6 Years After Yabbing Her for Bleaching, Dencia Bashes Linda Ikeji for Doing Same.
Dencia did not hold back in her response! Let’s throw it back. The year was the early 2010s. At the time, Cameroonian star Dencia was an upcoming African artiste trying to break into the Nigerian music market. While that wasn’t going swimmingly and her music wasn’t being taken as seriously as she had hoped, she decided to branch out into other business ventures and she created a skincare product line called Whitenicious which was targeted at correcting hyperpigmentation.
