Amara La Negra Visits 'The Breakfast Club,' Talks Colorism, L&HH Miami, More

Ever since being introduced to the American market on the premiere episode of "Love & Hip-Hop: Miami," Afro-Latina singer/rapper Amara La Negra has been the subject of convo where it applies to colorism and the industry at large. 

The artist, who wears her natural hair in an afro, is breaking down barriers of what it means to be Latina. This morning (Jan. 22), he sat down with Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club with co-hosts Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Angela Yee.

La Negra explained, “If you’re Latina, you have to look like J.Lo, Sofia Vergara, Shakira, etc., but when you look like me it’s, ‘You don’t look Latina enough,'” she explained. “Why aren’t we on magazines? Why aren’t we on movies? It bothers me. I don’t think you should change the way you look to succeed. It’s my place to let people know, ‘Hey, you are beautiful.'”

However, her words seemed to fall on def ears between Envy and Charlamagne. “I don’t even see that in Hollywood,” Charlamagne said. “I think times have changed a lot. Are you sure it’s not in your mind?” 

She also talked about plaguing rumors, movie roles, her clothing line, and more.
