People Magazine Credits Bjork For Blac Chyna’s Bantu Knots
People Magazine tried it Friday evening by crediting Icelandic 90s singer Bjork for Blac Chyna’s cute bantu knots. Here’s what they tweeted before Black Twitter got in that azz and forced them to delete and start over.
While the tweet is gone now, the problematic wording on the mainstream publication’s website remains the same. Basically, Bjork was hairspo for your Chy, y’all!
Nevermind the fact that bantu knots originated from the Zulu tribe and have been around since wypipo docked in Africa, kidnapped us and forced us into slavery. No, it’s all Bjork. In fact, we should just start calling them “Bjork Buns” to pay homage to the singer and her trendsetting hairstyle.
People Magazine saying Black Chyna's Bantu Knots came from Bjork in the 90s.
