A TikTok make-up artist is facing backlash after recreating herself in blackface as the basketball legend Kobe Bryant. The NBA icon died in a tragic helicopter accident in 2020 and has remained an important figure in the basketball world ever since.

The video was actually first shared twice back in May 2022 and has 190,000 and 28,000 views respectively. In the second video, she added a caption that read: "Kobe is forever in my heart.
