You may recall that this isn’t the first time that she has raised questions regarding cultural appropriation. Back in December 2019, she caught major heat online after she posted a photo of herself wearing box braids.
In response to the backlash, she decided to shade black women for their hair choices instead of trying to understand where the criticism was coming from.
She wrote the following at the time:
“To all the black females that are saying my hair [ain’t] meant for box Braids, guess the f**k what, y’all hair [ain’t] meant to be straight but y’all glue whole wigs on to your heads and sew Brazilian/Indian/Peruvian hair which [isn’t anything] like your natural hair texture at all.”
We’re sure this latest situation is another that will likely spark an intense debate for days to come.
Roommates, what are your thoughts on this?
