You can't make sense of it all. You have Black women desperate to look lighter skin collectively spending a few billion dollars worldwide annually doing this. White women on the other hand collectively spend an even much bigger fortune (some estimates are of over a hundred billion dollars) globally annually trying to make their skins darker by using self-tanning products or by using professional tanning salons and other related products and services.
NO WONDER THE SKIN COSMETIC BUSINESS ALWAYS BOOMS NO MATTER THE STATE OF ANY COUNTRY'S ECONOMY.

You still refuse to take your tablets. You will end up killing yourself if you continue on this self-destructive path.

You see her worldview?? But for the music, what feeds her, Africa us shit. In the absence of Afribeats (what actually feeds her) she would have thrown her identity to the dogs. Such a warped thinking

She is messed up in her thinking and does not feel african.

I'm not sure she has changed.
