H&M over the weekend put a young African-American kid in a green “Coolest Monkey In The Jungle” sweatshirt as an advertisement. The company apologized for their advertisement today. We shouldn’t let them off the hook. The only reason they apologized is because they got caught.

Every piece of clothing they put out to advertise they have countless meetings about the product. So who decide this was a good idea to release to the public?

The Weeknd recently announced on Twitter that he’s cutting business ties with H&M over this advertisement.
