AceShowbiz - Joe Budden is among those who criticized Virgil Abloh for his controversial $50 donation which was "for kids in the streets that need a [sic] bail funds for the George Floyd protests." Mocking the Off-White designer, Joe shared an edited photo of Virgil in addition to slamming him on Twitter.

"Y'all still buying 'Off White' ? Whole different meaning now huh lol," so Joe wrote to his followers on Monday, June 1 after Virgil faced backlash over the amount of his donation. In a separate post, Joe continued taking aim at Virgil, "Virgil's response was the wild part… 'i did that to inspire the brokies' lol smh."

As if that was not enough, Joe took to his Instagram account to further make fun of the Louis Vuitton men's artistic director. He posted a picture of Virgil's face being edited to a $50 bill.

Virgil landed in hot water after sharing a screenshot on Instagram Story which suggested that he donated $50 "for kids in the streets that need a [sic] bail funds for the George Floyd protests." Providing details, he wrote in another post, "more light before a narrative forms around false assumptions ~ around the donation. the #50 donation as was described in a recent screenshot was apart of matching funds moment of friends i saw in my timeline."

"i declared that in the post itself. the concept of 'matching funds' with friend was meant to inspire other to do the same," he added. "i am in support of a group of friends in Miami and that was an act of solidarity to the BLM movement @fempowermia."

Later, he posted a lengthy apology letter in which he said, "I apologize that my comments yesterday appeared as if my main concerns are anything other than full solidarity with the movements against police violence, racism, and inequality."

In response to the criticism over his donations, the Off-White designer said, "I also joined a social media chain of friends who were matching $50 donations. I apologize that appeared to some as if that was my only donation to these important causes."

He also expressed, "I will continue to donate more and will continue to use my voice to urge peers to do the same," he went on. "I was on the fence about publicizing total dollar amounts because I didn't want to look like I'm glorifying only higher amounts or that I want to be applauded for it. If you know me, you know that's not me."
