"I'm about to crush this iPhone 6 and just send smoke signals," wrote an angry Bien Aime Baraza.

Saudi Sol's lead vocalist was ranting on Facebook after finding out that the new iPhone 7 advert on YouTube did not feature a black model.

This was more so considering that "The titanium chips used in the iPhone's are mined in war torn Congo," he added.

Read the entire rant below;

We are not sure if he did crush his own iPhone to pieces. However, his followers on Instagram weighed in on his post.

Adding, "I think us africans just don't realize how much we are worth. So we let them have it. Or we burn us ourselves. See Nigeria and their oil. See Africa politics."

Bien responded, "Not particularly and you do have a point. But my point is just how Africa always gets the shortest end of the stick. Well then, I guess we're on the same page. There is never enough we can say or do to emancipate our people."
