Mariah Carey proudly posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a curve-hugging yellow “bra dress” while she prepped for a performance in Lagos, Nigeria on Saturday, Dec. 14, 2013. But little did she know the appearance would spark controversy about her questionable morals for performing in such a corrupt nation... Do you think she should have turned the gig down?
Looking as divalicious as ever, Mariah Carey posed in a skin-tight canary-yellow gown for Access Bank’s Christmas party, which also served as a send off for the company's managing director Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede.
However her brief visit to Nigeria has caused outrage among some, suggesting that the mother-of-two is wrongly supporting the “hub of human trafficking.”
The star was scrutinised by RadarOnline.com, who accused the 'Honey' singer of wrongly accepting a pay check from the African country amid period of crisis.
RadarOnline.com said: “Ironically given that she was performing for bankers, it seems Carey wasn’t aware Nigeria is well-known as the center of the world’s email financial crimes! Nigeria is even part of the name as in ‘Nigerian 411 Scams’”.
Mariah, along with other A-list divas (including Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez) have all performed in countries known for “terror, death and fraud” which some have said blurs the harsh realities of these countries and covers up the human rights issues that go on there.
I didn't even know she was going to Nigeria until she was there. And I don't know if I disapprove more of her actually performing there if in fact that is the case, or what she actually wore while performing.
