers. Cheers Wizbaby. ENGR Engr
He's the type who'd date only white girls if he lived abroad. Guess he settled for his basic girlfriend because the light skin camouflages her plainness in his eyes.
Wiz, uo heard them. LIB Princess! Pretex4luv@yahoo.com
Yep I kinda don't really support it not cos the girls are light skinned cos afterall we have light- skinned africans but because they are not blacks wether fair or dark, not even 1. He should watch videos of R.Kelly N Rick Ross, Usher etc There's always some nice mix-up of girls. Some nigerians will always be ass kissers When they try their copycat moves, they overdo it. Get some sense ni! Shebi it's so we will say he sang with white girls.. 0ya we done see # No hate ----C21
I see nothing wrong in using white girls biko....... Classic vidio I anticipate....... I AM MISS LIBER*MISS MEENAT
They think doing it all white everything means they have arrived. Nigerians are their own biggest haters. They promote other races,never themselves. Let's wait and see the real video maybe he'll add some chocolate
What I've been able to deduce from the foregoing is that nudity is not synonymous to black girls. No offence, please. #Vanilla#
Lmao ...awon babes ti yari! Won fariga
BIKO MAKE UNA LEAVE STARBOY ALONE. NA UNA GO JUST DEY FUEL WHAT IS NOT. ABEEEGGG, LINDA NEXT PLEASE!!!!!
abeg u jobless pple shld sharrap..must it b blacks evri time..bombay n show u d moni did he shoot d vids wit whites..pple must criticize evri tin..jobless bitches seeking attention.....................................#KingOfKings
I think Wiskid should ve ask the video director to mix the girls with black. But mind you, these chinks are clean.
⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥♡thanks ⌣̊┈̥-̶̯͡»̶̥
We all sld understand, ds is professional work and u employ either dark colored girls or light skin girls, who so ever u want its is money.. let leave the boy alone, his having a good time.
Does it really matter? Its not like he has never used colored girls before. I personally don't see any issue here. Sometimes these videos are shot based on the idea/inspiration behind the song.We don't know that in this case.Also that may be his own way of properly delivering the video.The issue would have been him using light skinned/bleached African girls thereby encouraging other girls to follow suit. Its just an inherent character for humans to find faults in what ever you do. They've been asking for a new song/video from him n he delivered,now its colored girls.If he used all black am sure they'll still find something to say. Please its high time we drop this color insecurity ish and let people do what makes them happy. I don't know how wizkid using latino girls in his video affects me or anyone.
I care less!!
That why he will always remain a kid!
Free d guy joor na by force.... (Promote your race) na advert

Using Latino standards, those chicks aren't paragon beauties considering their bulgy bellies.... . More African men are beginnIng to cross date and inter racial mingle,buh african women especiaLly Nigerians even more especially igbo women don't wanna racial route beyond their own race- and that is why you all are feeling that Latinas and white women are stealing your brothers....None of my business if he prefers latina chicks over black chicks or mongloid chicks over caucasian chicks- what concerns me is his musiC, if it is tight..........This boy Is running out of ideas and luck, perhaps some latino women in bikini piece and some shayo praising verse would fix thAt#cheEzyjayne
Hmmmm wizzy,where are d African Black Queens? Frolicking wit d latino models!Hope tania omotayo won't get jealous? Luv u wizzy!
All Nigerians do is complain. They ar so fond of complaining dat they no longer see any gud things in anything. Mtcheeeew
Wizkid..Please do your thing..Pple will always talk. I feel you to da bone...Nice one
Well, so he should dump his 'light-skinned girlfriend' and start dating Lupita shey?! Msheewww. Have ya'll thought that he's trying to appeal to a different demographic? Sigh
To even think that a black lady is his baby mama... Shame to all them stupid Najia celeb, using white girls in there video's. We lack love in this country.
Inferiority complex. Nonsense! And to think he, his baby mama and his son are all dark. Hiss!
Let him be jor as if he's first person, see dorobucci why una no complain, let him be, am not a fan but let's call a spade a spade not shovel. Any small tin dey attack him. Haba

Na today? na all the artistes de use light skinned girls, after dem go condemn bleaching/ toning, after systematically promoting the rejection of dark skinned gals.
I SMH for the young dark skinned teenage girls growing up without the aid of strong supportive parents to boost their self esteem.
Maybe, just maybe the dark skinned girls are mostly covered up and have refused to sell their dignity and modesty for cheap popularity...
#Idonwakacomot
IS IT A MUST TO USE BLACK GIRLS? DIFFERENT VIDEOS AND DIFFERENT CONCEPT.HE CAN USE INDIA GIRLS OR EBOL..SORRY LIBERIA GIRLS FOR ALL I CARE.._JAY_Y
It's only a man who has got complex problem dat will only use white chicks instead of black.
He has better make sure all d Latinos buys all his albums before returning home. #am out#
Wizkid is no-longer producing music but looking for where to enjoy his money
I support them ; why should he use only fair girls as if they are better!!!! he should use his head not his dick !!! SMILE
abeg leave wizkid alone if he uses black girls u will complain,he is insulting black girls.thumbs up i gbadu u anytime anyday

Lolzz may be there are no black girls in Miami. Not only wizkid,all our Nigerian artistes r doing same too bad!hissing #
I have a frnd who wants to look lighter. Her reason is that her dark skin makes her look unkempt.
Someone on this blog once said light skinned girls look better on camera.

serves him ryt....cus we buy n listen the music promte the money making n they celebrate it wit vanilla pussyz
Linda, Blacks comes in different shades bcos someone is light skinned doesn't mean they are white or latino... Even mix race people don't claim white... I am sick of Africans crying over skin colour, bcos they are dark skinned doesn't make them blacker than a light skinned black girl... I don't even like Wizkid like that, make them leave am alone.. wizkid and davido, are not just a brand for Nigerians they have gone international, if them like make them used paris hilton white in their video na them sabi and no be only Nigerians they enjoy their music...
Linda so how many pple came after him. Go n pack well abeg. About 10 out of 240 comments.
I guess gone are the days where they even used to chance black girls with one token addition. I guess the token will spoil the look of the shot now. I'm not surprised. If he can go to Ghana of all places with that akon that was burnt in the womb and ask for no dark skinned girls to audition, by the time he reached Miami he just exed black girls all-together with another race. At end of day the mother who gave birth to you is as dark as dark, so if you don't think black girls are worth looking at, it begins with you mother. Just be careful that when you have kids with a super light skinned lady, the kid doesn't come out as dark as their distant uncle akon since their mother was using egyptian milk to fool the world. I protest with my pocketbook so will never buy the song and will sit when it plays. God open the eyes of your heart Omo wizzy ~~ black and lovely
Its big ass nd fair girls dey use nw for vids
Some pple are just haters.... All ds while he has been using black gurls in his videos, no one complained o. Pls free d guy, he's allowed to try something new for a change. U all are just suffering frm inferiority complex and all u do is hate on oda pple's progress
light skinned girls are always favourites 4 music video shoot and even if a dark skinned lady is in d video they will b like side chicks,am fair in complexion nd love my skin colour.Miss indomie says so.
nigerians...una can talk...chaiii!!! smal time una go say make dem dey use innoson cars do video! wiz'man (he aint a kid no more) has made his money and can do woteva d f&#k he pleases...if e dey pain you, go an make ur own or no buy e music again!!! moreover, import tins r better b4 1 desperate naija babe com ruin d man career wit al manner of stories wey we al go stil com read 4 lindi blog.
I,m a die hard fan of #wizkid..buh wizzy u F here..
Where are the black ukwu in miami...
#c'mon man,promote ur Race..Negroid..
True tho! They re not bn nice with their not using black girls thing.
This is exactly how he'll lose his fanbase. Honestly, other than experimenting with him, Americans- Latinos, Blacks or Whites - will not take much interest in his music, unless maybe he's trying to crossover completely. I, for one, will not be supporting him anymore. This is the exact reason I don't support a lot of African American artists. I will not spend money on his concerts when he doesn't employ anyone that looks like me. This isn't going to happen. I encourage other women to boycott his ass also.
To me this is no news because every1 nd his or her own choice of wat u like, probably wizkid is so obsessed wit fair skin ladies,so I see no prob wit that.
Nigerians are the biggest irredeemable self haters on the planet! They hate everything of their own but worship foreigners to the high heavens. Videos like this and Dorobucci are a big disappointment, yet Nigerians still complain about why the outside world does not view or value us as human beings. How can they when we don't even love ourselves?
Artists, especially musicians, owe it to themselves and their country to promote Africa as much as possible. Not flying to cape town or London to use mixed or white chics, as if nothing good comes from your country. Why then complain that western media only shows negative sides of Africa when our own artists don't help by promoting everything else but Africa and Africans. Do these people even patronize your music? 99% of your fans are black Africans as a matter of fact. This mentality is why Nigeria will NEVER change.
People saying they see nothing wrong with this clearly don't see how deep this issue is. I SHAKE MY HEAD in disgust at you all. I simply don't support such artists. Those latina and white women can buy their music, not me.
FYI: black people CANNOT be racist. Its amazing how Africans are all for being "one human race" but it never benefits us and we are still at the bottom of all sectors of society. DROP THE F***ING SLAVE MENTALITY!!!
Nkrumah said, "A man who is not proud of his colour, is not fit to live", an African pioneer, it is a shame for whizkid!!! His music is wack anyway, he sounds like a goat, whose neck has been slit, for consumption purposes: he sounds like a boy in pain, really sad!!! Whizman
At least now it's getting clear that somebody somewhere is paying the PR to spoil this guy and soon the truth will be out! Whatever he does, there'll be bloggers, commentators to twist it out of shape. Try hard as you like, you cant bring down this prodigious talent!

Is this not the same Wizkid that just released Show You My Money shot at Surulere and full of black guys and gals and also Bombay featuring black ladies, where are all these shameless detractors coming from?
Fans ko, ceiling fans ni. Abeg these are not his fans but wolves in sheep clothing. Paid detractors whose evil will soon be exposed.
Please, who's paying the PR to lambast great wizkid on social media? Let's join hands to fish out this evil-minded people
its his choice, so those critics should shut up
People are just full of different opinion sha. Atleast those girls are NOT white Americans, what again o we want him to do? To go look for Lupita's younger sister?
We are becoming racists than the whites now.

make your way out of jamb stress at kayboysays.blog.com
Some peeps should chill Abeg.. What does it matter if he decides to use white girls through out.. Its his song, music video and money , he has the right to use whoever He wants ...some people just like making trouble unnecessarily
While it is really none of our biz, it is highly problematic. I generally have a cae against the objectifying of women in music videos that we are not really needed, just there to jiggle our stuff. But the issue is this: How many white people do you see using black girls in their music videos? We africans are showing day by day that we do not love ourselves, that light or white is more beautiful, that our hair is 'ugly'(we even found a way to call it 'due'), we make fun of people with flat or bulbous noses(a feature that is basically african) I mean come on. There is something definitely wrong here. We have been bombarded with western standards of beauty that african women may never be able to meet up with without some sacrifices(and consequences). Wizkid using light girls is just a tip of the iceberg.

Latino chicks rocks jhoor! Free d guy
abeg let him jor, as if those girls wold pay attention to some negro straight from africa if his money wasnt such a huge factor. idiot sha
Am short of support on this story, hv we considered maybe d choice of girls in d video was not his to make b4 criticizing him, it's director and casting team who choses things like these
I was watching MTV base's throw back recently and I beautiful's video by pharell and snoop dog and then I saw how they portrayed black girls so well even though the video was shot in Brazil. The camera real focused on one very dark girl in bikini. I have also realized that most black american artist use black girlz in their video, infact they mix both black and white girls.. Back to the matter; inferiority complex dey do most of our artist, they believe they have made it when they use white girlz, it gives them a sense of achievement. I don't blame them after all the white skin is seen as superior to the black skin. They shuld change their perspective.
I hate white Skinned girls Be it Latino or Caucasians, I am a full time racist and i hate whites more than they hate black and if Wizkid so love them, then i hate him too. Fuck...anyway, he is just a kid.
FOOOOOOL!!!
NONE OF MY BUSINESS THO
BORN TO SHINE!!!!
The people who see something wrong in this video are actually the ones living in mental Slavery...Like seriously what's with the noise? Some of you complaining are very much guilty of bleaching your skin so who y'all trying to decieve?...I've seen black girls in music videos of Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Justin Bieber, Eminem etc but ofcourse, that one will be okay to you inferior folks#SIT DOWN PLEASE! Leave Wizzy alone and just enjoy his music already, Jeeez!
I'm light skinned and you can even jump off a bridge with that idiotic comment.
GBAM!!!! Nigerians are used to eating shit, that's why they see nothing wrong with it. Do they see other people running to Africa to do videos? They promote their own, so why can't we do the same?
Interiority complex is killing this country faster than corruption
GBAM!!!
We are slowly becoming more racist than anybody else in the world. Then again, discrimination is in our blood i guess. Is it every time black girl black girl, can't he do something different. Aint we all humans?
Has anyone given it a thought that black skinned gals might cost more where dere is a high population of light skinned girls.......shallow fellows
Nigerians r jst unrepentant hypocrists... where do u want him to get dark skinned gals from?... every dark chick is bleaching evn fair ones r getting fairer!!!... nobody wants to b dark skinned n nw u guys r accusing of using only light skinned gals, Wen u don't evn appreciate it dark skin... SMH... ur cases will take anoda eternity to get judged!!!! Nigerians I hail thee
how about we encourage the fact that he has plus size girls in his videos as well and not completely condem him
But what's the big deal?
Lol everyone here is not serioous. Real recognizes real at the end of the day Wizkid know the truth. I enjoy listening to an African artist who promotes Africa. His son will see his videos and follow him. Just like Fela Kuti sang songs about justice and a better Africa his sons do the same thing.
The level of ignorance displayed in some of the comments here is disgraceful. They reflect the unfortunate lack of understanding among many Nigerians of the impact of visual images and media messages on the psyche and developing self-worth of young people.
What Wizkid has done matters because of the message that he has chosen to send to the young Black girls and boys that are his fans across Africa and the Black Diaspora. In the past decade or so, Nigerian musicians have become more and more influenced by their African-American counterparts and thus, we have seen their videos being increasingly populated by mixed race and non-black females. This is extremely sad as many of them are clueless about the history of slavery, racism and colourism in the US of A, and how the black community there is negatively impacted by the effects of racism and colourism. For WizKid and other misguided Nigerian musicians to import this colourist mentality and project mixed race and non-black women at the expense of Nigerian (and other Black females) is very disturbing and sad.
Someone commented that only Blacks see colour. Really??!! Let’s see now, how many white artistes use only black females as dancers in their videos? WizKid used Latinas in a video shot in a city that has blacks resident in it. How many Latino musicians have used only black females in their videos? How many white South African musicians use only black South African women in their videos? Many Nigerians now spend hours watching Telemundo; how many of these Telenovellas on Telemundo have pure black women actresses in lead or even minor roles? (Note that these shows come from Latin American countries with significant numbers of black citizens.) Across all other races, men promote their people and their features. It is only Black people who seem to have a pathological need to marginalise their own women, especially if such women are dark skinned with kinky hair. And yet, we wonder why we are still the backwards branch of the human family?
All those of you who think videos like this do not matter need to learn how to connect the dots:
1) These constant music videos that show Black men idolising and elevating the beauty of other women have a negative impact on the psychology of Black females, hence, the rampant need for weaves, skin bleaching and so on.
2) The girls in the video were paid for their participation, therefore, since black musicians do not like casting them and men of other races promote their own women, dark skinned Black women dancers and actresses are left with the crumbs. SO, basically what is happening here is these black artistes rise from obscurity with the support of Black women but once they make it, they give most of the jobs to mixed race and non-black women. This used to be more of an African-American problem, but it has increasingly become one that we have to deal with here. And yet, some people think that it ‘does not matter’.
3) Whilst many Black people ignorantly sing ‘We are the World’ and think purple Unicorns that pee rainbows actually exist, the other people groups build and protect their interests at our expense. Wizkid’s video is just the tip of the iceberg. This self-hatred is reflected in the way our leaders govern our nations; the way in which business people are willing to sacrifice our interest for a few more dollars; etc. All of this is a reflection of the many ways in which we hate ourselves.
A disturbing percentage of Black people despise the way they look and that is reflected in the things they do and say. Sadly, many of these sick individuals show up in the entertainment world.
FINALLY, LADIES LEARN THE ART OF RECIPROCITY. Don’t give your support and resources to entertainers and businesses that do not support you!
@Alicia. Well said. You understand what so many of our people either do not or are unwilling to understand. Until we change our mindset and ways, Black people will continue to remain at the bottom.
