Music videos are perhaps the ultimate barometer for what is desirable, in vogue and current within popular culture. From slang, fashion and beauty ideals, music videos both reflect and influence what the masses envy and lust after.

A certain video vixen, model and actress, Quin Beee took to her Instagram page to lament how Nigerian pop star, Tekno rejected her for being dark skinned.

She said though Tekno rejected her, she looks up to Wizkid.

Hear her”: I had the worst experience today as a dark skin model; I woke up at 4am, got to Oregun on the mainland at 8am, and waited for the director @paul_gambit whom i respect a lot.

Anyways to cut the story short, after all my stress, Tekno arrived on set; it was time to shoot with him. Tekno refused to use me as the main model for his #yourlovethevideo shoot because i’m dark skin.

Later he settled for me doing the full shots so a light skin model can do the closeup shots with him. But i walked out on him and his set. Dark skin women are beautiful and precious, we don’t settle for less and we don’t get to be an option, we are the option. Black girls please love your skin and never feel bad about rejection, If a Tekno rejects you, Look up to a Wizkid, Wizkid inspires me everyday to love my skin with his videos and how much he appreciates black women”.
