Kylie Jenner’s cornrows started some racially-charged beef with Amandla Stenberg, who played Rue in “The Hunger Games.”
The 17-year-old reality star is getting heat after sharing an Instagram photo which shows her wearing her hair in cornrows, a traditionally Black style with deep cultural significance, Us Weekly reports.
The photo caught the ire of Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg, who is good friends with Jaden Smith. Smith, incidentally, used to be joined at the hip with Jenner, but hasn’t surfaced in her crew lately.
“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,” Stenberg responded in a comment.
“Mad if I don’t, Mad if I do,” Jenner replied. “Go hang w Jaden or something.”
