Vybz Kartel Defends His Newly Bleached Skin
Jamaican Reggae and dancehall artist Vybz Kartel has resurfaced as a much lighter skinned man. Although his transformation has caused much backlash from fans and critics, the musician (born rather dark-skinned) compares his decision to fairer people getting a tan.
“This is my new image,” Kartel said. “You can expect the unexpected. I feel comfortable with black people lightening their skin. They want a different look. It’s tantamount to white people getting a sun tan.”
