Yet another story about the man and his bleached out face and body. Vybz ‘Cake Soap’ decided to send a statement to VIBE.com to express his feelings on the (bleaching) matter, saying:
“I’m my own man, and as such I do my own thing. When black women stop straightening their hair and wearing wigs and weaves, when white women stop getting lip and butt injections and implants, when bald men stop getting hair transplants, and when people stop getting nose jobs and cosmetic surgery then I’ll stop using the ‘cakesoap’ and we’ll all live naturally ever after. Until then, f**k you all.”
