Following Swedish retailer H&M’s controversial racist advert, celebrities have flocked to social media to express their opinions regarding the product.
Canadian singer, songwriter, The Weeknd went as far as cutting ties with the brand, while other stars had their say.
Amazingly many alternative designs and drawings began to show up online.. Removing the hoodie’s original “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle” inscription, the new images replaced the slogan with re-assuring prints such as “Coolest King in the World.”
The likes of Diddy, LeBron James and others have reacted over the ad.

Even after this @hm racist scandal, blacks will continue buying their products. People still buy @Dove , @Unilever products.
