Boosie Badazz was perusing a local mall when he noticed a long line of people waiting to get into the Gucci store. Typically, that wouldn’t be anything out of the ordinary — they’re just people wanting some high-end clothing, right?
Wrong.
In February 2018, the brand was criticized for one of many seemingly racist items, including a $890 “blackface” sweater. Since then, Boosie stopped wearing his Gucci headband. So, it’s no surprise he was triggered when he saw several Black shoppers waiting to get their hands on some Gucci gear.
“Gucci don’t like Black people, I don’t know why all y’all in that line,” he says in the clip. “Y’all stupid as a mu’fucka. Gucci don’t like Black people, but y’all still in a line. Y’all stupid as a mu’fucka. Stupid as a mu’fucka, all y’all.”
While Boosie found some support for last year’s Gucci boycott, several of his peers didn’t take it seriously. Lil Pump continued rocking his big hit “Gucci Gang” even though he said he backed the boycott, while Diplomats rapper Jim Jones was adamant he’d wear whatever he wants.
Gucci Apologizes For Offensive "Blackface" Sweater Following Backlash
“Don’t ask me about Gucci goofy when dap start sellin 2 DD’s instead of 2 GG’s I will stop rockin it,” he said in an Instagram post at the time. “but until then eat ur heart out any rappers have a issues wit tht I’m never hard to find AMEN. Ps lookin like I brang th Scurl back lol.”
Most recently, Gucci Mane (go figure) announced he was inching closer to a new partnership with the brand. On Thursday (June 25), the 1501 Eskimo founder fired off a tweet that read, “It’s official I’m getting my own brand at @gucci. I hope they ain’t lying.”
The announcement comes after a since-deleted tweet in which Gucci Mane artist called out Gucci for their perceived bigotry.
“To all snitches and my haters and the most polite racist ever @gucci,” he wrote. “I pray y’all die of coronavirus.”
Yep.. definitely another dumb move by some in my community. When will it end.
Shut the fuck up you white piece of shit.
Your a racist piece of shit ill fuck your mothers black pussy while u watch inthe closet show you how mommy takes a white cock
MFers that don’t even make 2k a month will go save up for some Yeezys lmfao
Real question: why did Gucci have a line?
Systemic oppression in America=Standing in line to buy a $700 hoodie. Makes sense
Couldn’t buy that in Africa, because they don’t give out free money there like they do here in the states, thanks to traitors in our government that are i.sraeli dual citizens and want to genocide whitey.
He has a wardrobe full of Gucci himself at home… hypocrite idiot….
Oppression.. lolol these black people are so held back they have too protest at the gucci store while trying to survive a pandemic …… lolololol
Exactly when black people would wear Tommy Hilfiger clothing until the designer Tommy was a racist . Opera Whinfrey interview .
That was a myth…smh.
Boosie’s got to find a way of expressing himself without offending people. I get the point he’s trying to make but if he continues behaving the way he does it’s only a matter of time before something happens to him. When it’s all said and done, people have the freedom to wear whatever brands they want wear. They should just be aware of the values they stand for. The times we’re living in call for it.
Well said, I had a conversation with a co-worker about how your message can be written off if you deliver it the wrong way. Dude could have easily just spoke his mind and they probably would have listened and moved on to Foot Locker.
True
Don’t agree with Boosie on much, but he is right. Gucci crossed a line, and should be boycotted.
Rappers make these brands hot, but they don’t want rappers to wear their clothes.
Sorry Guicci was popular before rappers starred wearing their gear. They started wearing it because they could finally afford to buy it. Guicci brand is a symbol of success and wealth. That’s why everyone rocks it. Get it straight.
Your right it was popular with mainstream people with money real money black men with money made it popular with black who really could afford it but did what ever to have it black men don’t know how to use the platform they are given most time but Gucci only became popular among blacks because popular blacks promoted that garbage I look at it this way if you find me offensive and not good enough to sit at a table you sit at but I can afford to buy your product why should I buy it if you don’t really like me without knowing me
U both have a point. Certain line of clothes represent wealth n so on.. it doesn’t justify the fact if u have a preference of nationality to wear your clothing line, why should I support u and spend my wealth with u? Not happening. Btw Gucci was known n being worn before Gucci Mane.
So you saying clothing items are a symbol of wealth and not stocks and real estate? Where they do that?
sorry that’s besides tge point u work so hard to the top and your not accepted because your career and race cmon u missing the point if u not welcome to buy it should tell you something like its clear as day they dont want nobody of color rockin there success because thats for white success facts!
Boycott rappers that love to include black on black violence, and the love for drugs in their lyrics. Do these rappers love black folks? When the majority of the time they’re mentioning how they’d love to gun them down, rob them for their drugs, etc. lol can’t play both sides family. If Gucci deserves to be banned because for being supposedly racist, then ban these rappers that obviously don’t care for us as well.
I agree we should have boycotted certain rappers all they did was promote black on black violence and degrade black women promote liquor and glorify these racist clothing companies like Gucci’s
Sounds like this ignit fool just salty cuz he ain’t getting his own brand line with Gucci like Guwop. Let’s be honest here – you really think a international luxury brand like Gucci would work with a h0mophobic idiot like this guy? Hell to the N-O. Personally i agree with his views on h0mo stuff etc but we all know these big companies endorse that shit because they are dependant on funding etc and shareholders bankers etc ‘the international (jooish) community are all about pushing that gay stuff to lower white birth rates.
Yall have to admit we think the dumbest out of any race on earth we don’t like whitey but run when given the chance to give him our money if you want the economy strong just open up the mall and food joints and like the Michael Jackson song we will be there we still trying to impress one another and we don’t have shit and rappers yall have made millions off of glorifying drugs sells and screwing over black women and we know yall speaking off black women in your lyrics not white women because if you were your master wouldn’t let you put out a somg
Speak truth to them. Gucci isn’t the only brand. Can’t build wealth in the black community because so many spend their money keeping up with brands that don’t give a damn about blacks. As a black woman, I don’t support anything that doesn’t support me (black models that look like me, putting money back in black communities etc.) Black men also need to be checked on screaming racism but look at how they treat black women, especially the darker tones. They treat us like dog do do.
Fuck boozienone ignorant muthafucker think he somebody fool got issue ! Facts disprespecting ur own people!! Is a nono!
