After saying, 'I'm Japanese and I didn't know it' about her response to Harajuku culture in an interview this week, Gwen Stefani sparked backlash.
"I said, 'My God, I'm Japanese and I didn't know it,'" Stefani told Allure in an interview published this week about how she reacted to visitingarea and witnessing its fashion counterculture when asked about decades' old accusations of cultural appropriation.
Stefani called herself a"super fan" in the interview published Tuesday. She went on to explain,"If [people are] going to criticize me for being a fan of something beautiful and sharing that, then I just think that doesn't feel right.
"Wow what you guys try to do to sell your magazines all I can see from Gwen is that she really loves the Japanese culture just like she likes my Mexican culture," another said.
