SOHH Squad
Grammy-winning rapper T.I. is done-done supporting Burberry. The King of the South has shared his disgust with the high-end fashion brand putting out offensive apparel at his London Fashion Week showcase.
Tip went to Instagram Tuesday and didn’t hold back on ripping Burberry.
Pretty much – knew it would only be a matter of seconds before the KING spoke on it! Salute! @Tip #SOHHNews #BanGucci #BanBurberry #BanPrada #BanMoncler pic.twitter.com/Xkd4nJZBIM

On Tuesday, Burberry issued an apology for showing off its controversial and racist apparel during its London event.
“We are deeply sorry for the distress caused by one of the products that featured in our A/W 2019 runway collection,” Marco Gobbetti, Burberry chief executive officer, said in a statement provided to CNN. “Though the design was inspired by the marine theme that ran throughout the collection, it was insensitive and we made a mistake,” he added.

Model Liz Kennedy – who modeled in the show – released a full statement on the situation.
The drama has sparked a flurry of social media reactions and outbursts.

Gucci and Moncler did blackface. Burberry thinks a noose around the neck is fashionable. I’m starting to believe the fashion industry has an agenda this Black History Month pic.twitter.com/CSVuNhlpVe
