We will look back at Brown skin Girl's video in the next 50years and appreciate what Wizkid has done for Black history.

Brown skin girl is the most powerful anthem. @Beyonce did more for darkskinned Tamil women than any Tamil or Indian media I’ve ever consumed. Love you @OfficialSheerah you’re absolutely stunning ✨ pic.twitter.com/NaRx3qbSRM
