The mother of one said that she tried to bleach her skin when she was a teenager.
The Motown Records signee dubbed ‘The Queen of Afrobeats’ noted that her mother found out but wasn’t angry at her; rather, she was disappointed.
Savage, 41, said:
“I actually did try to bleach my skin when I was about, I think, 14, 15. Even now, on my back I have patches… My mom, she was cleaning my room and saw the cream that I used to mix with lemons. She wasn’t even angry. It was more her disappointment. So I stopped, but I was always insecure about being dark.”
