Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. Unfortunately, the LA Lakers legend tragically passed away in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020.
Many basketball fans will never forget Bryant, as his impact on the league was massive. Many have also made tributes for the five-time NBA champion, although one TikTok user may have gone too far.
She added the caption: 'Color and pain [sic]. My lovely black beauty transformation make up.'
The makeup artist included dozens of hashtags - including #slave - many of which she has since removed following a flood of complaints from shocked followers.
Percem has now told Femail the transformation was for a movie shot in Turkey, and that she had hashtagged its title '#slayer', but that it had been changed to #slave.
TikToker easy_baobo, who's a makeup expert, has recently recreated Kobe Bryant's face. While this took a lot of time and effort, many basketball fans are offended and some have even called it "blackface."
The TikTok user has posted around 20 videos showing her makeup transformations. Kobe Bryant is not the only celebrity whose face she's recreated, although this video has received the most attention and views.
While all of her other videos have received a few thousand views, the recreation of the basketball legend has received nearly 200,000 views. The video has more views than all of her other videos combined, but she was criticized for it.
When one critic shared Percem's photograph on Twitter it went viral, with one shocked user posting: 'I don't even have words for this.'
Another wrote on Twitter: 'How do people still think this is OK?? For f***'s sake.'
Percem is an SFX artist and had originally posted a YouTube video demonstrating her tutorial. She then shared stills from the video on her Instagram feed, which has more than 3,300 followers.
Percem has 20,000 views on her YouTube account and says she was the NYX Face Awards winner for Turkey in 2017.
Her YouTube page is filled with makeup tutorials, including guides to horror makeup for Halloween, but it was the so-called 'slave' post that grabbed the internet's attention - including that of the Twitter user who shared it and called on their followers to report Percem's post to moderators.
