Music mogul Russell Simmons sees both sides of the coin. The hip-hop executive has weighed-in on comedian Tiffany Haddish‘s decision to wear fur daily to protest police brutality.
Last night, Simmons went to Instagram with words for both Haddish and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

This week, Tiffany sparked headlines after vowing to wear fur in protest of police brutality.
“I don’t know if you know this about me, but I’m about to start protesting. I’m going to wear fur every day until they stop killing black people. When the police stop killing black people, I’ll stop wearing fur. It’s my new protest. So sorry PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals), don’t be mad at me, be mad at the police.”

PETA has since responded to Tiffany’s now-viral video and urged her to reconsider the protest approach.
“We love you, Tiffany, and as an animal rights organization, we advocate for and believe in kindness towards all, including animals,” the organization commented. “We hope that you choose to protest in a different way that doesn’t harm any humans or any animals, but is kind to all.” (USA Today)
