“justin sweetheart you have to understand that to support black people and the anti racism movement you have to be coherent to what you preach and that means not doing cultural appropriation ever dreadlocks do not look good on you @justinbieber. (sic)” read another comment.

Justin was previously met with a backlash when he wore dreadlocks in 2016, but that didn’t put him off sharing a number of snaps on his channels as he relaxed in the sun with wife Hailey.
