Bhad Bhabie<\/strong> isn’t taking accusations that she darkened her skin lightly. <\/p>\n

The 17-year-old rapper became a topic of discussion on the internet today when she posted videos<\/a> of herself sporting quite a different look than what fans are used to typically seeing. <\/p>\n

Some went as far to say that Bhabie, otherwise known as Danielle Bregoli<\/strong>, purposefully altered her skin tone to appear as a different race.<\/p>\n

“Umm I think that foundation is a little bit too dark on your face,” one Instagram user commented, while another wrote, “Okay this is blackfishing now for sure,” referencing a term used when describing the use of makeup to appear black. <\/p>\n

The “Gucci Flip Flops” songstress rejected such claims, instead urging her critics to turn their attention to the coronavirus pandemic. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Millions of people sick, thousands dying every day and y’all worried about me getting my makeup done for a photoshoot? I’m usually the wild one but y’all need to chill and focus on what’s important right now,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

This isn’t the first time Bhabie has faced, and shot down, accusations of cultural appropriation. In a 2017 interview<\/a> with Fader<\/em>, the teen described the backlash to her public persona as “ridiculous.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“You cannot act a color,” she said at the time. “Do not tell me I’m acting black because I’m not. I’m acting urban, or whatever you want to call it. I don’t even have a name for it, I call it, ‘me.’ How I act is me. I get braids all the time, you can’t tell me I’m acting black because I braid my hair. That makes no sense whatsoever.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
