Atlanta rapper Tip "T.I." Harris is spearheading a national boycott of high-end fashion brands due to allegations of racism. The business mogul took to Instagram Friday after Gucci released a black turtleneck featuring racist, blackface iconography. "As a 7 figure/yr customer & longtime supporter of your brand I must say...Y’all GOT US f---ed UP!!! APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED!!!!" Tip wrote on Instagram Friday. "We ain’t going for this 'oops my bad I didn’t mean to be racist and disrespectful towards your people' st!!! Y’all knew wtf y’all was doin and WE AINT GOING FOR IT!!!" His anger and outrage sparked a movement comprised of other rappers like Soulja Boy and Waka Flocka who are no longer supporting the brand. "Smh what is this man? ----♂️ no more @gucci headbands for me. Who’s responsible for this? Because it’s not funny! At all!"
