Kylie Jenner is all about pushing boundaries when it comes to fashion, but she may have taken it a step too far when she posted a picture of herself with cornrows. Or at least that is what Amandla Stenberg thinks.
On Friday, Jenner was attacked on social media by the Hunger Games actress after posting the photo of her cornrows with the caption “I woke up like diss.”
Hollywood Life reported that the post angered Stenberg to the point where she aggressively commented back.
“When u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism #whitegirlsdoitbetter.”
Jenner was outraged by the comment and says that it was an unprovoked attack. “Kylie is horrified Amandla would say such things to her, especially because she should know how engrossed in African American culture Kylie is,” says an inside source.
But the drama doesn’t end there.
Jenner responded to Stenberg’s comment when she wrote, “Mad if I don’t, mad if I do…Go hang w Jaden or something.”
Jaden Smith dated Jenner and was also good friends with Stenberg. After Jenner and Smith broke up, she believes that he turned Stenberg against her.
Smith has grown closer with Stenberg over the past month. He even went to prom with her, reports The Independent.
In response, Stenberg posted her ideas about black femininity and why she thinks cornrows should not be viewed as some cool fashion style.
