A Nigerian artist (@Duro_Arts on Twitter) shared a couple of paintings that have caused quite the frenzy and uproar on social media.

The paintings have been called offensive as they depict black women in some unflattering positions.

The artist has been unapologetic about the paintings after receiving a lot of backlash. He tweeted:
