A new photo shoot with Beyoncé Knowles has caused quite a stir because the singer's skin was darkened.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the cover shoot was for French fashion magazine L'Officiel Paris and there was a reaction to the R&B singer's skin being darkened, with critics saying the look is akin to 'blackface'.
According to L'Officiel Paris, the make up and clothing she donned for the photo shoot was a nod to the music of Fela Kuti.

Knowles was reportedly so moved by Kuti's music after watching Broadway musical 'Fela!', which is co-produced by her husband, Jay-Z, that she will be incorporating the late African musician's sounds in her next project.
