Tekno Allegedly Rejects Dark Skinned Model for his Video Shoot Because of her Skin Colour

Tekno accused of discrimination against dark skinned model.

According to an Instagram user identified as @quinbeee, Tekno refused to use her for his music video because she is dark skinned.

The model shared her story on her IG page where she told of how she had to walk out on the singer.

She was supposed to be the lead vixen for the video, she claims, but Tekno refused to use her because she was dark skin. He decided to opt for a light skinned model instead. As a consolation, he asked that she feature in the movie but insisted on the other model doing the close range shot. She rejected the offer and walked away, she said.

Her post below;

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_gambit whom 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..
