T.I.<\/a> has slammed Floyd Mayweather in a diss track for his support of Gucci following the clothing designer\u2019s release of a controversial black balaclava-style knit top, which resembles blackface. While the song \u201cFuck Nigga\u201d doesn\u2019t call out the boxer by name, it doesn\u2019t pull punches against someone who continues to support the brand in light of the growing boycott.<\/p>\n

\u201cDamn, it must suck to be a fuck ni\u2013a\/Old greedy ass ni\u2013a only thinking about his self,\u201d T.I. raps over a laidback groove, before questioning the boxer\u2019s allegiances. \u201cHe get the fame, he get the wealth\/But people are struggling, who did you help?\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, TMZ<\/em><\/a> spotted Mayweather shopping at Gucci. When asked about the boycott, the boxer said, \u201cI\u2019m not no follower, I do what the fuck I wanna do.\u201d He later added, \u201cWe all know racism still exists, but that\u2019s not gonna stop my drive. I\u2019ve got friends from all walks of life and to me of course Black Lives Matter first. But my thing is this, I\u2019m gonna tell you to go out there, live life and be happy and be positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the backlash over its $890 knit top, Gucci apologized<\/a> and has since pulled it from its physical and online stores.<\/p>\n

Gucci deeply apologizes for the offense caused by the wool balaclava jumper.
We consider diversity to be a fundamental value to be fully upheld, respected, and at the forefront of every decision we make.

T.I. is among the celebrities to have called for a boycott of Gucci after it released the balaclava. On Wednesday, 50 Cent took to Instagram where he posted a video burning a Gucci T-shirt. \u201cI gotta get rid of all the Gucci I have a home,\u201d the rapper wrote. \u201cI\u2019m not supporting their brand anymore.\u201d Meanwhile, director Spike Lee wrote on Instagram<\/a> that he wouldn\u2019t wear Prada or Gucci \u201cuntil they hire some black designers.\u201d He added, \u201cThey don\u2019t have a clue when it comes to racist, blackface hateful imagery.\u201d<\/p>\n
