Fans Say Gwen Stefani Is ‘Just As Messy As Ever’

Some fans are saying that Gwen Stefani is “just as messy as ever.” This comes amid the news of her head-scratching interview with Allure. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, Gwen claimed she’s Japanese because she’s in love with the culture. She received criticism for her insensitive comments.

The songstress has been accused of cultural appropriation for much of her career. Most fans remember the time when she was inspired by the Harajuku culture for her 2008 pop album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Gwen defended that time in her life and fans called her out for her bizarre interview.

It was inspired by Japanese culture and her debut album. She shared that she was Japanese because she appreciates the culture.

The article mentioned her Italian-American and Irish-American descent. Gwen’s father worked for Yamaha, which required him to travel from California to the Japanese for about twenty years. Due to this connection, Gwen insists that she’s of Japanese descent.
