Says who? Your opinion or fact?
Based on what?
Gee!
Phyno popular Nigerian musician of Igbo extraction....
IronLion are seriously an African? Does the image you present really show a light skinned African? How can a true African not know that a lot of film and the digital processes used in creating pictures often don't display brown dark brown or even black complexions in their regular daylight tones? Just because a guy doesn't have Wesley Snipe's or Michael Jordan's complexion doesn't mean they are light-skinned. I didn't even have to look twice at the picture you presented to see that the picture you presented wasn't that of a naturally light skinned African. Search Google for Phyno and most of the images you see look these. They actually are these.
The picture you display is the effect of poor lighting, poor colour registration if digital, or both. The only way a guy of his complexion could have a complexion like the one you displayed is through skin lightening treatments. He would have to seriously damage his skin if he were to attain that complexion with the off the shelf , run-of-the-mill skin lightening creams that are so popular. It takes expensive professionally administered treatments for him to safely develop a complexion like that given his natural skin tones, and he would still have UV to contend with after that.
Also take a look at the pictures in which he appears, and in virtually all of them he is the only lighter-complexioned person in them. Where are the light skinned people of both sexes in them?
PS. I just looked at some of his videos, and all I see are the usual depressing attempt to emulate and export discredited gangsta hip-hop related images to Africans who should clearly know better by now.

Light skinned people of African descent vary in skin tone according what region of the world they are living in, what season it is, and how much time they are spending outdoors. So while some photoshopping is done on these celebrities much of it is still natural variations on conditions
the brother is light skinned, use your damn eyeballs

Sure, the brother is light-skinned, and so are Robert Mugabe, Goodluck Jonathan, Nana Yaa Rawlings, Wesley Snipes, Michael Jordan, Kunta Kinte, Marvin Hagler, Fantasia, Kelly, Ledisi, P Diddy, and Linford Christie. You can add Chinamanda Adichie displayed above here to the list. Lioness if you are truly a black person, you must be seriously afflicted with complexion issues. You are so un-fudging-believable. There are times when I seriously doubt your sanity, unless it is a game you are putting on.
Now speaking of 5%, where are the others to push the figure above the quoted percentage?

Boys and Girls, please stop allowing this degenerate Albino liar to get away with making lying statements without challenge.
There is absolutely no scientific basis for that lie. Rather, it runs contrary to what we see daily between mixed race people.
On a pseudo scientific level, the Davenport skin color predictor agrees with our anecdotal data.
Let us know when you get beyond "what we see daily" and psuedoscience as a form of argumenation on genetics matters

When you both say albino, do you men albino as is generally understood, or Albino as in Mike's definition of albino? You both need to be clear about what you mean.
