Many compared her to former Little Mix member, Jesy Nelson. As fans of the British pop star may recall, she came under fire for blackfishing when she released her solo-debut music video, “Boyz.”

Kylie, Kim and Khloe have all been accused of blackfishing and cultural appropriation in the past.

At the beginning of 2020, Kylie shared a picture of herself from an old photoshoot wearing her platinum blonde hair in twists (a protective style in the African American community that women can legally get fired for wearing), and the backlash began to roll in
