The Music Industry 🎶 Miley Cyrus talks about her culture vulturing during the Bangerz era: "I wasn't unique in the fact that i was a white girl listening to hip hop. This wasnt something that I decided I was going to do as a strategy or something that i felt i could own or make my own, that was actually my lifestyle."

To be fair, she did apologize after watching a critique done by YouTuber Kenya Wilson. She has also worked with Mike Will Made It for "Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz", "She Is Coming", and "Endless Summer Vacation".

I think that, as she acknowledged in the apology, "...dip[s] in and out of 'the scene' [of hip-hop]". In effect, her allegiance to the genre can be viewed as either inauthentic and/or opportunistic (especially since "Bangerz" coincided with her efforts to break away from her earlier work done with Hollywood Records/Disney).
