Kylie is insisting her latest modeling photos is an homage to extraterrestrial life and not black-face, after the reality star was slammed with criticism over the weekend.

The youngest member of the Jenner-Kardashian clan posted a few photos from her photo-shoot with Marcelo Cantu on her Instagram page on Saturday evening. The teen is seen with darker makeup and dark tresses with purple highlights. After wishing she would "look like this all the time," Kylie deleted the photo.

While some were quick to point towards racism for her shoot, others believe the reality star's obsession with black culture led to her photo and its caption. Since her rumored romance with Tyga, Kylie's appearance has changed dramatically, as she continues to look like her older sister Kim Kardashian. Her alleged photo disses to Tyga's ex Black Chyna have also been brought into question.

In an attempt to shut down her critics, the teen hopped on Twitter and explained how she wanted to embody an avatar look and not another race. She also says she loves the way she looks.

Check out the photo and her tweets above.
