The singer was accused of cultural appropriation when fans spotted her sporting dreadlocks in the No Promises video with Cheat Codes. Viewers immediately questioned her use of the hairstyle considering there is always a discord when white or non-black people sport them.
Twitter went in:
Not sure how I’m feeling about Demi with dreads in the no promises music video ├░┼╕┬ñΓÇ¥├░┼╕Γäó╦å

Oh look, Demi Lovato is wearing dreadlocks and nobody is calling her out for it. What a surprise.

And now Demi herself has addressed the controversy. But if you thought an apology was involved, you’re so, so wrong.
She tweeted:
They were twists not dreads. ├░┼╕ΓäóΓÇ₧ #relax

Btw they looked fucking rad anyway 😎

Then she changed the subject to her appearance on Jimmy Fallon:
Who’s ready for Fallon tonight?!

I know what I want my first single to be…. ├░┼╕╦£┬Å
— Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) May 22, 2017
Ironically it’s for my haters ├░┼╕╦£┬¥

Hmm, pulling the “haters” card is bound to garner some sympathy. But is it really hating when people are just pointing out that you may have done something wrong?
Well, whatever. The 24-year-old is clearly unbothered since she gave the most condescending response ever.
Do YOU think Demi was out of line???
