The Most-Talked Cornrows
The Kardashian-Jenner’s are no strangers to scandals and controversies, much of it can be attributed to the lack of their cultural sensitivity. While the older Kardashian siblings have Armenian heritage, the younger ones are white. This may not seem significant at first glance but it becomes apparent when they make insensitive choices in their hairstyle and fashion.
Kendall Jenner was seen sporting cornrows after a trip to Jamaica and people were quick to point out that it was not appropriate for her. Cornrows are meant for Afro-textured hair. Since she was seen unapologetically flaunting the hairstyle, people called her out for cultural appropriation.
Guess what, she didn’t care! Sorry Kendall but move along.
Pregnancy Under Wraps For The Youngest Kardashian-Jenner
In a surprising move, Kylie Jenner, known for her family’s penchant for sharing every aspect of their lives, took different approach. Kylie was pregnant with her daughter Stormi and instead of flaunting her pregnancy like the rest of the Kardashian-Jenners, Kylie chose to keep it a secret from the world. She hid herself from the world for the entirety of 2017 and 2018 in the confines of her luxurious mansion.
The public speculated and wondered about her mysterious disappearance. The truth was only revealed when Kylie released a video one week after Stormi’s birth. Kylie revealed that her secluded time during pregnancy helped her prepare for the lockdown.
Must say, that was a bold move indeed!
