Kim Kardashian West Responds To Black Twitter Outrage Over Aaliyah Costume

Earlier this week Kim Kardashian West dressed up as Aaliyah for one of her three Halloween costumes and the outfit wasn’t taken too kindly by some folks. Well… apparently Kim got the memo because she took to her app to respond to the controversy over her dressing up as Aaliyah for Halloween:

You can see the full video on her app, but here’s what she said in the message:

Aaliyah was such an amazing singer and she will forever be a music legend. I saw online that some people thought my costume was in poor taste and I am truly sorry if that offended anyone. When I was creating the costume, I wasn’t dressing up as a race or culture but rather as a woman whom I will always admire. I play every kind of genre of music in my home and I like for my kids to be exposed to many different artists. For me, it’s always about love and respect. I loved that Kourtney was Michael Jackson for one of her costumes, and that my son was Axel Rose. We don’t see color in my home. We were paying homage to people and artists we love and respect— it’s that simple!

So, do you accept her apology or nah?
