Well. The Kardashians wouldn’t be the Kardashians without the recurring accusations of cultural appropriation.

The latest instance? Khloe Kardashian decided to wear Bantu knots in a recent Instagram post. A protective hairstyle that originated in Africa, Bantu knots are created by twisting or braiding hair into small sections and then wrapping each section around itself to form a knot.

Bantu knots can be worn for any occasion and can be a great way to protect your hair from heat, damage, and styling.

The 32-year-old reality TV personality sported a black Oakland Raiders t-shirt, a pair of $1,890 Givenchy wedge leather boots, and a black “Koko” choker with the controversial ‘do.

The alleged nose job recipient called herself a “bantu babe” in the post’s original caption but later deleted it after getting slammed by internet commenters.

However, that didn’t stop the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star from going out in public, still wearing the Bantu knots.

If Koko didn’t get the attention she wanted with the hairstyle, she got it with her loud camo-on-camo ensemble.

She paired an oversized camo bomber jacket with a camo-print shirt tied around the waist and finished her look with black suede thigh-high boots.

Unfortunately, gorgeous shoes had to be dragged into this mess. Khloe’s pair in the first picture seems to be her trusty old Givenchy wedge boots.

The second pair looks like the Gianvito Rossi suede thigh-high boots also previously spotted on Alessandra Ambrosio and Kendall Jenner.
