Amber Rose’s weird flex on her latest Instagram post where she is seen with pop icon Mariah Carey had fans calling her out for being a 'colorist'.  

The beautiful picture had a very bizarre caption that didn’t sit well with her fans: “When you’re both light skinned, bright skinned multiracial goddesses but one is talented and the other one is a h**. @mariahcarey Love you MiMi! Last night was Amazing! [sic]”

The picture showed Amber sporting an orange Playboy tee and jeans paired with a silver choker necklace and dark sunglasses. While Mariah donned a stunning bejeweled black jumpsuit and accessorized it with massive hoop earrings.

While fans really enjoyed seeing these two powerful females together in one frame, they felt that Amber’s gloating about being "light-skinned" and “bright-skinned” was totally unnecessary.

One disappointed fan slammed the supermodel’s post by pointing out that her caption came across as colorist: “This caption screams colorism.” Another fan shared, “Wtf was that amber rose caption?? Please remove Mariah Carey from that MESS. [sic]”

Another follower questioned Amber’s choice of words saying: "Why not just say 2 beautiful women ?"

"#AmberRose is so colorstruck. As tragically mulatto Mariah Carey is, she never boasted about being ‘light skinned and bright skinned’ Amber," an unhappy fan wrote.

Aside from her controversial Instagram post, Amber has lately been in news for her forehead tattoos. The supermodel got the names of her sons inked on her forehead. “Bash” and “Slash” can be seen written on her forehead in beautiful cursive writing. “Slash” is dedicated to her newborn son Slash Electric, who she shares with her boyfriend Alexander Edwards, and “Bash” is for her older son Sebastian Taylor Thomaz, from her marriage to ex-husband Wiz Khalifa.
