Fashion company Tory Burch promoted its spring/summer 2017 collection with a video featuring white models dancing to “Juju on that Beat” by Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayion McCall. The ad was criticized because the song was created and made popular by young black people, yet didn’t feature one single African American.

One awkward moment in the video featured the white models dancing to the lyrics “and you know my hair nappy.” The ad also included a monkey-shaped handbag. The video was eventually pulled, and Burch apologized for it, saying, “I personally feel badly if this hurt anyone, and I’m truly sorry.”
