Safaree Finally Reveals Skin-Bleaching Truth
The Brooklyn native went to his Instagram page to provide all the clarity needed. According to Samuels, he used the headline-generating craziness as a marketing ploy to get people hyped for a new skincare line.
“I just want to say I would never, ever, ever in a million years bleach my skin. I only said that because I’m dropping a skincare line. Pretty much it’s too enhance your already beautiful skin. That’s all it’s about. So everybody that was hitting me up, people who I really know was really asking me, am I really going to bleach my skin, I will never ever, ever – I do whatever I gotta do to enhance and make it right.”

Safaree Shocks Fans W/ ‘Bleached’ Skin Photo
Recently, the “Love & Hip-Hop” alum posted an abnormally bright Instagram photo of himself. When former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant Don Benjamin asked for an explanation, Safaree answered, “started my bleach process bro.” However, fans were accusing Safaree of simply using a photo filter or Photoshop to alter the pic.
“Just working on me the best way I can. It’ll all make sense soon”
Safaree Might Be Recycling A ‘Love & Hip-Hop’ Story Line
If this all sounds familiar to “Love & Hip-Hop” fans, it’s because it is. A few seasons ago, Jamaican dancehall singer Spice had a story line on the show about bleaching her skin. But it turns out it was just a stunt she pulled for a music video, intending to spark a conversation about colorism.
Creating Chaos W/ Skin Bleaching Announcement
The New York native ignited a flurry of reactions following a publicized announcement to undergo a skin bleaching procedure. It all started when Safaree went to his social media pages to alert the world of his random decision.
“Starting my skin bleaching process today… it’s time for change ???? =????”
As most would expect, social media didn’t hold back on sharing disgust and confusion. Twitter flooded his post with thousands of responses.
“You could’ve kept this self hating sh*t to yourself. You’re a public figure and people see this. I’ll never understand people hating their blackness.”
“Unfollowing you off this tweet”
“I Wonder What Made You Come To This Conclusion???”
