Model Alleges That Singer Tekno Refused To Shoot With Her Because She’s Dark-Skinned

A Nigerian model with the Instagram handle @Quinbeee has gone on the social platform to say that Tekno refused to use her as the main model of the music video of his song ‘Your Love’ because she is dark skinned.

According to her, he settled for her doing the full shots so a light skinned model could do the closeup shots with him but she walked out on ‘him and his set’.

She concluded by saying,’If a Tekno rejects you, Look up to a Wizkid, Wizkid inspires me everyday to love my skin with his videos and how much he appreciates black women’.

She wrote,

I had the worst experience today as a darkskin model, I woke up at 4am, got to Oregun on the mainland at 8am, and waited for the director @paul_gambitwhom i respect a lot. Anyways to cut the story short, after all my stress, Tekno arrived on set, it was time to shoot with him. Tekno refused to use me as the main model for his #yourlovethevideo shoot cause i’m dark skin. Later he settled for me doing the full shots so a light skin model can do the closeup shots with him. But i walked out on him and his set. Dark skin women are beautiful and precious, we don’t settle for less and we don’t get to be an option, we are the option. Black girls please love your skin and never feel bad about rejection, If a Tekno rejects you, Look up to a Wizkid, Wizkid inspires me everyday to love my skin with his videos and how much he appreciates black women
