BBC star Maya Jama under fire as offensive tweets about ‘dark skin es’ resurface
o
In the now deleted posts on Twitter, the BBC presenter made controversial comments on the social media platform. In April 2012, Jama tweeted: ‘”Dark skin es shaving their head expecting to look like Amber Rose, when really they end up looking like Micheal Jordan.” Looooooooool’
Twitter users also felt the radio presenter also seemingly mocked the looks of a woman who is dark skinned. She tweeted with a star, fire and poo emoji: ‘Couldn’t decide on 1 so put em all together.’ We have chosen to blur the image that was shown:
The Bristol native of Somali-Swedish descent has not yet responded to the backlash but is currently trending on Twitter.
Making reference to her relationship with Stormzy one user said: ‘I expected a lot more from Maya Jama, considering she’s dating a dark skinned black man that has dark skinned sisters. ’ One fan tweeted: ‘Maya Jama bout to say “I was 16 years old I don’t even remember that” and make everyone quote that tweet saying it’s not a real apology’
‘Why are you making excuses for Maya Jama before she’s even made them for herself? Please take off your cape,’ a second user added to the debate.
A social media user complained: ‘“Dark skinned” girls are a “trend” now init. So now you realise “we’re all beautiful”. But before, when it was cool to cuss us you were doing kikiki with your mates. Plis. I’ve now cancelled Maya Jama too.’ ‘Maya Jama I was rooting for you,’ said one user while another said, ‘‘Loooool because it’s maya jama people will not see anything wrong with it. Let it be someone else now, you’ll see threads upon threads with the word “conditioned” flying all over the place.’
‘Maya Jama I was rooting for you,’ said one user while another said, ‘‘Loooool because it’s maya jama people will not see anything wrong with it. Let it be someone else now, you’ll see threads upon threads with the word “conditioned” flying all over the place.’ Maya currently hosts a show on Radio 1 every Saturday, as well as joining Scott Mills and Chris Stark on Fridays. Metro.co.uk have contacted reps for Maya Jama. BBC declined to comment when approached by us.
