Controversy
Sean Tizzle reportedly walked out of a live interview when asked if he bleaches his skin.
When asked the question, Sean responded, “I don’t know why I would bring this question out,” and asked the host if it looked like he was bleaching before walking out of the interview, showing his middle finger at the interviewer.
In explaining the reason behind his skin tone in another interview, Sean said he has never bleached his skin, and too much editing of his pictures makes it look like bleaching.
He said, “The media just come out with a lot of unconfirmed reports. You don’t know me from anywhere and you just decide to criticize me. I never bleached my skin. Before the fame, I used to be this guy that likes editing pictures because I thought that it would make me look fresh which was the same mistake I made with the pictures I posted then. I posted a picture that I edited that same way as it was already a part of me to use filters on my pictures but unluckily for me it backfired and people assumed that I bleached my skin. Sebi na me you dey see so, I resemble person wey bleach? So now I just drop my pictures the way it is now, I don’t edit anymore.”
