The Weekend took to Twitter on Monday (Jan. 8) to announce he would not be collaborating with H&M in the future after a photo went viral of a black child modeling a green hoodie that reads "Coolest Monkey In The Jungle."
"Woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo," tweeted The Weeknd, who has collaborated with the Swedish clothing giant on two collections so far. "I’m deeply offended and will not be working with @hm anymore..." As Quest predicted, H&M has now apologized for the controversial image: "We sincerely apologize for this image. It has been removed from all online channels and the product will not be for sale in the United States. We believe in diversity and inclusion in all that we do."
