Kim Kardashian’s Photo Draws Criticism After Being Used To Promote African Hairstyle

Kim Kardashian is once again under fire, albeit not directly, for cultural appropriation. The controversy involves an image of “Keeping Up With The Kardashian” alum with Fulani braids.

All Hip Hop reported that a hair salon in Brussels used an image of Kim without her permission in a bid to promote “African Hair Style” at one of their events in the Belgium capital.

The issue was brought to light when Diet Prada posted the image reportedly taken from the event’s site on their Instagram account. The post drew criticism and condemnation from many on social media.

They captioned the post, “Live from Rue Brabant in Brussels,” followed by #BlackHistoryMonth hashtag. They also included her with other Black celebrities who have been blackfished or lightened in pop culture.

Kim was recently called out for darkening her skin in new photo shoot for Vogue. This all started after the outlet posted photos from Kim’s photoshoot on Wednesday.
