Floyd Mayweather Jr and rapper Kodak Black say they will continue wearing Gucci despite calls for boycotts amid accusations of racism.
Gucci was accused of racism after social media users complained one of its sweaters resembled blackface. The ensuing controversy prompted the fashion house to pull the balaclava sweater from online stores.
In an interview with TMZ, the champion boxer said he would continue to drop a mansion payment at Gucci stores.
Floyd says he is not a follower. He refuses to be told what to do by uneducated rappers on social media who constantly call for boycotts over every perceived slight.
“See, the thing is this, I live for myself. I do what I want to do,” said Floyd. “I’m not a follower. You know when everybody else they say, ‘Everybody gonna boycott?’ I say guess what, this boy gonna get on a yacht and live life.”
He added: “We all know racism still exists but that’s not gonna stop my drive. I’ve got friends from all walks of life and to me of course, black lives matter first. But my thing is this, I’m gonna continue to go out there live life and be happy.”
Rapper Kodak Black also resisted the calls for boycotts against Gucci, Prada and Moncler whose products supposedly resemble blackface.
In a video posted on social media on Tuesday, Kodak said he will not stop wearing Gucci amid the sweater controversy.
Kodak said “there are a lot of ski masks” on the market and “black people do be reaching for no reason, just reaching for little sh-t.”
Aint boycotting something my ass can barely afford. I dont willingly go out and buy this high end stuff anyway ????? This will blow over and they will be wearing it again. Outraged now…be seen in the fall 2019 line in May
coons gonna coon…I like Floyd but Floyd is always looking for spotlight…and he knows by saying this it will go viral
Well Kodak look like he still do fraud and Mayweather cant read. He has no idea what ONE G is let alone double G’s.
I aint give up Pepsi or Shea Moisture so meh. On them
Floyd say he not a follower…(he been this way since he was a child, so when the teacher told the 1st graders to get out their “i can read” booklets, you already know…) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5a16feb7886870b58e876a7ffc6b264e7419e743bb55ec579123b82d4a427799.gif
Well May is 3 months from now. LOL That’s how long TI called for the boycott to be…. a whole THREE months. :blankstare: Gucci will be alright without our (well not mine cause I can’t afford it) money.
And Floyd didnt give a fukk about the blacks in Flint who dont have clean water an hour away from his hometown. Why folks think he cares about this? He done told yall he aint giving shit and stop looking for him to care. He doesnt and aint. Move on.
you said they convinced Floyd that was his monogram, so now he overly identifying with the brand, smh
I never could afford these high-end brands, so I’ve been boycotting by default. What I don’t understand is, why don’t black people with tons of money automatically search for black designers, wear their clothing and make them famous. They’re out there. Soulja Boy is removing his Gucci face tat. What? Why did he have that anyway? Why didn’t he tat Sean John, Fabu or Karl Kani on his dumb face? Sometimes, we do the most and we simply can’t afford to. I know it cliche, but we have to do better.
I don’t blame Floyd. Black liberals are like robotic sheep. No black liberals have shown outrage toward the va governor who actually wore black face. Stop it with the liberal agenda . The racist in fashion and the Democrats part are long standing .
Floyd looked so confused.
I tried not to laugh
Just looking at the jacket I’m appalled. I can’t believe they thought this was okay. I can’t believe anyone black would want to wear this. Sad, but too many of our people care more about showing off a designers name on their body, than they care about what that same designer thinks of them. To sit down and sketch black face, design the garment black face, and then for a team to agree that it is marketable because people will buy it, and then run it on the runway, then let it hit stores, means there is a culture and generation that does not value or respect our community. And then to have wealthy people in our community go buy those same garments is mind boggling. The reason our community gets NOWHERE is because we do not stick together, we only look out for ourselves.
Nothing else to say on the matter.
*cackles*
Right Tiff ??
Omg ??? facts so we shouldn’t be surprised
One can’t read and the other is a felon. Their opinion on a scale of 1 to 10 is at a negative 2.
You know what….you gone get it when I get home after work…I don’t want to hear nothing. Just decide your poison; switch, belt, or the black comb?
?
Truth is a lot of these companies don’t even want black dollars or you even inside their stores..that’s hard for black folks to believe but it’s very true
It’s that Z shit
Nancy, what we gone do with you, smh.
Why should he care I didn’t dirty the water…we got problems with the water systems in dekalb you know why black folks pouring grease down their drains so I guess Floyd should pay for that tooo
Spell Gucci Floyd….
Kodak who?
Okay then….
Kodak seems a lil slow too!?
OT: I needed ya’ll today! Really doe.
Thank you for all the giggles, sniggles, cackles, and gut busters.
Has anybody watched Boomerang yet?
lolol at you and @disqus_05Ygl2UKKO:disqus for continuing !
?
It’s why I keep coming back … lol
There was a boycott on Pepsi and Shea Moisture… I need to crawl out from under my rock.

Does Kodak know what a ski mask look like because the face on that jacket is not it.
this what happened to Floyd… he getting the belk instead of help w/his 4-letter words, smh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5a16feb7886870b58e876a7ffc6b264e7419e743bb55ec579123b82d4a427799.gif
fish grease is clogging up yall’s water supply?!
hmmm… my neighbor did that and only clogged up HIS OWN SINK. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9eb2b76e506e38d5072dd1cf3ad262774eb5ffcb7856de93eefa3205f33fbcb1.gif
Lol, Floyd said he’s no listening to mo uneducated rapper but somehow forget that he can’t read on a 5th grade level. Actually, that’s rather sad.
Look at him. For real does he look like he knows anything?
Floyd: “GG” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6226dcdb15b0ed1cd1e8c1e02b6f33f0021b1465cf8168d436f253d1c3a2b52b.gif
we agree on this!
You can go to Mr World Premiere site to read comments/discuss the Boomerang episodes, I haven’t watched yet.
This is sadly true but funny AF at the same time. He has not have a clue.

This mofo still rocking a Lisa Simpson. He don’t know chit! And neither does his boy Floyd non reading azz.
if “kodak” is who i think he is, he’s not even fully potty trained, so why we puttin’ this pressure on him?
???
I will continue to shop out of the thrift stores, and slay, never was a label whore. .
You have a point.
Not the “Lisa Simpson” ?
Honestly, you find some unique stuff in the thrift store, I haven’t been in quite a while but this comment just made me want to go again!
Naw! They want black dollars. Cash is still green at the end of the day. They are fine with us being consumers without a pot to piss in.
He’s a Black Lisa Simpson…..LOL…Go home ASAP..I’m so glad that I was finished chewing this chicken wing…..LOL…IT peeps would have been pissed at me for the humpteen time for missing up my keyboards and Monitors….LOL
I see NO LIES
No…don’t tattoo ANY designer unless you are the designer on any parts of your body. That is just sheer foolishness.
I go religiously, most people don’t care for it, but all you have to do is take your items to the dry cleaners. ..
Floyd is a Troll. He found a formula of being flashy and arrogant. There have been several models who’ve said that he pays them money just to be around him, he doesnt have sex with them, he just has them around as an image .
He is the most boring champion boxer of all time. He doesnt go in to win, he runs aroung the ring and counter punches
He uses that villain image because he knows shallow customers will pay for his boring PPV fights in hopes that he will get knocked out.
Sooo Floyd refuses to be told what to do by uneducated rappers on social media who constantly call for boycotts?… Seriously??… I doubt if he can even read any of the designer labels he wears OR even count his own damn money!… Please STFU and get yo damn GED Floyd!!!
Looking like Buckwheat in shet
Like I said it’s hard for blacks to comprehend but they don’t want you there.
I’m done for the day. I wish that I can stop working right now and go home..But I have too much work to get done around here…LOL…You are the Winner today. So come and stop by tomorrow at my cube and get your Starbucks and Krispy Kreme Valentine Message Doughnut…
These two are the epitome of what that image stands for on that sweater…utter ignorance! Goes to show how worthless their money is, when all common sense ,education, self-worth, self-love, etc. is missing.

I think that has more to do TI being the one that called for the boycott than it does with Gucci. They can’t stand each other and they fought once before. Either way they shouldn’t try and force people to support boycotts just cause they black. Floyd and Kodak should be able to do them

The malls , etc. have nothing on thrift stores, you really find some gems. Crazy thing is now some of the thrift stores are high.
I agree!
Because you of course just returned from an exhaustive nationwide tour where you polled ever Black liberal and they said they weren’t bothered by Northam and his Blackface exploits.
Well you missed my friends and me and I’m sure several others who think he needs to go. I don’t know how outraged we are over a stupid white man doing something stupid as hell in the 80’s. It was par for course, so I don’t know if outrage would be the correct emotion.
I will say that designer brands and their missteps have never and will never be our biggest issue as long as we’re still supporting our enemies aka Chic Fil A. I personally don’t patronize the joint, but many willingly give their dollars that in turn go and support conservative candidates and causes that are against our interests at every turn.
oh garsh! i’m so e-cited!!!!!!!!!! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/52ce5fa7ba2896ba5337eb86c95ed4c91179497f846964b2504c5876df0a77b4.gif
???
Boom ???
But who wears moncler anyway?
Shea Moisture because they sold out to Unilever. I don’t rock with them anymore. I can put my coin right to black owned companies…
Maybe…referenced to Game of Thrones…that is what I got from the username.
QTNA.
Facts.
Smh ?????
One can’t read and the other looks like he’s a helmet fitting away from the short bus, NOTHING these two say holds any water!
I can’t afford no new gucci now but im not burning ANY OF MY GUCCI OR PRADA! I have to much of it. SORRY I worked to hard to steal the designer clothes I have! #period
Well, duh. I was making a point.
“Floyd says he is not a follower” you’re not a reader either Floyd so I don’t expect you to comprehend or know your worth? blue’s clues watching azz ?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/585824a875a26d73f3ed05f66c00dfecc92b4f9e0c818a8ea03ffba337d424d1.jpg
Lololol
Make your ramblings more succinct.
You see the upvotes you seem to be the odd man out
Kodak to busy looking like the freakin mask so it don’t matter to him. To familiar!!!! GTFOH you coon!
I agree with Kodak with this one….someone was really reaching with this one. What if they would have advertised this sweater with a black person wearing it instead? Would it get the same backlash? I’m sorry, I just don’t get it.
Keep voting kkk
Add some blackface to make you happy
“… refuses to be told what to do by uneducated rappers on social media who constantly call for boycotts over every perceived slight.”
Sums it up for me.
I can’t take neither one of them seriously. Especially the one from Florida.
I don’t like the logo on the coat. The first thing that came to mind when I saw it was black monkey. I’m hoping like hell that’s not what it is. I can see why some folks would get their panties in a bunch.
I was just about to say the same damn thing! Ugly mofo!
Ion care…. Kodak sounds and looks retarded
?????? I don’t post for upvotes old man.
Where can I find some thrift store?
Right, I have noticed this also…
I normally Google them, I try to stay in certain areas, because the quality of items.
? Please do not “Duh” me…Good Grief…
Floyd doesn’t make his money from black people so he can care less. Floyd is a slave to the dollar and everyone knows that. We should never expect that floyd would do anything for black culture.
Sandra, ever since you posted that story about that offensive turtleneck, I have been shopping for new glasses. A couple of months ago, I purchased two pairs of Gucci eyeglasses and it took me weeks to find them. In the meantime, I have retired my Gucci watches. ?
A Pisces not being a follower, that’s a first.
again, who REALLY gonna STOP wearing their GUCCI??
He looks touched yakkk
Hell yea…yeww know Kodax rode dat short yella bus byke in the day
Ain nobidy studn Mayweather…any nugga that got more consonants than vowels in their name ain bout shidt.
OMG!!! The best dang gone comment yet????
All major companies have problems with blacks. Timberland with the Tree symbol.. Crystal champagne… Tommy Hilfiger… ect.. But blacks are going to continue to support…. I figured these two clowns would answer that way. But one day they will be broke and we will see just how much Gucci will support them.
Not just fish grease but chicken and hair also
Floyd don’t follow???
Yeah you do Floyd….
You’ll follow that dollar anywhere it leads your illiterate ezz.
helmet fitting away from the short bus
__________
????
Whoo chile!!!! Say that!!
I think these are all experiments on the emotional intelligence of black folks. Something isn’t right.. these European designers are aware of the history in America. What’s really going on? Lol
Lord why you got me spelling his name out.
I’m a Pisces and I have never been a follower, but I’m an only child and a lone wolf so I may be an exception. I’m the only Pisces I personally know, so I can’t make any comparisons.
Its called “NOT GIVING AF”
Me
He’s so young to have breast like that ?
and plus, do we REALLY expect a ninja that can’t read to be able to count past 100 (and I am being generous)? I am convinced he is so frivolous with money because he really does not comprehend monetization. He prolly thinks a million dollars is like 20 “100” dollar bills. Ray Charles had WAAAAAAY MORE better money management skills and he was bline…..he could tell a one dollar bill from a 5, a 5 from a 10, a 10 from a 20, and so on….he was the REAL MONEY TEAM!
Yes it wudve and that black person wudve been called a coon, sellout, etc did u not see the response that HM got when that little boy modeled that monkey hoodie
Looking like he still do fraud lol
What’s sad about Kodak is he should be the MAIN ONE UPSET!!!! They done straight STOLE his ENTIRE face and are using it…you TELL ME if that dang on Moncler jacket don’t look like Kodak….he should be outraged!!! #facialcopyrightinfringement #theystoleyouryearbookpicture
That was different. That sweater could have been in any color and still been offensive. That
included a racial reference. This is just a black sweater.
I’m gone need Floyd to follow his ass to the nearest library instead of the nearest Gucci store. Granted it’s his money he can do what he want to do with it. But at the same time, you sound foolish as all hell saying black lives matter first then drop mansion notes in a store that don’t give a damn about it..
Meanwhile, Princess Kate wore a Gucci gown this week to an event . The rich , white. , and elite that these fashion houses are designing for will continue to purchase these clothes. This will last for a season I predict and it’s back to everything being Gucci , corny, sarcastic, pun intended.
If you haven’t already, go to Youtube and watch…..Secret of Selling To The Negro -1954
Perfectly executed…….
2 Clowns in a bucket…fk’em
The black sweater cudve been worn by anybody and it wudv got the same heat….that was my point! The person wearing it doesn’t matter….its the sweater that’s the problem
Kodak is the same pos that stated that he doesn’t like brown and dark women, so he is already battling self hate issues. Go figure.
LMAO… He likes to wear ski masks. He probably bought the whole line and called corporate to get all the ones they removed from the shelves.
Lol
That’s cool!..BUT I’m “BOY”cotting them along WITH Gucci!… WHAT does lil Floyd do nowadays anyway, AND who IN THE..”Who in the hell left the gate open” is KB anyway, what does he Contribute to society!!!! I’m Sick of folks not taking a Stance, yet still “Busy doin’ Nothing”!!!!
YEEEESSSSS!!! Ditto, THRIFTING is THE ISH!
