Jamaican Dancehall Artist Bounty Killer Defends Gwen Stefani Wearing Locs: "Jamaican Girls Would Rather Wear Brazilian Weaves Than Dreadlocks"

[MoneyTron]

Passes the logic test.

He had to rhyme his response

@FrontoBama the breh name is John Spence

not to say that there isnt a huge element of black erasure with regards to rock music...

but its also just as possible that John Spence did his time with the band and contributed....then moved on. It happens all the time in the music industry.

I mean, its not like alll their hits were written, composed, and performed by Spence in secret, without him being paid a dime. Or its not like the band never acknowledges him or his contribution. People gotta stop with these outrage laden takes that lack nuance,

EDIT: jUSt saw the posts that he died before they ever even performed AND No Doubt had a tribute song for him

Gwen been doing reggae





This has been officially the "cry baby era"

I'm not gonna complain because no doubt was always looked at as a Ska band, but she does need to chill because I remember when her ass was on that Japanese wave back in 04 and 05

A thread about a PAWG wearing dreadlocks turning into a diaspora battle is the least surprising thing to happen on the Coli this weekend.

Oh yes how could I forget the pièce de résistance: an unsubstantiated "cac" accusation.

 

[MoveForward]

Is he wrong? No… Would he date a black woman with natural locs though? Probably not

 

[Bigblackted4]

He’s not wrong I’m watching the world track meets and all of the Jamaican girls are wearing colorful long ass weaves

 

[Nkrumah Was Right]

Cultural appropriation is definitely real, but this always been a glass house argument.

I don’t see black people in the West rejecting Western fashion norms

Black Americans set the fashion trends, i cant speak for the others of african descent in other places

i assume by your username you some african, who thinks we should be wearing some dashikis or ABIDE BY African fashion norms? huh

If you want, you can dress like a Westerner.

Why are you so vexed by me pointing this out?
