In an Instagram video, Snoop Dogg asked his followers if the Hip Hop community is still boycotting Gucci after the brand came under fire for a sweater that resembled blackface three months ago.
“I seen some n*ggas wearing Gucci the other day so is the ban off or not?” Uncle Snoop asked on the ‘Gram. “Y’all gotta let me know because I got a buncha shit in here I ain’t give away yet. N*ggas wearing Gucci again or not? Cuz y’all ain’t say nothing about the n*ggas that had it on the other night. If I wear it, y’all gone talk shit?”
50 Cent, who previously showed his support for the ban by burning his Gucci threads, commented, “Man we still not wearing that bullshit snoop to much other fly shit to wear. To let them play us like that.”
However, no word yet from boycott leader, T.I, who initially called for the three-month ban in response to the controversial Gucci jumper.

Gucci did this as black people all wear Gucci now and they have lost the rich white market. Gucci was a classy brand and now they are like the FUBU of the high fashion world.
Tru dat. Gucci used to be the brand classy old white women would want, but they sure as hell dont want nothing to do with hiphop so they quit buying gucci after it got popular amongst the “gangstas” and “thugs”
I don’t know for what reasons, but it’s evident from how racist the balaclava jumpers were, Gucci was being disrespectful. But when they had their card pulled, they admitted it was in poor taste and apologized. Me, personally, I am an Irish white man- not no gypsie type muthafucka- I wouldn’t even wear their boxer shorts. Tacky as fuck.
They wont stop everybody gets so fucking outraged yet consumerism devours them and they could noy live without the same crap they cry about wether its gucci nike netflix georgia or the fuck ever people just like the attention for being so “woke” but the second it inconviniences then woop gone
What is wether????
A boycott with a preset time frame. How could it possibly fail.
Flip the hatred by funding it?
Flip the hatred by not acknowledging it
3 month ban, whats that meant to do?
Gucci always been garbage to me it dont cater to me like streetwear do and besides its alot of black clothes makers out we need too support our own if u buy gucci u can afford the black owned labels so fuck gucci
Snoop, too fucking spineless to even make his own decisions about what to wear. Big shocker. Why does hip hop continue to act like he’s contributed anything to the culture in the last 20 years?
