H&M is one of several major companies to be hit by an advertisement scandal in recent years. Style blogger Stephanie Yeboah tweeted on Sunday: "You do know that monkey is a known racial slur to black people right?" "We as African Americans will always have to break barriers, prove people wrong and work even harder to prove we belong," James added.

NBA superstar LeBron James on Tuesday was the latest public figure to slam the u got us all wrong! And we ain't going for it! Straight up!" James said in an Instagram post which included a photo of the same ad, but with a crown superimposed on the boy's head, and the text on the hooded sweater replaced by a crown. "We understand that many people are upset about the children's hoodie." "We've not only removed the image from our channels, but also the garment from our product offering," the group said. The company apologised on its Twitter account and said it would investigate the online shopping ad which sparked outrage among observers on social media. Swedish clothing giant H&M today said it had withdrawn from sale a green hoodie with the inscription "coolest monkey in the jungle" after an ad featuring a black child triggered racism accusations.
