Slaughterhouse rapper Joe Budden has stepped forward to call out clothing powerhouse Moncler for a new collection of racist-looking gear.
A screenshot has surfaced of Joey bashing the brand over its new Friends With You collaborative effort.
Various social media users have exploded over the minstrel-looking apparel.

Buzz developed earlier this week about Moncler’s controversial rollout.
Outwear label Moncler has joined the embarrassing list of companies that didn’t check in with their Black friends before going full throttle with production of racially insensitive merchandise. The brand recently launched a new collaboration with art collective Friends With You, which includes jackets and bags baring images resembling the blackface figures seen in minstrel shows. (ESSENCE)
