Spice is backtracking on her comment regarding skin bleaching in Gambia and has issued an apology.

The Dancehall entertainer/Reggae TV show star was blasted in the West African country recently after a video surfaced online with Spice claiming that majority of the women in Gambia bleach their skin.

Spice, whose given name is Grace Hamilton, has since issued an apology after widespread criticism according to newspaper Whatson Gambia. “I see a few people saying they didn’t like what I said about Gambian Women, that some of them bleach. So if I offended anyone I’m sorry,” the “Black Hypocrisy” singer said.

“Gambia I got mad love for you,” Being the first dancehall artist to perform in the Gambia, am sure she does have love for the people, but perhaps her statement came off the wrong way. Bless up Queen Spice and Gambia; it is behind us,” she added.
