Noah Cyrus uses a racial slur while defending Harry Styles
he wears this dress better than any of u na*py a*s heau*z.
As a result, Noah Cyrus faced a lot of backlash for using a racially sensitive word “nappy,” which historically referred to natural black hair textures. Immediately, Cyrus got a lot of stick for using the word. A Twitter user wrote in a long thread, saying:
you yt ppl need to stop using words you hear black ppl say……. y’all don’t even be knowing the meaning y’all be saying it just to look cool it’s aggy
I am mortified that i used a term without knowing the context and history, but I know now and i am horrified and truly sorry. I will never use it again. Thank you for educating me. I in no way meant to offend anyone. I am so sorry.
Any one of woke liberals care to explain to me how Noah Cyrus calling me a “na*py a*s h*e” is not racist? I’m all ears.You guys love cancel culture. Miley Cyrus come get your sister!

Other celebrities also rush in to defend Harry Styles
Apart from Noah Cyrus, many other stars also rushed into Harry Style’s defense. Logan Paul said in his podcast:
What is ‘manly’ to you? What does it mean? Is manly being comfortable in your own skin and being comfortable with who you are, regardless of what you’re wearing?
Zach Braff also defended Harry Styles, saying:
Our whole lives boys and men are told we need to be manly. Life is short. Be whatever the f–k you want to be.
Finally, his mother Anne Twist also supported his dear son. While talking on the show Lorraine, she said:
I think maybe I had something to do with it. I was always a big fan of doing fancy dress with them when they were smaller, which [Gemma] hated, but Harry always embraced.
Both Noah Cyrus and Harry Styles have been nominated for the 2021 Grammys as well.
