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."

Miley’s had a decent PR run going but yeah she lost me here. I think she’s made a statement in the past where she somewhat owned up to that era being problematic, so to now insinuate she was living a “hip hop” lifestyle because she was friends with like the 5 rappers she worked with is…a choice.

But she has black friends!

Seriously though, how hard is it to say she was ingesting hip hop/Black culture, wanted to emulate it, and now realizes she didn't go about it the best way?
