As someone who seemingly loves all things urban fashion, AKA has been surprisingly quiet about one of the brands he has previously worn being embroiled in a child porn scandal. 👀
A few initial Instagram apologies were posted in the wake of the storm but the brand later issued a statement admitting to “a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility”.The brand also said it would reach out to organisations that specialise in child protection and aim at ending child abuse and exploitation.
“The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalise child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period,” she wrote. “As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand,” the star posted to her account, which has 74 million followers.
