Electric dance group Cheat Codes released their new music video featuring Demi Lovato—who cowrote the song— on Tuesday for their latest single “No Promises.”
The video has the EDM group and the “Confident” singer
rocking out in a visuals frenzy with lights, pink skies, outer space views and
futuristic fashion.
Although it’s a catchy, happy dance track, many are discontent with a certain style choice in the video: Demi’s hair.

The singer opted for a twisted look on her hair that looks
like dreads and is now being accused of cultural appropriation. Lovato was
dragged on the Internet earlier this year after sharing that she learned that
she was 1% African from a DNA test.
Kylie Jenner faced similar criticism last year when she
posted an image of her hair in cornrows. Everything, Everything and Hunger
Games star Amandla Stenberg even wrote an essay on cultural appropriation in
response saying, “ While white women are praised for altering their bodies,
plumping their lips and tanning their skin, black women are shamed although the
same features exist on them naturally.”
Marc Jacobs was also under fire for having his models strut in his Spring 2017 collection with hand-dyed dreadlocks. The New York Fashion Week show stirred major controversy erupting Jacobs to write a now-deleted response. “I respect and am inspired by people and how they look. I don’t see color or race—I see people,” wrote the designer. He later corrected his statement: ““Of course I do ‘see’ color, but I DO NOT discriminate. THAT IS A FACT!”
Lovato has not made any comments in response to the backlash
as she promotes her new athletic collection with Fabletics.
