Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has confessed to trying to bleach her skin with lemon as she speaks on her struggle with being black.
The Afrobeat queen shared her struggle in an exclusive interview with Allure Magazine. She said she felt insecure about her skin color when she was younger and tried to use lemon to bleach her skin.
According to her, she mixed lemon with her body cream but unfortunately, the mixture harmed her skin and she still has patches on her skin to date.
She said she only stopped after her mother found her “mixed cream” but she still felt insecure.
In her words:
“I actually did try to bleach my skin when I was about, I think 14 or 15 years. Even now I have patches on my back. My mom was cleaning my room and saw the cream that I used to mix with lemons. She wasn’t angry. it was more her disappointment. So I stopped but I was always insecure about being dark.”
