Tory Lanez has no time for colorism and isn’t willing to let it slide.
I got mad respect for @torylanez . That video has tears in my eyes … of joy. I’m a crybaby , yes. But colorism is real. Happy to know that there are actually men that stand up for women on topics like that. Nothing but respect ?❤️?

Watch what happened when he discovered that a director he was working with pulled an African-American model from his video and replaced her with a lighter-skinned peer below…
He had this to say about the unfortunate situation…
WHAT IM NOT GOING TO DO IS ALLOW ANY OF THESE DIRECTORS TO DE-VALUE OUR BLACK WOMEN. Countless times I’ve seen directors swap out our women of color for women of lighter complexion, or women with straighter hair ETC.
His fans celebrated his no-nonsense approach.
Need to see more people like Tory Lanez to speak up and stand up against colorism in all forms.

@torylanez Had to stop a director from swapping a dark skinned woman with an ambiguous one for his music video. It’s bittersweet, really. 2019 and colorism is still so prevalent.

Wow I just became a fan he actually stood up
Good for him I’m glad someone stood up!
I noticed this doesn’t have as many comments on it! Maybe it’s because you hoez are negative and miserable and just want to hate on people like Ciara !
Exactly. There’s no fun here for them cause it’s nothing to hate on. Negative spirits can’t thrive in a post like this.
Had heard of him but never really bothered to look him up, now he’s on my radar. Will be looking him up to see what his music is like.
Well turns out this was all fake…good thing I ain’t give his ass no streams
????????????????????
Good move Tory! Now please do the same with your music! It’s not as effective when u stand up for black women while also degrading them with ur music
People way to sensitive!
Mybe she wasn’t performing right or director wanted other options. Not everything is about race and trying to play some one because of there tone.
if thats what that director is know for doing to dark skin girls then that different.
I think this is a publicity stunt.
Why? He was getting roasted online for saying he was trading Ayesha Curry for a white girl that twerks well on IG and plus why is the incident prepped for recording? The lightskin girl was already there for the shoot so therefore she was chosen for this stunt.
Tears and salute to my brother! More black artist need to follow suit! That’s just that on that!
? wow.
you people actually fall for this fake outrage of his?! okay.
TSK TSK TSK… Little do you know this was all for clout. The model confirmed that it was a straight up stunt in the ShR smh. I never believed it, not a fan of this dude.
