Justin Bieber was on vacation with his wife Hailey Bieber and came back with a souvenir we all just wish he left behind: dreadlocks.
Five years after being accused of cultural appropriation for sporting dreadlocks, 27-year-old Bieber brought back the traditionally Black hairstyle.
Once again, social media is ripping into the Bieb’s decision to sport dreads, as Black people have long faced discrimination for wearing the style — as well as braids, cornrows and afros.
Under this Instagram post, one person commented, “this is not it justin.”
Another wrote, “this is cultural appropriation… I know you can do better,” while a third chimed in with, “J, please educate yourself on culture appropriation…. You shouldn’t be wearing dreads… With love.”
Twitter had more to say:
