Fans are furious with the star! - by Abi Moustafa

Kim Kardashian has angered fans online – via multiple mediums – as she's posted a number of photos donning braids, which many of her followers have claimed are bordering on "cultural appropriation."

In the snaps, Kardashian is wearing her blonde strands in two braids.

One Twitter user revealed that Kardashian is "100% out here trolling black women."

While another informed the star: "They are called Fulani braids or some may even say cornrows. You could of called them either one but you called them "Bo derek" giving credit to a white woman for a black style knowing you already catch heat for culture vulturing."

"A classic example of cultural appropriation @KimKardashian. Don't have a problem with you wearing any hairstyle you choose, but please do shut your idiotic mouth about the origin of braids," one more wrote.
