When you're closely related to the Kardashians, it seems that there is no way for you to have fun with the way you look without everyone reacting about it. Take Kylie Jenner for instance. She is only 17-years-old, but already, she has been under fire for trying to experiment on her look, from rumors about lip injections to breast enhancements speculations to... Blackface?

According to Hollywod Life, Kylie recently posted an edgy new photo on her Instagram account, where she had pink hair, sparkling with glitter, and a dramatically darker skin tone. Some fans didn't like it, however, and some were even offended by her glowing, futuristic look! With her photo captioned, "What I wish I looked like all the time," her fans buzzed insults at the teenager.

Here are some of them:

@jesuspinkman: Kylie Jenner really wants to be black so bad!!!!!!!! First the lips then the dreads now the skin too!!!

@czass: KYLIE JENNER WANTS TO BE BLACK SO BAD SHE RESORTED TO BLACK FACE I I I I

@byyunbaekhyun: Kylie Jenner literally got away with getting big lips but now she bluntly did black face? She's in the ground now

Even celebrities had something to say about Kylie's transformation, with Karrueche Tran taking it to Twitter by posting, "The point is.. Nobody needs to wish they look like anything.. We are all individually beautiful in our own way. Keep that sh-t positive."

Zendaya, who initially liked the photo, also went against it when the blackface controversy picked up, and said to her followers on the microblogging site, "At first, I saw more of an avatar look but thank y'all for keepin me on point....we all gotta stay aware of what image we project #lessons."

After a while, Kylie defended herself on Twitter, saying in a few tweets, "The photographer used a black light & neon lights for those photos. Yes, In another world I wish I could have pink hair & blue eyes & covered in sparkles. But in this world I'm happy w the way God created me. Happy Easter everybody"

However, despite her seemingly nonchalant way of responding about the backlash, Hollywood Life reported in a separate article that Kylie was extremely upset by the way people took a stab at her for the photo. A source shared, "Kylie's Easter has been ruined. She's crying and really upset that people think she was being racist. Khloe has been really supportive, but Kim not so much."

What do you think about the controversy that this issue has sparked? Is Kylie trying to be black, or is she just having fun, the way most teenagers do?
