This is fact; Kylie Jenner is another example). Nicki, Azealia, and many other black celebs are fed up of having their culture exploited by white celeritiee so they're understandably frustrated and gonna come out with these tweets. Focus on WHY they're saying these things - they're saying white people have no culture because they feel black culture is being exploited and stolen to make up for it. It's not because they're racist it's because they're FED UP. The fact that people will RUN to the opportunity to call out black celebs for 'racism' but didn't bat an eyelid when white celebs like Miley were donning dreadlocks, whilst black celeb Zendaya was slated for it, says a lot really. It just proves that there is solid basis to what Azealia and Nicki are fighting for, and indicates that a lot of people lack an integral level of education and empathy.

People love to ignore the overall message that black people try to convey.
