She captioned the photo “Bantu babe”, but was forced to remove it after commentators began pointing out that Khloe appropriated the traditionally African hairstyle.

‘I gained 60lbs during my pregnancy but have been an extra 10 lbs up for the last few years so it’s time to really get to my goal, ‘ she tweeted back in January.
Cue the hate! Khloe Kardashian got some major backlash over her hair recently, because apparently people feel really strongly about how she chooses to style herself in selfies.
The reality star shared a glimpse of one of her gruelling exercise sessions on Snapchat in June.
Even newly minted Kardashian in-law Blac Chyna has regularly accused the Kardashians of stealing elements of their style from black culture.
Kim Kardashian has opened up about body confidence after revealing she’s now just 125lbs.
Clearly cultural-based controversy is just a Kardashian/Jenner family affair.
She was likely undaunted because this is just the latest in a string of accusations of cultural appropriation, leveled at members of the Kardashian family. It’s not like she said she invented cornrows or wigs or something. But the Kardashian and Jenner sisters seem to think that this is just a cute and trendy hairstyle that both them and their stylists should capitalize on. Last year, Hunger Games actress Amandla Stenberg called out the starlet for wearing the traditional African hairstyle.
The only way Khloe Kardashian is losing any sleep is from the difficulty inherent in laying comfortably on a pillow with a head full of those tiny, twisted buns. Instead, she probably assumed that changing photos would help downplay any backlash she may receive from it. She also sparked outrage from Native American tribes when she wore a Native American headdress to North West’s “Kidchella” birthday party, according to the Hollywood Take.
