Is Beyoncé appropriating Egyptian culture?!

By: Li Chen

Beyoncé’s new spring collection has images of herself dressed as Queen Nefertiti of ancient Egypt.

This has started a discussion on twitter about whether or not she is stealing ancient Egypt culture and making profit for herself. Some people says

Beyonce's action is cultural appropriation, while her fans respond saying this is indeed not cultural appreciation. Many other brands have done the very same thing with no backlash. Are people just being haters? What do you think?

Let us know in the comments.

All the Best,
