Coco received so much backlash that her husband even chimed in to defend her.

Fast forward to the present day and Coco has taken to social media again, to explain her new hairstyle. She says that, ‘This shouldn’t be a race thing’ and adds,

These are called the Coco swoop, the braids before Bo Derek braids, and it’s a Coco-ism. I’ve always done it. Why can’t we all rename hairstyles or braids? That’s so stupid. Why is everybody claiming something they shouldn’t?
