OlderJustin Bieber Gets Called Out For Cultural Appropriation After Posting New Photos of His Hair
Justin Bieber is in hot water once again.
The 27-year-old musician is on vacation and has shared photos wearing his hair in dreads, and people are calling him out for cultural appropriation.
Many people expressed their frustration with Justin for having dreads, after releasing his latest album Justice and posting a lot about Black Lives Matter last year. He even faced backlash for his album.
See what people are saying inside…
“so @scooterbraun you and your client @justinbieber post BLM for days and talking about being an ally or educating y’all’s selves but turn around to do this foolery very performative i’m sick of y’all,” one Twitter user wrote.
“It’s not just hair. It’s cultural appropriation and it’s the second time he CHOSE to do it. He claims to love and care for black people and then does things that hurt them. It’s not just hair,” another person shared.
This isn’t the first time Justin has had dreads. In April 2016, the singer put his platinum blonde hair into dreads, and after facing backlash then, he spoke out about people’s comments.

its not just "hair". cultural appropriation is about the power dynamic. when people privilege decide to 'validate' customs, traditions, stuff holding significance that oppressed people have long been marginalized for. he's a white guy w power & privilege & he's wrong for that

you’re smarter than this. don’t let your friends ruin you my guy. we’ve been through this in 2016 on why wearing dreads isn’t okay. why do you continue to do this? lol. @justinbieber just bc hailey says it’s hot doesn’t mean it’s right. it’s black culture appropriation.

Listen @justinbieber I don’t care how long I’ve liked you, this is cultural appropriation and I don’t like it. As a black woman, this is totally offensive and disrespectful. Cut your hair or fix it, the fact that it is 2021 and people are still appropriating black people is gross

I definitely DON'T agree with #JustinBieber's dreads, because it's cultural appropriation, but y'all literally bullying him way too far. I don't blame him for not coming on here. Preaching about mental health, yet bullying him. Hypocritical clowns! Make that make sense! 🤡🤡🤡

jb needs to realize that we’re not mad bec the hair is ugly, we’re angry because it’s appropriation. he’s terrible for not knowing this already. you say you want to educate yourself so listen to what we’re telling you and cut it off and apologize. @justinbieber @scooterbraun

Just saw Justin Bieber’s story…. my guy, are you fucking serious?? He learned absolutely nothing, when it comes to cultural appropriation huh?
The way his hair is gonna fall out even more. He better shave it all of when he’s done with it

justin sweetheart you have to understand that to support black people and the anti racism movement you have to be coherent to what you preach and that means not doing cultural appropriation ever
dreadlocks do not look good on you @justinbieber
