*Rapper Bhad Bhabie has responded to accusations of cultural appropriation for wearing box braids.
The backlash kicked off when she debuted her new hairstyle on social media and several users were left feeling some way about it. On Tuesday, Bhabie took to Instagram and fired back at “black females” who took objection to her braids.
“To all the black females that are saying my hair [ain’t] meant for box Braids guess the f*ck what y’all hair [ain’t] meant to be straight,” she wrote. “But y’all glue whole wigs on to your heads and sew brazilian/Indian/ Peruvian hair which is anything like y’all real hair texture.”

#BhadBhabie has a message for people talking about her braids ?? (SWIPE)
“Bhad Bhabie gets braids, and she gets praised by some… However, black women have been called unprofessional and all types of stereotypes for wearing box braids That’s part of the reason why some people are upset..,” wrote Twitter user @_cloutmya, via Complex.
Another commented, “Black women get dragged for wearing fake hair and dragged for wearing their real hair. Why is it trendy and cute when a white girl wear box braids but ratchet when black girls do?? Bhad bhabie was not spitting facts.”
Bhad Bhabie responded by noting that she didn’t “trash black women for wearing braids,” therefore she’s not appropriating black culture by rocking box braids.
“I completely agree that it would b out of line and cultural appropriation if I was trashing black girls for wearing braids them getting them but that’s not the situation at all so leave me tf alone or imma start getting real disrespectful,” Bhad Bhabie replied to critics. Adding, “I love the way I look plus your man agrees,” she wrote. “we all know I look fine asf in any hairstyle I do from any culture because I’m that bitch. I hope you bald-headed hoes stay up all night thinking about this.”
As you can probably imagine, Black Twitter is having none of her shenanigans with racial undertones.
Twitter user @withlovecameryn wrote: “she tried to sneak diss us by saying we wear wigs… bitch we aren’t the only race of women who wears wigs. @BhadBhabie and your braids gone make your hair fall out that’s not talking shit that’s the truth. Now when you take them out and you gotta wear wigs remember wtf you said.”
@KookieAwkward commented, “BhadBhabie never should have said anything because now she just poured fuel to the fire now she’s calling BLACK WOMEN “BALD HEADED HOES” most people wasn’t even mad at her wearing that. Now she got the black community like cash me outside so i can pull out them braids SMH.”
Bhabie fired back by claiming her comments weren’t directed at “ALL black women,” and that Black women weren’t the target of her “bald headed” statement.
In an attempt to bring an end to the discussion, Bhad Bhabie explained in a follow-up post that she is “too real” for “fame.”
“I’mma stay in Florida and live my real life. F*ck this Hollywood fame sh*t,” she added — see below.
