Is
Justin
Bieber's
new
dreadlocks
attracting
more
criticism
than
admiration?
Yesterday,
on
the
sets
of
iHeartRadio
Music
Awards,
JB
performed
a
couple
of
songs
and
the
fans
went
all
nuts
when
he
invited
one
of
his
female
fans
to
dance
along
with
him.
Post
the
ceremony,
Justin
Bieber
was
criticised
on
social
media
for
his
dreadlocks.
His
fans
criticised
him
of
cultural
appropriation
and
was
reminded
that
dreadlocks
are
more
than
just
a
stereotype
of
the
black
culture.

One
of
his
fans
wrote
on
his
social
media
page
that,
"People
are
annoyed
cause
when
black
people
wear
this
style
they
are
stereotyped
as
druggies
and
are
"unkempt" look
at
Zendaya
for
example.
She
had
fake
dreads
and
she
was
stereotyped."
Many
fans
were
furious,
some
made
it
look
funny
and
some
adored
his
new
hairstyle,
but
most
of
them
accused
him
of
culture
appropriation.
Here
are
some
of
the
fans'
reactions
to
his
new
hairstyle:
A
JB
fan
tweeted
'Justin
Bieber
got
dreads.
There's
your
(unwanted)
daily
dose
of
cultural
appropriation.'
'Dreadlocks
are
cultural
appropriation.
we've
taught
u
this
before.
Your
hair
is
fine
as
it
was.'
another
fan
added.
'Just
started
liking
Justin
Bieber,
giving
him
the
benefit
of
the
doubt,
then
he
goes
and
gets
dreads',
a
fan
wrote
on
her
Twitter
page.
'justin
bieber's
dreads

like

ramen
noodles

(sic)',
another
fan
tweeted.

their
fans,

Jenner,

etc,
