Justin Bieber has come to the defense of his pal Kylie Jenner after Amandla Stenberg took aim at the reality TV star for her cornrow hairstyle. Kim Kardashian’s younger half-sister took to Instagram.com on Saturday to post a photo of herself with her freshly braided hair, adding the caption, “I woke up like disss.” Although the photo garnered more than one million ‘likes,’ “The Hunger Games” star Stenberg called out Jenner’s appearance and wrote, “When u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism.” Now Bieber is wading into the controversy, writing, “Guys leave her alone, were all trying to figure it out and she happens to be under a microscope! I’m the first to know this. But saying she’s being racist because she wants her hair in braids is ridiculous. lets focus on the bigger picture and instead of fighting over something stupid lets do something about equality, but it doesn’t start here blasting a 17 year old kid for wearing braids smh.”
