The No Doubt frontwoman has been dealing with accusations of profiting off Asian culture for years after she launched her solo career with a group of female dancers known as the Harajuku Girls.

AceShowbiz - Gwen Stefani is adamant she has done nothing wrong amid longstanding allegations of cultural appropriation, insisting she's only ever promoted the "beauty" of Japanese styles.

The No Doubt frontwoman famously performed with a group of female dancers known as the Harajuku Girls as she launched herself as a solo artist in the early to mid-2000s, and went on to adopt Japanese street fashion for her own looks in a multitude of media appearances.

Critics have been calling out Stefani for profiting off Asian culture for years, but the singer has no regrets about her earlier career choices.

"If we didn't buy and sell and trade our cultures in, we wouldn't have so much beauty, you know?" Stefani told Paper Magazine. "We learn from each other, we share from each other, we grow from each other. And all these rules are just dividing us more and more."

Comparing her life as a kid and as a celebrity, the fiancee of Blake Shelton pointed out, "I think that we grew up in a time where we didn't have so many rules." She added, "We didn't have to follow a narrative that was being edited for us through social media, we just had so much more freedom."

Elsewhere in the interview, Gwen shared her current goals in life. "Being a good human, a good mother. I want to have a good marriage. I want to be a good wife. I want to win at finding peace. I want to win at finding other hobbies that I'm good at," she stated before adding, "If I'm inspired, I'm going to try to do something with that inspiration."
