BBNaija Tolanibaj agrees she doesn’t have a large fanbase because of her dark skin

Ex-BBNaija housemate Tolanibaj has agreed with a fan who attributed her low fanbase compared to other girls of her season to her dark complexion.

The fan @Pamzyyyy wrote on Twitter:

“Some things don’t add up. Tolani baj is such a top babe. She has a strong character, she’s ambitious, her work ethic is insane. Her self assurance & confidence is top notch. She’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL. Y doesn’t sh have 1 of the biggest fanbases in bbn ths yr? Damn Colorism is real.”

The reality TV star and media personality responded in agreement to the tweet, writing:

“Aww, thank you beautiful, Nigerians are colourists but y’all not ready for this conversation. P.s: I won’t go back & forth with anyone to defend my statement. I will block you expeditiously.”

In another tweet, she added:

“Brown skin women in the industry deserve their accolades too. Stop overlooking them and choosing them last.”
