African Americans, including stars like T.I. and Spike Lee, called for blacks to withdraw from Gucci after the luxury brand was accused of racism for creating a balaclava jumper that was made to resemble blackface. Floyd Mayweather, on the other hand, has openly disregarded the boycott and has gone ahead to spend thousands of dollars as he went on a Gucci shopping spree on Monday night.
Mayweather explained that he went on a Gucci shopping spree because he refuses to let people tell him how to live, according to TMZ Sport.
50 Cent, who is his former friend now turned enemy, did not hesitate to call him out after Gucci released a sweater which reminded the people of the Blackface racist Caricature, for his lack of support for the boycott. The rapper told the boxer that he’s saying all the wrong things and advised him to get a publicist.
Gucci has however apologised and has removed the sweater from the store. Floyd Mayweather, on the other hand, is of the opinion that no one can tell him what to do.
While on a massive shopping spree with his crew at the Gucci store in Beverly Hills, Floyd Mayweather reportedly says:
“I’m not no follower, I do what the f–k I wanna do.”
“You know when everybody else, they say, ‘Everybody gonna boycott?’ I say, guess what, this boy gonna get on a yacht and live life,” Mayweather continued.
Provoked by this, 50 Cent who recently joined the Gucci boycott call by burning Gucci shirt and materials, slammed Mayweather and also posted a video of himself burning a Gucci shirt and says he’s donating all of his Gucci to the homeless because he won’t wear the brand anymore.
