Kylie Jenner hits out at friend Chris Brown for sharing message that refers to Caitlyn Jenner as “science project”

Kylie Jenner has hit out at friend Chris Brown for sharing an online message in which Caitlyn Jenner is referred to as a “science project”.

Singer Chris reposted an Instagram message by Snoop Dogg which was deemed disrespectful to Caitlyn, formerly known as Bruce Jenner, after she revealed herself as a woman to the world on the front cover of Vanity Fair earlier this week.

Chris shared Snoop’s post of a picture of singer Akon, which was captioned: “Shout out to Akon! He is about to supply 600 million Africans with solar power.

“I’m really upset that this isn’t major news but that science project Bruce Jenner is #Society.”

Chris, who is good friends both of Caitlyn's daughters Kylie and Kendall Jenner, deleted the picture soon after fans began to express their shock.

Shortly after, Kylie tweeted: “State what you want about the world without bashing others. Leave a positive impact.”

A number of people reacted in disgust at Snoop Dogg’s original post, with one former fan responding: “Just deleted all your music off my iTunes. You have no respect for trans people so I have no respect for you. What Akon is doing is heroic, but that does not need to be used to denounce Caitlyn’s heroism.

“Coming out on such a huge scale will and has inspired so many LGBTQ people, so f**k you Snoop, that’s not a science project.”
