Tommy Hilfiger Addressed Racist Rumor

[Entrepronegro]

Tommy said he never said any racist remarks and that whoever said he did was just trying to sabotage his brand.

Tommy Hilfiger said he helped Russell Simmons start Phat Farm. He also helped P-Diddy start Sean Jean.

Start video at the 3:30 mark that's were the rumor was addressed.

 

[Hey Julian!]

That was a wild rumor that gotta lot of legs when I was in high school.
"Man, don't buy that Tommy Hill shit, you know dude said he didn't make his clothes for Black people right?"

Meanwhile, he's was one of the first designers to incorporate hip hop styling and use hip-hop artists in advertising.

Unfortunately true. But good Lord did I hate having dude's name go down my legs a kid. Y'all know the motto Polo fuck Hilfiger ! Lol had too

Who wears that ugly shit anyway? That and Polo when whack for decades.

 

[Raymond]

I remember when they had those rumors. I was in college. Sounded more like racist CACs trying to shit on the brand cause they used black models.

 

[gdatruth]

there was the same rumor with timberland.

shit didn't make sense cause Tommy specifically courted the hip hop community

I don't think the brand ever fully recovered

Tommy yeah, Polo never really changed up their classic stuff and always a good fall back when shopping for gear.

Do you like Tommy Hilfiger like that? Whether he did or didn't isn't the point foo! The point is if we ban a MF that's it. I don't need to hear them pleading their cases. Don't you know it's a war going on ?

You already know....

 

[kain]

I was stupid enough to believe the rumor for a couple of years.

Yea he comes off like a racist anyways and most if not all honkie fashion designers don't want niggaz wearing their shit so it's nothing new.
