Fans, however, voiced their disappointment and accused the singer of cultural appropriation.

“J, please educate yourself on culture [sic] appropriation…. You shouldn’t be wearing dreads… With Love,” one fan wrote.

Another similarly said, “This is cultural appropriation… I know you can do better.”

“UMM SIR WHAT IS – ,” one fan commented.

“Didn’t you say you were educating yourself about Black culture so what is this foolery,” one person said, in reference to his social media post in June addressing the ways he’s “benefitted off Black culture.”

In June, Bieber took to social media promising to “be part of the much needed change” amid racial injustice.

“I am inspired by Black culture,” the “Peaches” singer wrote. “I have benefited off of Black culture.”

“My style, how I sing, dance, perform, and my fashion have all been influenced and inspired by Black culture,” Bieber continued. “I am committed to using my platform this day forward to learn, to speak up about racial injustice and systemic oppression, and to identify ways to be a part of much needed change.”

The singer’s latest debut of a dreadlock style isn’t the first time he’s been accused of cultural appropriation for the look.

In 2016, Bieber sported the hairstyle.

Amid backlash, he posted a video on Instagram captioned, “Being weird is fun’ if u r not weird I don’t like you.”
