Cardi appeared to hint at the criticism over Jenner's appearance in a tweet on Thursday. "I wanna say thank you to every woman that was apart (sic) of my video," the rapper wrote. "The fact that you made time in your schedules means alot (sic) to me! It was so important to me to include different women, that are different races and come from different backgrounds but are so powerful and influential."

Jenner, along with other members of the Kardashian-Jenner family, has long been accused of appropriated black culture. As recently as January, she posted an older photo of herself wearing platinum cornrows, which she ended up deleting after facing a backlash. Her big sisters Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian have also been accused of cultural appropriation in the past.

In June 2015, Kim was criticized when she appeared with a darker complexion in a photoshoot for her makeup line. She blamed the darker look on coloration issues with contrast and that she was tan when the pictures were taken. "I would obviously never want to offend anyone," she said. "I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off. But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it."

prevnextI enjoyed the WAP video. Bright and colorful and wholesome. Educational. But why the Kylie Jenner interlude? No one asked for that.
