Davido’s baby mama Sophia Momodu has started a beef with Maria Chike over skin bleaching.
Sophia called out Maria following the release of an advert by the BBNaija star promoting a skin bleaching product.
The advert has drawn outrage not just over promoting skin bleaching but the fact that it glorifies light skin over dark skin.
In the advert, Maria is walking and everyone around is marvelling at her skin.
Amazingly, all those marvelling have dark skin – sending the message that they don’t like their dark skin and want light skin like Maria.
Sophia said that message is disgusting and she couldn’t believe that’s what is being taught in 2022.
“So just to be clear, a naturally light skinned woman is walking through a crowd of darker skinned people including children and they’re all ooo-ing and ah-ing at her beauty. And this is to sell a bleaching product which literally has ‘white’ (so subtle btw) in the name?
“Meanwhile the entire cast apart from the lead character are all naturally dark skinned people? Is this what we’re teaching kids in 2022?” she marvelled.

Maria herself has yet to respond but a fan of hers has taken on Sophia.
According to the fan, Sophia has done her bum so she has no moral right to speak against bleaching.
“She wey do nyash nko?? Not like she’s better,” the fan clapped back.
Sophia is raising a valid point though irrespective of the feelings of Maria’s fans.
It’s absurd to send the message that something is inherently wrong with being dark skinned, especially just to sell some bleaching product that is probably harmful to the body.
