Amandla Stenberg has blasted Kylie Jenner for wearing cornrows.

The 16-year-old actress accused the 17-year-old reality TV star of carrying out racial appropration by showing off her new hairstyle in a photo on Instagram, captioned "I woke up like disss (sic)".

Stenberg commented: "when u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism #whitegirlsdoitbetter (sic)".

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star later responded to the comment made by the Hunger Games star - who took Jenner's longtime pal and once rumoured boyfriend Jaden Smith to prom in May.

Kylie replied: "@amandlastenberg Mad if I don't, Mad if I do.... Go hang w Jaden or something." (sic)

While Stenberg doesn't approve of Jenner's hair choices, the selfie queen announced she's launching a beauty website earlier this week.

Jenner took to Instagram to announce she was going to be sharing all her "beauty secrets" on KylieJenner.com, which will most likely include how to get her famous pout, as well as allow users to learn how to do cornrows.

Along with a selfie, which showed off her incredibly contoured features, Jenner shared:"can't wait to release all my beauty secrets on KylieJenner.com coming soon. Love this bright look by @makeupbyariel (sic)".
