Desis Slam posted for claiming Kim Kardashian wore ‘trendy’ nose rings
Kim Kardashian has often been criticized for her cultural appropriation. She angered Desis in 2020 after wearing gold bangles and a maang tika without any mention of the cultural roots of these ornaments. Previously, she was accused of appropriating Japanese culture and black hairstyles. Last year, things heated up on social media after she wore a pair of ‘Om’ earrings. Earlier this year, she and daughter North West wore Desi-style nose rings nath at Paris Fashion Week.
Now pop singer Lizzo has worn a similar nose ring to the VMAs, and one publication has attributed the “trend” to Kim Kardashian. “Lizzo is following the trend set by Kim Kardashian and daughter North West,” the post wrote. Desis widely criticized this decision. Although the post mentions that nose rings have been a tradition in India for centuries, they state that the “trend” was set by Kardashian sparked Desis on Twitter.

I think people need to understand that the problem here is not Lizzo but the fact that the Daily Mail said it’s a “trend set by Kim Kardashian” because she didn’t do anything like that. https://t.co/Wqz7qIyS5R

Some of you need to stop with this shit like K*m and his daughter didn’t invent this “trend” it’s a traditional accessory worn by Indian women not a fashion statement created by a reality TV star and her child https://t.co/qi5fpdmUX0

when desis wears nose rings/studs it’s uncivilized and unprofessional but when they do it’s a trend that can’t top the maker https://t.co/2S7S0ucixB

South Asian women have been wearing the nose ring for centuries, and I’m pretty sure African women have too, but no it’s Kim (don’t know what to make of Lizzo in this case) who is apparently trend setters. Well done, Daily Mail! https://t.co/E0kEoyxqVg

Most were unsure where Lizzo fit into the conversation, as nose rings were also worn by some African tribes. Most of the social media anger was directed at the post for implying that the “trend” was set by Kardashian and her daughter.
