Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Model, Giannina Antonette Oteto, called out Childish Gambino after he exploited black women by not paying full payment for “Awaken, My Love!” album cover.
The cape model from the album “Awaken, My Love!” by Donald Glover/Childish Gambino denounces that she and other black women from being exploited, do not receive full payment for their work, as a white woman who also works does not projeto receive everything on her part.” It also revealed that it has been ignored by the artist and his lawyers.
“It’s incredible to be able to secure an album that’s not on my plate, celebrating next to my mother, my best friend, my greatest torcedora! This album is difficult to remember for different reasons and because of years and resentments. We discovered that I was scouted, along with a makeup artist and a stylist, all black women. Despite promises of additional payments, only a white woman is involved in the person she receives. After years of lies, silence and legal complications, it’s an emotional situation with this. “My advocates are ignored by the artist and his team.”
“Being able to hold an album that I’m on the cover of,” Giannina Oteto captioned a (seemingly since-deleted) picture of her holding a vinyl pressing of Childish Gambino’s album. “And having my bestie mom next to me to celebrate! My number 1 cheerleader! This album has been so hard for me to celebrate for many reasons, and for years I resented it even. It put me through a lot but finally being able to celebrate it means a lot! Update: I resented it because myself, the makeup artist, and stylist (all black women) were [taken] advantage of and lied to.
