  • WINFIRE69

    Amen to what??? U sound stupid. Lead by example not be a follower that is just ignorant come with something of substance.
    When you bleach ur skin that tells black people that u shouldn't love ur skin color. He does the unexpected please!!!
    What he needs to do is try and donate his time and money to the greater good of Jamaica and not cake soap. I'm Jamaican and a lot of poor people need help upa country. Build schools and medical centers. EACH ONE TEACH ONE!!! BIG UP BELFIELD, HIGHGATE, SAINT MARY ETC....

  • marshh

  • Ummm…Really?

    You are making yourself more at risk to get skin cancer....That's not entertaining. Smh he looks like a zombie.

  • deecee84

  • http://bossip Gat Turner blam blaaam!!

    lol, this dude really tried hard to play this bleaching shyt UP didn't he?!?!

    Talking bout " i am an entertainer" "shock value"!!!

    GTFOH fool, we recognize when it's black self hate goin on.....that industry is hard man....they want ya soul.......the great whites do..........and you my friend sold yours 4 cheap.......ashy ninja!!!

  • juliemango

    He makes some valid points but im surprised that a male reggae artist would bleach his skin make the change so obvious and brag about it!!!

  • Gray

    @for4real. What the heck are you talking about ?!! What he is doing is another form of self hate,period. You can't blame the industry for any of this,he is a grown man and he describes himself as a "conscience" rapper. You can't talk that and then turn around and cry 'the industry made me do it!!' if we as his fans and fellow jamaicans don't like it then we have a right and partial duty to speak up on it,complain about it and let everyone know that it is not something that all jamaicans do or approve of. It's a slap in our and the youths faces bc he should have thought twice before doing something so unhealthy and stupid. Jamaica is suffering right now and he takes his money to bleach out his skin instead of donating it to kids who can't afford to pay for school. Smh

  • kazmy

    He has made some interesting and valid points but dang he looks like a perfect candidate for dawn of dead. I wonder if it is the Blue Bomber or the Ajax cake soap. I know they worked wonders on getting those whites really white.

  • The Cynic

    Who cares if other Black people love themselves? If someone has self hatred what does that do to you personally?

  • Wildcherry666

    Nicca needs to stop lying. He knows damn well he did not do it for shock value. He just got it twisted thinking he was looking good. till he got reminded that he looks like he got a damn disease . At least look good when you trying to change it up. damn.

  • Nya

    Am waw wonder why Lil wayne has not done that yet, since he loves, lighter skin complexions , expecially on women.

  • Shay

    He looks better with his darker hue-love yourself as you are don't be a follower-you look like your gravely ill.

  • Boobookitty*****

    Yuck!!!!!!

  • SamIam

    OMG! How stupid are you? Skin bleach will kill you. The complications from this practice are clearly do*****ented in medical journals. In addition to shortening your life span by a few decades you will be chronically ill until your p*****ing. He looks ashy and very ugly. BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL, FOOL!!!

  • platano

    YO... AH PAPOOSE YOU A FAVOR NOW SAH !!!

  • http://facebook Gilbert

    Its your choice Kartel.js live ur life

  • a.robinson

    wen white try 2 get black u say nice tan but black try 2 get light and it's selfhatred?he just went 2 far with it 2 each his own he was't cute dark r light

  • Lily

    No one wants to talk about it, but I see many African-American entertainers and news anchors doing the same thing: Arthel Nevell, Tyra Banks and local news reports on the Baltimore City news channels and many others. They are fading away and they look gray and dead. It is not a good look. Please stop bleaching your skin.

  • sammyboy

    nicca gone crazy,looks like he got aids and he aint no concious brother ,the only thing he talks about is the pum pum punnani n the *****y, i think he tried bleaching himself but it backfired ,nicca u black n u shud be proud of it this fool shud learn from the younger youth like romain virgo.

    ALL OF YOU SHUT UP. THE WORLD SHUN DARK SKIN PEOPLE, even in Jamaica. Did you know that the Jamaica Gleaner doesn't put dark skin people in their paper, unless they are doing something bad or begging. Anyway, 95% of black men in Jamaica need a light skin woman to feel complete. So leave Vybz alone. MOST BLACK PEOPLE DON'T LIKE EACH OTHER.
