Justin Bieber has caused quite the stir on social media after debuting dreadlocks, with many followers calling out the 27-year-old singer for cultural appropriation. The \u201cPeaches\u201d singer, who has been sporting a longer hairstyle for quite some time, recently decided switch up his \u2018do in favor of dreadlocks. He took to Instagram on Monday, April 26, to show off his new look, posting two separate photos. In the first post, Bieber had his dreadlocks tied back into pigtails and was wearing a fairly funky outfit consisting of high socks, red shorts, a checkered pink shirt and red sunglasses. Bieber posted his look once again later in the day, sharing a caption less, straight-faced selfie where his dreadlocks were on full display. <\/p>\n<p>The star\u2019s 171 million Instagram followers quickly took notice of the images, with many jumping into the comments section to point out that the hairstyle was a form of cultural appropriation. One fan wrote, \u201cHoney, I love you but this ain\u2019t,\u201d and another chimed in with, \u201cThis one could\u2019ve stayed in the drafts.\u201d The outrageous look even had one user asking, \u201cEverything good JB?\u201d Others were more explicit with their dissapproval. \u201cThis is cultural appropriation \u2026 I know you can do better,\u201d one person writes. Another adds: \u201cJ, please educate yourself on cultural appropriation \u2026 You shouldn\u2019t be wearing dreads.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2258_slide1.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2258_slide2.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2258_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/div>\n<hr>\n<p><ins datetime=\"2021-05-01T13:01:55+00:00\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_99678\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sbCQSt5nvtk?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_29221\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bttBWZIwqJ0?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinbieber?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by justinbieber<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bieber\u2019s getting backlash.
