Previously: Vybz Kartel Admits to Skin Bleaching

“I’m my own man, and as such I do my own thing. When black women stop straightening their hair and wearing wigs and weaves, when white women stop getting lip and butt injections and implants, when bald men stop getting hair transplants, and when people stop getting nose jobs and cosmetic surgery then I’ll stop using the ‘cakesoap’ and we’ll all live naturally ever after. Until then F**k you all.”

    If you have nothing to be ashamed of why say F.U… what a dickhead. If you bleach that is your business…. who gives a bamn,

    you obviously have a complex about your blackness, which is a damn shame, and even though it is your business, but you’re a perfect example of why we as a people get such negative stereotypical labels attached to us! All of your ancestors are turning in their graves because they sacrificed their lives so you and the rest of us could be proud of who we are,and the fact that you said fuck everybody when nobody gave a fuck about your silly black ass wanting to be white, now you’ve just brought attention to yourself and I’m postin g this article on my FB page so everyone can see the dumb ass nigga who wants to be white! thanks you made my day wit ya silly ass!

    I agree. Nobody’s business. Nothing else to see here, move on.

    U ought to b ashamed of urself ….I have nothing else to say…

  6. imdoingme on January 22, 2011 at 8:09 pm

    the fact that he would compare skin bleaching to getting a weave is ri damn diculous…you can take a weave out..bleaching your skin is a little more deeper then just adding a few pieces to your hair..you are clearly saying that your darkskin that you were born with is not good enough for who you think you are…this is 2011 why does it feel like we are going backwards into slave mentality light vs dark is so beyond wack and we cant blame white people for it..its our own people setting us back hundreds of years and what makes it really sad is the fact that these artists have such a major influence over masses of people….who in turn will believe that their darkskin is not beautiful…Vybz Kartel needs to get real I hope his face falls off!

  7. WAVEY516 on January 22, 2011 at 8:22 pm

    ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS IS VERY VERY VERY SAD ESPECIALLY WHEN HE’S USING WOMEN GETTING WEAVES, BREAST IMPLANTS AND BUT INJECTIONS AS AN EXCUSE TO JUSTIFY HIM BLEACHING HIS SKIN! AT THE SAME TIME ITS YOUR SKIN YOUR BODY YOUR LIFE SO IF BECOMING A LIGHTER SKIN TONE INSTEAD OF BEING HAPPY WITH THE SKIN TONE THAT GOD MADE YOU IN MAKES YOU HAPPY MORE POWER TO YOU, MY OPINION PERSONALLY AS THAT THIS IS 2011 AND UNFORTUNATLEY THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD HAS COME TOO US AS AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE TRULY LOST AND SOME ARE ASHAMED OF THERE HISTORY AND WHO THEY ARE….

  8. yessur on January 22, 2011 at 8:26 pm

  10. John on January 23, 2011 at 1:25 am

    You guys are all overreacting. He bleached his skin. So what. He’s an adult, he’s rich, he’s entitled to do such a thing without being judged or criticized. This entire discussion is unnecessary.

  11. Solomon Nyanda on January 23, 2011 at 11:04 am

    @John cant be that simple, this guy is a star, a lotta of our youths listen to him, infact he affects a lotta dem, so what he does i give a fu**k coz i dont want my kid to get the wrong picture outta his reaction!

  12. Sledge on January 23, 2011 at 12:44 pm

    Wow….

  13. Sledge on January 23, 2011 at 12:47 pm

    That’s just sad. What good does bleaching your skin do? His whole statement was just plain idiotic, in my opinion. Are you trying to look white or something (not that there’s anything wrong with them or anything)? What’s wrong with the skin color you had before? You’re a disgrace….

  14. Danyel on January 24, 2011 at 2:16 pm

    i think everyone needs to get off his back about this and to everyone saying that he is a major influence on young people should feel mre confident in the way they raise there children so thay wont do the same. everyone is looking at it as controversial, but hes an artist, not a saint. if thats what he wanted to do…then tbats his life and his own decision. and in all reality, im sure everyone that is against him does something everyday to change their appearance, so why should it matter?? people wearin makeup. is a change, and he just did what he wanted. he is still black, regardless of the shade, and the ones who believe in their own eyes that to be lighter is better is being ridiculous, because that doesnt make a difference. if other people do it because they think that that is on them. a person is who they want to be, and all of us have something we would change if we got the money to….think about it….so i am 100% on his side and everyone needs to stop actin like its the end of the world. i mean let the man be who he wanna be… and to the ppl with kids focus on them more, and be more of a rolemodel, instead of blaming entertainers on their beliefs, you should enforce the morals. stop letting your kids idolize these people and be the one shining in their eyes…..

  15. Kaydia on January 24, 2011 at 4:30 pm

    Slave mentality! Got no respect for those who are not proud to be Black. Can’t believe Vybz could seriously look in the mirror and think that what he has become looks good. He looks like a duppy. Vybz Kartel WAS one of my favourite artists and now I would run for my life if I came up against that face and can’t even bring myself to listen to his music with the same enjoyment. He calls himself the teacher, well he is lacking some serious lessons!

  16. Isis Rose on January 27, 2011 at 2:54 am

    Well, since you went so far as to bleach your skin (f_n ridiculous), you need to do something about those ashy ass lips! Did someone say Carmex? Lmao!

  17. Gaza Junior on February 15, 2011 at 9:55 pm

    Fucka u all…
    Wat is da nonsense yall talking bout?
    Bleach is Bleach so fuck your self..
    He likes it thats why he did it..
