This picture of Fela Anikulapo Kuti suggests that he bleached his skin. What do you think?

Knuckles elbows knees and ankles are always darker than the rest of the body. That a person is darker in one of these parts is not a conclusive evidence of bleaching 4 Likes 1 Share |

Darker skin around the joints is not solely caused by bleaching as many ignorant people assume. So no, Fela did not bleach. 1 Like 1 Share |

It's obvious Fela bleached his skin. You can see the contrast in the colour of his skin and that of the lady in the picture. You can see his natural colour here. You can observe that his knuckles are the same shade of black as other parts of his body.

Friction perhaps. There's a form of planking I want to get elbow pads for, because your weight is on your elbows. He probably exercised a lot to stay in shape. |

I can't believe this needs to be said, but some light-skinned people have naturally dark knuckles, elbows, knees. It isn't always about bleaching. 3 Likes |

OP, Fela and his siblings all took their light complextion from their mother, Mrs Ransome Kuti. Dr Beko was the lightest. I cant help you research on elbow contrast but Fela was naturally light complexioned. I believe his habits with drinks and smoke may have even darkened him than he was naturally. Let me know if your Prof accept your thesis on the subject. 1 Like |

Another rubbish post by ibos, illusion that light skinned is peculiar to them alone in Nigeria... Fela came from lineage of light skinned people both paternal and maternal lineage ..His mom and dad was light skinned also his siblings ...Toye was light skinned olukoye was even lighted ...The picture you posted was in 90s towards his death, he was having skin problem blemishes he was becoming extremely fair leucoderma/ vitiligo due immune disorder he was losing his melanin pigmentation probably one of the symptoms of what claimed killed him Aids

What is the problem again now? Must the presence of blemishes generate so much controversy? |
