Following a comment Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) made some few weeks ago that Yvonne Nelson has changed in complexion—from dark to fair, considering how she used to look like some years back, Yvonne Nelson decided to hit back.
Yvonne Nelson who appeared on ‘Hanging Out With KOD’ on GH One TV over the weekend threw some shots at KKD, saying, she was disappointed in KKD over comments he made about her complexion which sort of suggests that she has bleached her skin.
It seems KKD is furious with the statement Yvonne Nelson made and has taken to his facebook to write a whole piece about ‘black being beautiful’. You do not have to read it twice to know who KKD is throwing the daggers at…
After posting the below piece, KKD is reported to have said on a certain Accra based radio that, his write up is not directed at only Yvonne Nelson—- but to all black people who for whatever reason think they look better by being light skin.
Also, KKD added that, if he was the President of Ghana he would never give public office to any man or woman who bleaches…
He continued by saying, skin bleaching has become a serious problem in Ghana’s Entertainment industry and sadly public figures who are supposed to be role models to the new generation are the ones bleaching the most.
Ending it all, KKD said anybody who bleaches—be it a male or female surely has a very low self-esteem.
Read KKD’s write up below…

Love the skin you are in. If you have bad rashes, deal with them through a doctor and his/her medical prescriptions.
But please SAY NO TO BLEACHING!
Many otherwise pretty women today have weak skins on burnt faces, bosoms, arms, thighs and legs caused by the bleaching they denied they were doing in their youth.
As global warming makes our part of the world even hotter, and skins in tropical climes get darker to better protect us from the harsh rays of the sun, daughters of a proud black nation that spearheaded the independence revolution south of the unforgiving Sahara desert are getting quizzically lighter. Hmmmm.
Whilst bleaching remains off the radar in many educated & well-to-do African and Caribbean homes, it is saddening that the poor, illiterates in dire need of any passing act to imitate may just photocopy this needless practice of bleaching to the point where their elbows and knees will be nearly opposite in complexion to their cheeks and bosoms. Men, women, boys and girls are equally gullible as evidenced by some performers and their herd of sheep.
