Justin Bieber: Why his new hairstyle is so controversial
The 27-year-old singer is accused of cultural appropriation.
They are back. Ultra popular in the 1990s, dreadlocks are now seen as an act of cultural appropriation and look bad. Justin Bieber had already learned it the hard way in 2016 at the iHeart Radio Music Awards. Five years later, the 27-year-old singer decided to do it again and it hasn't happened at all.
On Instagram, the "Lonely" performer appeared with short braids braided by her partner Hailey Baldwin Bieber. As Page Six reports, criticism quickly flared up about this hair choice.
“Justin needs to understand why dreadlocks are considered cultural appropriation. He would have inquired, he would not have done it, "commented a user on Twitter. "To support black people and the anti-racist movement, you have to understand that you have to be consistent about what you stand for, and that means never indulging in cultural appropriation," another disappointed fan told him. . Justin Bieber has yet to address the emerging controversy.
