DR MUSIC Issues Apology for BLACKSWAN Sriya's Controversial Cornrow Hairstyle at 'The Show' Performance

Posted by missbaekim50 pts Thursday, June 1, 2023

BLACKSWAN's Sriya recently came under scrutiny following her appearance on 'The Show' on May 30 for her choice of hairstyle.


Sriya, a member of the multicultural group BLACKSWAN, was seen sporting Cornrows. This hairstyle is traditionally characterized by tight, upward braids lying close to the scalp, often styled in straight rows or elaborate designs. With a rich and storied history, Cornrows are more than just a hairstyle in many cultures; they signify a deep cultural heritage and are cherished for their neat aesthetics and their beneficial role in natural hair preservation.



However, this adoption of the hairstyle has raised concerns of cultural appropriation among fans who expressed their discontent and urged both Sriya and her agency to address the situation:

DR MUSIC issued an apology after the controversy.


Additionally, Sriya herself apologized.

    This is not an issue among most people. I think when you spend too much time online it becomes an issue. We should all love and embrace each other’s culture.

    I can care less as long as you’re not mocking or a racist. Do as you please.
