Shots fired! Diamond Appiah is defending Nivea in this whole argument and she’s not holding anything back.
In her latest defence of the company against Fuse ODG and the campaign he’s started, Diamond hits at the ‘Antenna’ hitmaker for being a hypocrite.
Diamond wonders why Fuse is currently fighting so hard and claiming that ‘black skin is beautiful’, yet he uses light skinned and mixed race ladies in his music videos.
Diamond also points out that not every African is born dark skinned and that the fairer ones also deserve a product to take care of their skin.
In conclusion, Diamond points towards other social vices like smoking and drinking which deserve more attention that this trumped up campaign against bleaching.

Dear Nivea,
I have seen a lot of unnecessary rants on social media with regards to this billboard and the product being advertised and as a cosmetologist I will advise you to take this opportunity to educate the ” ignorant dark skin ” Ghanaians who find any products for the fairer skin ones offensive.
This group of insecured dark skin Ghanaians who think the beauty of an individual is their skin tone should go and do a thorough research about the ingredients of a products before starting any unnecessary bleaching campaigns against a brand.
They should channel their campaign on the harmful social vices like cigarettes smoking that kills thousands of people everyday and local gin consumption ( akpeteshi ) that is damaging to the organs of the body thus killing thousands . Nobody has ever died of Using Cosmetics so they should give us all a big break. #We were all not born Dark #Fair skin needs Fair skin products #Stop the Hypocrisy
