India Arie and other celebs accused of skin bleaching
After celebs like Keke Palmer, Tempestt Bledsoe and a hoist of others were blasted by fans who believed they were deliberately lightening their skin, a soul singer is now facing similar allegations. India Arie is the latest celeb accused of skin bleaching after a promo picture for her new single was released. Arie, 37, is currently promoting her track “Cocoa Butter” which is the first single from her “SoulVersation” album.
The cover art for the song however is raising eyebrows considering that it shows a significantly lighter skin tone for Arie than fans may remember.
The photo has since sparked a series of reactions on Twitter as seen below.
