She apologized for the clip according to Sis2Sis and deleted the TikTok stating it was "literally a joke" and a result of her "being dumb in the moment." In a recent TikTok she stated that she took the time to educate herself about black hairstyles.

While there were many who took it as a joke, there have been instances where other high profile public figures and influencers have been accused of cultural appropriation, like when Kim Kardashian wore a Fulani hairstyle on the red carpet and then referred to them as "Bo Derek Braids."

And if you're wondering why so many people seem to take cultural appropriation so seriously, it could be because there were some pretty harsh laws once in effect in the Spanish American provinces of Louisiana and Florida designed to keep people separated by their genders and races.

These Tignon laws straight up forbade certain wigs, clothes, and hats from being worn by particular members of society so they wouldn't be allowed to participate in what was considered the upper echelons of fashion. Black and Brown women who were free, for example, were forced to cover their hair up when outdoors. Pop Sugar actually put together a fascinating read on the subject that you can check out here.

As for the Sticky Bangz TikToker, what do you think about her apology? Do you think she's just guilty of taking a joke a little too far? Or was she caught pretending like she came up with the idea of styling baby hairs?
