Azealia Banks might just be the first woman in the public eye hit with skin bleaching rumors to actually come out and emphatically say they’re true. “My personal opinion about skin lightening. I consider anything that has to do with removing layers of skin or pigment, I consider it all bleaching,” she said in a Facebook livestream earlier this year. “I say lightening.”
“To say that [skin bleaching] negates what I’ve been saying about blackness in America is ignorant and just stupid,” she added. “Nobody was upset when I was [wearing] 30-inch weaves, tearing out my edges, and doing all types of sh-t like that. You guys loved it, but what is the difference?”
