"U got us all wrong! And we ain’t going for it! Straight up!" the Cleveland Cavaliers star wrote on Instagram Monday. Other celebrities that have commented on the H&M advertisement include LeBron James, Questlove and Sean "Diddy" Combs. It’s currently unclear if and when the artist’s products will be removed from stores. Some pieces from The Weeknd x H&M are still available on the company’s website. The recording artist worked with the brand on two different collections his latest was released last September. "i’m deeply offended and will not be working with anymore." "Woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo," The Weeknd said in a tweet. His decision to end his relationship with the retailer because of the ad comes after hip-hop artist The Weeknd announcement he will no longer work with H&M. G-Eazy was working with H&M on a menswear collection scheduled to hit stores worldwide and online on March 1. "After seeing the disturbing image yesterday, my excitement over our global campaign quickly evaporated, and I've decided at this time our partnership needs to end." Rapper and music producer G-Eazy took to social media Tuesday to condemn the ad and to announce that he’s cut ties with the brand. It seems like Mango is one of few who can "get over it." This is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modeled … stop crying Wolf all the time, unnecessary issue." She also told people to "get over it." Terry Mango wrote on social media, "That’s my son … I’ve been to all photo shoots and this was not an exception, everyone is entitled to their opinion about this. In an interesting twist, one person who didn't seem bothered by the image is the child-model’s mother. The advertisement appeared on the retailer’s UK site and was widely criticized online as being " degrading," " irresponsible" and " racist."Īlthough the company swiftly apologized and removed the image, it seems it has ways to go to mitigate the damage. The H&M boy’s clothing catalogue featured a black child modeling a sweater with a monkey - an animal that has a history of being associated with racial and ethnic slurs - while a white boy modeled one that said "survival expert." Celebrities no longer want to be associated with H&M after the fashion retailer used a young black child model to advertise a hoodie that read "Coolest Monkey in the Jungle."
