Dice Ailes Criticized For Using Image Of Late South African, Sarah Baartman For His Music Artwork
Nigerian singer, Dice Ailes has been accused of being ‘ignorant’ of history after he used the picture of late Sarah Baartman for the artwork of his latest single titled ‘Ginika’.
Late Sarah Baartman was a South African who was paraded by the colonial Europeans because of her large buttocks. She was kept in a cage and was turned to attraction for people in Europe.
Meanwhile, Dice Ailes song is in no way a praise or tribute to the late Sarah Baartman hence the backlash.
See some reactions to the singer’s music poster;
Dice Ailes is a good singer, no doubt.
However, image used as cover art for his Ginika single is of a SA woman – Sara Baartman who, as a slave, was raped for experiment & nakedly displayed in animal circus.
After she died, her brain & genitalia were on display in a ParisMuseum. pic.twitter.com/W0OH1EHnAB

Meanwhile, some think this is a publicity strategy;
Lol this whole Dice Ailes shit is media strategy.
Dude had posted the Sarah Baartman artwork for his new single since 2days back, no backlash then.
Fast forward today, every influencer suddenly knows who Sarah is and is schooling him.
