Artist Choo Hao Ren or better known as Haoren has defended using blackface in a music video advertisement that he's featured in.

Replying to rising concerns about how inappropriate it was to paint the main actresses face brown and enforce existing stigmas of how black or tanned skin is ugly and white is beautiful, Haoren has defended the whole thing.

"Blackface’ is people who do makeup to imitate black people in (the United States) and that offended them.

“My artwork is imitating people who got tanned by the sun in Malaysia and this is a true story of my girlfriend Gladish who used to walk to school and become tanned.

“I hope you all can listen to the lyrics deeply and the story of the music video in detail to understand in the right way,” wrote Haoren in his Instagram comments section.
