Twitter is Ready to Defend Amara La Negra At All Costs: See The Reactions to Her "Nutella" Skin Color Conversation With Young Hollywood
Anyone who thought they were about to come for the beautiful Amara La Negra (or her luscious 'fro) and get away with it is in for a rude awakening. The proud Afro-Latina superstar pushed through during last night's premiere of Love Hip Hop Miami with tons of sass and unapologetic confidence. Amara's personality and pride shines so bright, she instantly became a fan favorite.
That's probably why Young Hollywood's advice to Amara about switching up her signature afro had all the Love & Hip Hop fans riled up on social media. What started off as a music session quickly crashed and burned when Hollywood started questioning Amara's image. He even compared her skin color to Nutella.
Amara and Hollywood's awkward exchanged opened the Twitter floodgates about the complicated topic of colorism that exists both Latin culture and the entertainment world. Simply put: Black Twitter has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to Amara La Negra slander.
Unfortunately, it seems Young Hollywood still doesn't see the big deal about his "Nutella" comment. The music producer went on Instagram Live last night to laugh off the controversy, which Amara resposted on her page.

Clearly, the conversation will only get more heated as this season continues. However, it's great to see Amara has a troupe of supporters ready to go to bat for her.
