Check out Estelle’s new video for “Freak” Feat. Kardinal Offishall. The video is sparking some controversy because Estelle uses black paint to cover her body and face:

“I think they need to wait to see the clip. I could defend myself, but it’s just silly,” she responded to MTV about the criticism. “I’m black, so how do I do blackface? Missy [Elliott] did the same thing [with her video]. She’s a B***h. I refuse to defend it, I didn’t put any white ring around my mouth – never that.”
