Asides from being in an Industry largely dominated by men, the women in the Nigerian entertainment industry constantly have to endure the speculations and bashing sometimes tossed their way.

And even though some of these things come with the territory, the public would argue that most of the backlash is some sort of chain reaction.

Not one or two female celebrities have been accused of bleaching in the past and even though most of them are usually thought to be Yoruba Actresses, you’d be surprised at who else has been accused of lightening up their skin.

Tonto Dikeh


Tonto Dikeh is not a newcomer to criticism and controversies. In fact, you’d probably remember her last controversy before you remember the name of her last movie.

However, the recently married actress is not fazed by all of these.

And neither was she fazed when she was accused of bleaching her skin numerous times. Tonto who seemed lightskinned before the fame, was accused of enhancing the color to a paler skin tone.

The Sugar Rush Singer who has shared photos of her after receiving Spa treatments (most recent from Freda Francis’ owned Oasis Med Spa in Ikoyi) has neither confirmed or denied bleaching her skin.

Toyin Lawani



The OAP’s most recent scandal might be from her marriage but way before then, the most popular scandal trailing her was her skin color.

A few years ago, after Toke came into our consciousness, many people branded her a “bleacher” and did not go easy on the media personality.

And the closest she ever got close to discussing it was in an interview with Liz Yemoja where she never really owned it.

One thing she said clearly though, was whatever she did it was her business.
