On Monday (Nov. 14), the “Gucci Flip Flops” rapper vented on her Instagram Story in response to being called out on social media for posting a video on Instagram where she appears a few shades darker than her normal skin tone.
In her first post, she shared a photo of the foundation she was wearing to make her face appear to be a darker hue. “Case Closed,” Bhad Bhabie wrote over the photo.
In a follow-up post she added, “Don’t ever ask me again why I don’t be on IG. I don’t make no money on here. I don’t need to be on here. I do it for my fans but y’all take it too far every time. It’s honestly sad and weird.”
Blackfishing is a term coined by journalist Wanna Thompson that describes White people altering their appearance to appear African-American. Twitter has been vocal about Bhad Bhabie’s new look. (Read More Here).
So the rapper and reality star Bhad Bhabie, otherwise known as Danielle Bregoli, has had a makeover. The artist showed off her new long blonde locks, but that isn’t what many are paying attention to. Instead, what they are paying attention to is the fact that the rapper appears to have darkened her skintone, and now she’s being accused of Blackfishing.
Blackfishing describes when people of other cultures, predominantly white women, “borrow” or “embody” elements of Black culture to such an extent that they actually appear to look Black or at least mixed-race. Some might argue that imitation is the highest form of flattery, but when an entire racial group is routinely discriminated against for the way they look, and white people cash in from that same look, it is problematic, offensive, and a yikes from me!
Many celebrities have been accused of Blackfishing, from Ariana Grande to former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson, and of course Kim Kardashian, who has been accused of the practice on multiple occasions. Many believe they do it so that they can profit from their racial “ambiguity” to market themselves to more people.
Bhad Bhabie has also gotten flack for it in the past and, now, she’s taking it one step further with her unrecognizable “new look.”
