Kim Kardashian Goes On Twitter Rant To Explain How She DIDN'T Shade Beauty Vlogger Jackie Aina!
Kim Kardashian West’s attempt at launching a beauty line has been met with controversy at almost every turn!
As we previously reported, the KUWTK star was SLAMMED for seemingly posing in blackface for promo photos for her new cream contour and highlighter set. While Mrs. West downplayed the drama by defending that she was just “really tan,” the A-lister has since been hit with whole new scandal!

Last week, Keeks celebrated the launch of KKW Beauty by inviting a bunch of beauty bloggers and vloggers into her home for a little bash. Like any good businesswoman, Kimmie took time to meet with the beauty influencers one-on-one and made sure to tag them in the NUMEROUS snaps she uploaded to Instagram.
Except, not EVERYONE was given a shout out on the picture sharing site.
Specifically, YouTube sensation Jackie Aina wasn’t tagged in the pic Kim uploaded of the two of them. This was probably just an oversight, right?? Well Jackie’s fan don’t seem to think that way as the internet celeb notably criticized Kardashian’s product.
Although most of Jackie’s review for the contour kit was positive, Miz Aina called out the product for being “outdated” and said Kim should’ve dropped the line “five years ago.” Of course, fans of Aina immediately took the lack of tag as a passive aggressive dig toward the beauty expert and more than BLASTED North West’s mom online.
Ch-ch-check out the harsh Twitter reactions to the slight (below)!
@KimKardashian is complete trash for not tagging @jackieaina, purposefully. I’ve completely lost respect for her and her brand (@kkwbeauty).

What Kim Kardashian did to Jackie Aina show us that black women needs to stop rooting for her. How you can be mad about a honest review?

Kim Kardashian untagged Jackie Aina just cause Jackie gave an honest review lmao. Kim just want some yes men.
— super saiyan
It doesn’t surprise me that Kim Kardashian untagged Jackie Aina from her Instagram post bc Jackie gave her makeup product an honest review.

Kim Kardashian being petty and not tagging Jackie Aina just because she gave an honest review on her new make-up is typical of Kim K

Kim’s team has clearly since alerted the reality TV vet to the controversy as she took to Twitter on Tuesday to address the social media snafu. Amid the hate, the mother-of-two clapped back:
I just saw a story saying I intentionally didn’t tag @jackieaina in a pic I posted on Instagram because of a review she did about my line.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
I would never post someone’s pic on my page and then intentionally not tag them.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
When I uploaded the album I was tagging everyone that came to the party and for some reason it wouldn’t let me tag Jackie’s name.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
I figured I would just try again later, but then I realized you can’t add tags after the album is posted!
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
I hung out with @jackieaina in my home and she was super sweet!!
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
I love that she has an opinion and I’ll take what she said and use it to better my products.
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
Honestly, I’m so thankful to everyone who is giving me feedback on my beauty products & I love hearing what everyone loves, and doesn’t love
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
See?? It was just a social media hiccup. Although, we’re not totally buying that KKW uploads her own Instagrams. We mean, we KNOW you have an assistant!

Regardless, in order to avoid an issue like this in the future, Kim reached out to IG and asked:
So @Instagram, can you change it so that you can tag people in galleries after they are posted, so I can avoid this issue in the future?
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) June 27, 2017
Hey, Instagram, you better get to it! You don’t want Kim to sic momager Kris Jenner on you, right?? LOLz.
As for Jackie, she appreciated Kim for coming forward and addressing the inadvertent shade. After reading Kardashian-West’s explanation, the Internet personality added:
When @KimKardashian invited us into her home for the launch of KKW she was very sweet and professional, I shared that with all of you

So when this happened I was confused. It wasnt about being recognized, it felt like I was being shaded for a less than perfect review https://t.co/bldIVd1Vi0
— La Bronze James (@jackieaina) June 27, 2017
….and I know that’s not just how it looked to me, it’s how it looked to everyone else. I didn’t notice the photo tag until you all told me
— La Bronze James (@jackieaina) June 27, 2017
I don’t know @KimKardashian personally, so while she was super sweet tbh it’s hard NOT to assume the worst of people in this industry
— La Bronze James (@jackieaina) June 27, 2017
but anywho thank you @KimKardashian for clearing that up, having me into your home and welcoming my honesty and feedback ❤️
— La Bronze James (@jackieaina) June 27, 2017
thanks girl
— La Bronze James (@jackieaina) June 27, 2017
Looks like Kim’s avoided adding another feud to her long list of high profile beefs. Phew!
