Ameriie‘s new platinum mane had many a tongue wagging yesterday. Speaking with our friends over at Rap-Up, the 30 year old revealed the inspiration behind her new look.

Her comments after the jump…

“I’ve always wanted to go platinum blonde, and I figured I’d finally just do it. One of the things that inspired me are photos I’ve seen of children in the Solomon Islands. They are very brown-skinned, and a lot of them grow white-blonde hair naturally. The contrast in dark skin tone and extremely light hair is really beautiful to me. So I just went for it!” {Source}

Ok then…

In other Amerie news, she continues to record her new LP ‘Cymatika Vol. 1‘, which is due in stores next year.
