Many users jumped to Ayesha's defence amid the controversy, with one Twitter user writing, "I’m convinced people believe it’s their job to hate on Ayesha Curry. Just let her live her life, it’s her hair. I love The Curry Family, let them be".
"Ayesha Curry goes blonde and uses an IG filter and all of a sudden she wants to be white? Please...clock into your jobs," said another.
Steph Curry, 32, also defended his wife with a sweet, supportive comment underneath her post.
"You beautiful baby. And don’t you let anybody tell you differently ok? I mean it. There’s just a bunch of meanies out there and I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. Do you boo boo. P.S. If the wig falls off I won’t tell anybody, I promise. Pinky promise.
"It be hilarious though, but won’t anybody know. Wait- that’s been you in this bed the whole time??? I ain’t even know. Now I’m tripping," he added.
