H&M is king of disposable clothing, random celebrity collaborations, fake Coachella merch, and, most recently, racist ad campaigns.
After the clothing brand put an image of a black child model wearing a “coolest monkey in the jungle” sweatshirt on its website, people grew rightfully outraged at its racist connotations. Although the company apologized for the ad (or possible publicity stunt), the backlash didn’t end as celebrities like LeBron James, The Weeknd, G-Eazy, and others chastised and/or cut ties with H&M.
