If there is anything we like about Mzbel, it is the fact that she is honest and stands for what she believes in. In an exclusive interview with Starr FM, the Awosome hitmaker revealed that she bleaches because growing up as a teenager, bleaching was commonplace in her area. She posited that though she regrets, she is unable to stop because of the side effect.
“Bleaching in James town at the time was common. It wasn’t a big deal at all,” she said adding “There are some bleaching products that cost GHC1000 which lasts for just three weeks.”
“Attempts to stop bleaching has been very difficult as the side effects are so clear when I make the attempt…I am able to afford the cream because I have a job that pays well.
“I regret ever bleaching. I wish I never did bleach. I wish I had someone advising me,” Mzbel said.
The controversial musician, born Belinda Nana Akua Amoah disclosed that she now has a foundation through which she uses to advise teenagers against bleaching and teenage pregnancy.
“Whenever I have the opportunity to go to Jamestown to do charity work, we talk about teenage pregnancy, and skin bleaching and I always use myself as an example.”
