Most fans are concerned because it looks like Kendall is profiting off of cultural appropriation. You can see what a few Twitter users have to say below.
Something about Kendall Jenner making tequila rubs me the wrong way..like the idea of white celebrities taking from local Mexican artisans and profiting off our traditions and agricultural business yet only visit Cabos and Puerto Vallarta for vacation spots…

Ultimately, it’s too soon to tell how Kendall’s new business will perform. But since so many people are raising awareness about the problems associated with it, it’s possible that the business’ success will be negatively affected. While other celebrities have come out with their own tequila brands over the years, Kendall seems to be getting more backlash than they ever have. This may be due to her massive platform. On Instagram, she has 150 million followers. So, naturally, a lot of people will hear about the tequila and may buy it too.
So, do you think that there’s a problem with Kendall Jenner’s latest product? Or do you think that she had innocent intentions when creating it? Share your thoughts about the whole ordeal in the comments below.
