“Blac Chyna is going to Lagos, Nigeria to promote a bleaching cream and I am honestly disgusted,” one person wrote.
Another tweeted, “Blac Chyna partnering up with Africa's bleaching king and queen to create a new face bleaching cream is beyond problematic.”
Still, another person argued that it’s less important to focus on Chyna’s actions and more essential to get rid of the attitudes that make black people want to bleach their skin.
