There are pros and cons to being a celebrity. Big bucks make fast, companies knock on your door for endorsements, and millions of fans engage with you on shows and social media. This kind of worship of stars has made many people spare no effort to meet the expectations of fans. A perfect example is that many celebrities, male and female, bleach their skin to gain recognition and increase their visibility. While some are local, some are global superstars, showing that bleaching is not just a presence in Kenyan show business, but a global phenomenon.

Celebrity skin bleaching is a common thing, and there are many reasons for it. While most people change their appearance for more business deals, other celebrities are starting to take classes because they prefer lighter skin tones. Some do this to expand their relevance in the cruel world of entertainment. Whatever the reason, there are plenty of celebrities out there who lighten their skin.

While this trend has caught on in Kenya, it is prevalent in the US, where many A-list celebrities are using various methods to lighten their skin. More recently, Congolese citizens have been known to bleach, almost an industry norm. When it comes to bleaching black celebrity skin, the method will vary depending on the shade you want and exactly where you want to lighten.

Being a star comes with a lot of expectations. Fans expect a perfect person, while stars fall into the trap and try to offer the same fantasy to their followers. This has led some people to bleach their skin and even undergo plastic surgery to look perfect. Here’s an example of a star with bleached skin.

1. Vera Sidika

Since her appearance on P-Unit’s You Guy video, she must be one of the few celebrities who has grown from video vixen to mainstream celebrity. Vera Sidika has bleached her skin, and as she said before, it doesn’t come cheap. She’s used her celebrity status to build her business empire while throwing high-end parties, which may be her return on investment from her fair skin.

2. Nicki Minaj Bleach

The self-proclaimed queen of rap has come a long way on her way to becoming a global superstar, and her every move is followed by legions of fans. Nicki Minaj’s bleached skin isn’t the only body enhancement surgery she’s had, as the celebrity has had plastic surgery to enhance some of her other physical features. As a celebrity, she certainly knows that entertainment isn’t always about music, but also the looks, stunts, and drama that accompany it.

3. Beyonce Whitening Skin

Often referred to as Queen Bey by her fans, Beyoncé is undoubtedly one of the most talented singers in the business. With numerous awards, a Grammy and a possible Oscar for her The Lion King album, Beyonce is undeniably talented. She is a black woman, but her skin is always lighter, a telltale sign of bleached skin. Mrs Carter is certainly a celebrity who can afford any type of skin bleaching.

4. Ciara

Ciara needs no introduction. She’s been in the business long enough. She is also one of many celebrities accused of skin bleaching. Compared to his earlier years, the “Never Ever” singer has a much lighter skin tone.

5. Blac Chyna

Blac Chyna isn’t shy about her skin bleaching decision. She even launched her own whitening product. The promotional materials for her creams give the impression that her products are suitable for a high-end market that needs this kind of service.

Chyna even admits to using her products to lighten her complexion. She used the opportunity to try and increase sales for her skin-whitening brand, but she was met with a lot of criticism. Black Chyna even promotes her skin lightening cream in Nigeria, where the practice is common.

6. Diana Ross

After years in the limelight, Diana Ross has been getting a lot of attention lately, sometimes unnecessarily. Her current skin tone appears to be lighter and very different from her natural skin tone.

The fact that Diana Ross never addressed her whitening problem has fueled speculation that she has. However, her actions did not affect her popularity. Diana Ross’ huge fan base still supports her work and great personality.

7. Khanyi Mbau

A little closer, we have Khanyi Mbau, a famous actress from South Africa, admitting to using whitening products. The multi-talented woman has opened up about her experience with bleaching products. Khanya Mbau even opened up about how much she spends every month to lighten her skin. The famous figure has received quite a bit of public criticism for her actions, but due to her thick skin, she has no regrets about her decision.

8. Rihanna

Over the past decade, bad girl Riri has amassed a considerable fortune from her music career. She even dabbled in fashion, making her one of the youngest tycoons in the game. Besides her business acumen, Rihanna is no stranger to controversy. Rihanna is accused of bleaching her skin to make her look lighter. One fact that seems to confirm these allegations is the photo above, from the early days of her successful career to the present.

9. Sammy Sosa

The former baseball player admitted to using bleach products to lighten his skin. He said it was in response to criticism that he was darker-skinned. His bleaching eclipsed his illustrious 13-year career in baseball.
