Demi Lovato recently released a new music video for her single "No Promises" with electric dance group Cheat Codes, but while some people were loving the futuristic video, others were quick to call out her hairstyle. Demi's hair was styled in twists, similar to dreadlocks, and now, she's been accused of culturally appropriating the style.
Twitter users have unleashed their thoughts — some slamming Demi's look and others defending the singer, explaining that her hair is simply twisted. Check out some of the reaction tweets below.
Didn't Demi Lovato get the memo about dreadlocks? I don't understand why this is still happening tbh.
