According to reports, British star Taio Cruz is saying that he may NEVER feature Black women in his videos - EVER. Taio Cruz had a hit song in the UK called Come On Girl. But in recent days, he's come under criticism for not having Black girls in any of his videos. Well dude is UNAPOLOGETIC about it. Here's his official quote: I like to put girls in my video that I think are hot. If a really hot black girl came to a casting, she’d be in my video. He added: I think that people even focusing on the race issue in my videos is a problem. And I would almost react by never putting black girls in my video, because I’m that type of person – rebellious. I’d be like, ‘If that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m never gonna put black girls in my videos.’ Soooo . . . let's get this straight. In ALL THE Castings, there hasn't been EVEN ONE Black girl who showed up that was "really hot"  We would BOYCOTT his azz if we even knew who he was . . .1 Like

Low self esteem brother who can only feel endorsed by white women. Shame that white skin will always be seen as more beautiful by some. Anyway let him take his tally number and join the queue. 1 Like |

And he wonders why he's unknown except maybe in the UK.  Seriously, this is funny to me: who the freak is he again? And he's actually doing black girls a favor, from my point of view. C'mon, women are usually degraded in these videos, especially when they're used in a bunch.   1 Like |

Riverman2: A bit of generalisation isn't? @Topic I think people are missing what is going on here. Casting agency can be of a bas7ard industry to get into. If you are ready to take the bullsh!t I guess as it isn't all glamour and what not. Ladies actually have to sleep with loads of people at times to get the part. Now I am not saying all the white girls do for that matter, but merely saying what I know about the industry. The artist in question is not even making a fuss. All he is doing is not trying to bow to pressure hence his comments. It is his video, he can allow who ever he wants in it. I don't see why this is an issue. Conversely, people can look at this as Black ladies not keen on perhaps going through all the crap that Modelling and casting industry is known for? Just a thought. 1 Like |

You'd have to guillotine this guy into bits before he'd consider admitting he has Nigerian roots. Honestly, I hope he never admits he is Nigerian or has Nigerian roots. @ Topic, No wahala. It's his choice. |

@post what about if a black person genuinely doesnt see any attraction in black women? any guy in here who has lived outside Africa MUST have met white/asian women etc who dated ONLY black men. is it a crime to be only attracted to people outside your race?! shouldnt we have preference in our lives any longer?! i know many asian women who dont like asians and who are only attracted to europeans/blacks. i know GANGS of "black lovers"(white women who only date black men). nothing wrong here! so if this artist wants to only put white/asian women in his videos then thats his problem. (as if a black man automatically should put a black model in his vids?!) |

@post Dude don't try to justify your actions (thats if you are like that),I mean its not a crime to date outside your race but saying its all Caucasian,Hispanic or Asians for you being a black man is nothing more than a taboo, it just shows that mister White gals who date black guys are either FAT or GOLD DIGGERS, Believe me |

you women are hilarious. why do you want to be degraded and objectified in a music video all in the name of "equality". I guess you won't feel equal or represented until nelly swaps a credit card through your backside. I rather have black women campaigning for more roles in broadway etc than this rubbish. i don't see how having a preference for hot white women equates to low self-esteem. phreakabit: this is definitely not a generalization. heidi klum is obviously obese |

this is definitely not a generalization. heidi klum is obviously obese True but you cant tell me she isn't a gold digger.He is a perfect maga,he accepted her when the real owner of her pregnancy turned it down, who be mumu? anyone will jump at an opportunity like that, besides Money is never enough you can always do with some more of it.Honestly sha if seal was broke and my sis brought him home for marriage i will beat the sh!t out of both of them,before unleashing the dogs on him, |

phreakabit: why do most people on NL automatically think that having an opinion means that we are ABOUT IT. i understand why someone like the poster would think like that, is that too difficult for you to understand?! i dont care if women are brown yellow blue or red but if someone red prefers to ONLY date yellow ones then so be it. thats HIS preference and this has absolutely NOTHING to do with inferiority complex. let me give you an example son: - a black man/woman who are only attracted to people with natural long blond hair or blue eyes wont find what they are looking for in the black community. thats not a complex, thats called preferences. the sad part is also that a person like yourself would DEMAND that such persons be attracted to blacks, either they like it or not. just like some african men might not like african music and might prefer country music. its called P R E F E R E N C E S. people like you are the ones always crying that you are wronged by society instead of living your life the best you can. i have never had problems with the media and i know "MR racism" since the day i was born, dont affect me one bit. i guess if i think like an ignoramus like you do then igbos marrying yorubas also have an inferiority complex as well as christian dating muslims. stop caring about what your brothas and sistas are doing with their lives and live YOUR LIFE the best you can. btw saying that only fat or gold digging women are attracted to black shows how ignorant you are. go out a little, hang around a posh circle, see the world, open your eyes. give yourself(and your race) a little bit more respect. black guys marrying for papers and white/asian gals dating blacks out of preferences are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. . . . . . . . . or are you saying that a black man can only date a white woman if she is fat or a golddigger?! let me help you on that: - Mariah Carey she is neither fat nor looking for a rich man,she just love the black men. - Robert de Niro is neither fat or looking for rich women yet only dates blacks(he is married to one now) also check the "lil"list of these following "black lovers"who are neither fat nor broke: Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria, Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Cole, Nicole Schwerzinger, Kimberley Walsh, Gemma Atkinson, Emma Bunton, Joss Stone, Carmen Elektra, Kendra(ex playboy bunny), Ellen Pompei (greys anatomy). get a grip on life, people date out of their race because they WANT and because they CAN! 1 Like |

any videos of his to go by? he may just have this negative image of black women as intimacy crazed, big bottom shaking nemphos, courtesy BET and the likes. anyway, i dont know the guy so I cant comment yet. and i dont think Seal used black women either. this kind of thing is more common with black people in Britain, I think. |

He didn't just randomly outright come out and say it, he stated that he refuses to pander to such critics, and would even respond by never featuring any black women in his music videos, in an act of rebellion. There's a difference. The whole race thing shouldn't really be that big of a deal and by the statement he made about people even focusing on the race issue in his videos being a problem, it seems as if it's not even something he himself thinks about, who knows. Quite frankly, he can feature anybody he wants in his music video. 1 Like |

I agree with phreakabit jare. You people can scream preferences all you want but there's obviously more to it. I won't get into that 'cause I really don't care that much. Really, this Taio Cruz issue is good news actually. Now, if Obama says he won't put a Black woman in office, like say the Congress, then wahala dey Unless the so-called females are being featured in the song, of what use is his using Black or non-Black women? How many of these video vixens are even known by first names except for the very few who went really hard in the "looking trashy" business. Puhlease. Black people need to start thinking big. Music video indeed. Rubbish upon knorr cube. |

Come on guys, it's so obvious . . . his target demographic are the white folks. That's not racism, it's just business. The UK is 92.1% white . . . there are only about 1 million black (prolly 500,000 youths)people in the UK. Black people will always buy his records because he's black, but that's such a small number. Record companies get white girls to make sure he sells to the 92%. In the US, notice how Justin's 'Like I Love You' featured a black chic . . . that's because he wanted to do a crossover song to be accepted by the black market. [b]Besides why doesn't anybody complain when 50Cent uses black girls?? [/b]Isn't that racism too?? |

chic2pimp: are you actually saying that this man, because he is black, cannot be turned off by black women and MUST be attracted to black women?! he MUST put black women in his videos because he is black?! LOL is that some kind of requirements in our genes? "you must always be attracted to your own race" and then people dare say that HE has an inferiority complex?! looking at it this way, it seems like YOU have the inferiority complex where you demand that there should be blacks in his videos even if he desires not to. who cares if ONE black artist doesnt want to have blacks in his videos? is that going to change anything in our social standing? is that going to make any difference in YOUR life? as eldee just said: why dont you guys cry "racism/inferiority complex" when white artist use only black dancers/back up singers? |

MRbrownJAY: the most incoherent piece of drivel I have had the opportunity to read in 2010. . . . . . . Taio 'Gayfish' Cruz said “I like to put girls in my video that I think are hot. If a really hot black girl came to a casting, she’d be in my video. I think that people even focusing on the race issue in my videos is a problem. And I would almost react by never putting black girls in my video, because I’m that type of person – rebellious. I’d be like, ‘If that’s how you’re gonna be, I’m never gonna put black girls in my videos.’” By that statement he is implying that there no hot black girls in this world. . . . . . . . . . Do u not understand why that statement is offensive?. . . . . rebellious?. . . .puhlease!! . . .thats just a guy with a huge inferiority complex, COMPLETE UNCLE TOM SELL OUT!!
