Controversial Ghanaian media personality Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart has slammed singer Becca and other women who have bleached their skin.

Speaking on his Onua Maakye show on Wednesday, February 12, 2025, the veteran broadcaster expressed concerns over many women lightening their dark skin with beauty care products.

Captain Smart noted that many women who had bleached their skin had developed body odour, which had made them unpleasant to be around whenever they stepped into town.

The media personality stated that bleaching had negative impacts on women who engage in it, as it deterred men from getting married to them.

Citing award-winning songstress Becca as an example, Captain Smart claimed that her alleged constant bleaching had made her look unnatural.

"See how Becca looks nowadays. She looks like a doll. She has lightened her skin even though we all saw her rise as a beautiful black-skinned woman. Nobody even hears her music when she releases it nowadays. She has bleached her skin and her talent."

The controversial media personality advised women against bleaching their skin as it was harmful to their physical well-being.

Over the years, skin bleaching has become a lucrative business in Ghana, with many women and sometimes men all engaging it by purchasing numerous licensed and unlicensed creams and soaps to lighten their skin.

Many Ghanaians have ignored constant education on the life-threatening effects of these skin-lightening creams and soaps due to the presence of mercury in them.

Per a report released by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Africa Region and the Integrated African Health Observatory (iAHO) in November 2023, 39 out of 100 hundred Ghanaians were found to be generally involved in skin bleaching and the widespread use of skin-lightening products.
