Former MLB star Sammy Sosa has admitted years ago that he chooses to bleach his skin, but if you think he cares about the public's opinion, think again.

In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, he made it very clear, he gives zero f*cks about what haters have to say.

“Look at what I am today,” Sosa told Sports Illustrated in their newest issue. “This is my life, and I don’t take garbage from nobody. I do whatever I want.”

Couldn't get any clearer than that!

ICYMI: The 49-year-old former athlete shared with the world in 2009 that he uses European cream to soften his skin, but the side effect is that the cream also lightens it.

“It’s a bleaching cream that I apply before going to bed and whitens my skin some,” Sosa told Univision. “It’s a cream that I have, that I use to soften [my skin], but has bleached me some. I’m not a racist, I live my life happily.”

SMH: We wonder what T.I. thinks about his latest comments. Last year, the Atlanta rapper clearly was not into Sammy’s transformation, suggesting it was all due to “self-hate.”
