TikToker-turned-musician Uncle Chumi, known for her hit song “Gwokute Gwobba,” has revealed that she lightened her skin following advice from content creator and herbalist Mukisa Samuel, popularly known as Model Music. In a recent interview with YouTuber Allan Cruz, Uncle Chumi explained that Model Music convinced her that musicians often look more appealing with a lighter complexion.
During the interview, Uncle Chumi appeared in an ensemble dripping with jewelry, resembling a New York rapper. However, what stood out were the gloves she wore, prompting questions from the interviewer. She candidly shared that while the skin lightening process worked well on her face and arms, it left her with dark knuckles, leading her to adopt gloves as a fashion statement to cover the uneven complexion. Uncle Chumi’s transparency has sparked conversations about beauty standards in the music industry.
