Nigerian model with tribal marks on her face, Adetutu, has taken a swipe at singer Simi for talking about people with tribal marks in her cover of the trending #FvckyouChallange song.
Adetutu, in her reaction
mentioned that Simi’s choice to use the phrase: “sè mo kòlá ní” which
literally can be translated from the Yoruba Language as Do I look
stupid?, is quite derogatory.
She wrote:
I
have tribal marks and I really do appreciate it now because it’s my
tribal marks and a lifetime heritage. Listening to @symplysimi
#fvckyouchallenge reminds me of what I have been hearing ever since I
was wise enough to know when people are passing insults to people with
tribal marks. Mostly said by some of my Yoruba people, “sè mo kòlá ní”
means do I look like an idiot/stupid?People with tribal marks
are not daft or stupid, I don’t care if they have been saying for long
but it is not a right thing to say
