Clothing company H&M’s controversial advertisement is spawning a special song.
Clothing line H&M recently came under fire for a controversial piece merchandise. The company recently featured an African-American boy wearing a sweatshirt that said “Coolest Monkey In the Jungle” on the front. Almost immediately, The Weeknd cut ties with H&M after the advertisement, citing it as “deeply fensive.”
Other celebrities assailed the retailer, and the item was pulled. But that was just the beginning.
This advertisement has also caused people to ransack H&M stores. According to Independent, “stores in South Africa have also been temporarily closed following unrest triggered by the clothing brand’s controversial ‘ Coolest Monkey In the Jungle’ hoodie ad.”
