Dencia is a Cameroonaian/Nigerian singer, known for her hit "Beri Beri." She's more infamously known for her skin-whitening cream called "Whitenicious." She told Ebony in an interview that the cream was intended to be used on minor spots and blemishes, though critics say the name implies that white skin is preferable to black skin.
