Everyone Is Talking About Blake Lively’s “Oakland Booty”

In case you haven’t heard, Age of Adaline’s Blake Lively latest Instagram post from Cannes has gotten everyone talking.

Whilst at the French event promoting Café Society with Woody Allen, the 28 year-old-actress shared a photo from the red carpet – from both the front and back – captioning the photo, “L.A. face with an Oakland booty.”

The line, from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back, spewed quite a mix of emotions. Some found no harm in the post, while others deemed otherwise. Lively’s critics are calling her use of the lyric disrespectful to women of color.

Check out the mixed reactions below:

However, according to E! News, Lively is, in fact, not the first celebrity to use the “Oakland booty” line.

“In 2015, Khloe Kardashian tweeted a split of herself that flaunted her curves and used the exact same caption. Katy Perry described herself on Twitter in 2012 using the rapper’s quote. And the most random, but debatably most hilarious reference goes to the little kid from Jerry Maguire, Jonathan Lipnicki, who posted a throwback and wrote, “#tbt #2006 LA face with an Oakland booty. #waterpolo #agoura #datasstho.”

Lively has not yet commented on the controversial caption (and neither has Sir Mix-A-Lot, in case you were wondering).
