Diddy Reportedly Set To Offer H&M Child Model $1m Contract
Remember the little black boy who was used to model the rather racist hoodie by H&M?
Well, God has buttered his bread as rapper, Sean ‘P.Diddy’ Combs is reportedly set to offer the kid a $1 million modelling contract.
H&M came under heavy fire over the weekend when it ran an ad on its website featuring a black boy wearing a hoodie with the slogan ‘Coolest monkey in the jungle’.
They were later forced to apologise, including removing the controversial garment from their collection.
Singer, The Weeknd also announced his disassociation with H&M after the clothing brand was forced to apologise for a racist advert. ‘Woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo,’ the singer wrote on Twitter. ‘I’m deeply offended and will not be working with @hm anymore.’
According to the British newspaper Metro, Diddy will be offering the little boy in the picture a one-million dollar modeling contract to join him at his own clothing company, Sean John.
