This week during designer Philipp Plein's New York Fashion Week afterparty rapper Nicki Minaj bashed high end designers for getting rich off African American culture while excluding African Americans from their shows...
During her set Nicki told the crowd,
“Thank you Philipp Plein for including our culture. Designers get really big and really rich off of our culture, and then you don’t see a motherfucker that look anything like us in the front row half the time. So let’s make some noise for Philipp Plein tonight.”Ironically, this year fashion critic Bevy Smith read Plein to pieces for being one of the biggest cultural appropriators around.
