Demi Lovato is currently promoting her brand new music video, but it's not her new tunes that have people talking.

The former Disney starlet released the video for her new song Cheat Codes, and some have taken issue with her choice of hairstyle in the scenes.

The singer opted for twisty dreadlocks to compliment her outfits, and is being called out for cultural appropriation because of it. 

Twitter users have been debating the hairstyle online, and many have negative feelings towards her use of the look.

'Nothing says hot like cultural appropriation!!' reads one Instagram comment. 

'Respect cultures, don't appropriate them!'

'I don't understand why this is still happening tbh,' a tweeter added.

The singer has yet to respond to the criticism of her look.
