FUBU CEO Daymond John on how homophobia affected the fashion line in the ‘90s: “Nobody wanted to talk to us”
So, we were being almost harassed by some of our friends like, ‘Yo, [I] see y’all doing that clothing sh*t. Yo, y’all alright?’ And so we came up by ourselves because nobody wanted to talk to us.
Imagine you out there, one of our boys is moving kilos, the DMX of Belly, and we up there talking ‘bout, ‘Yo, I’m about to go make this strawberry pattern, son.
You gotta see this hoodie it’s gonna make.’ We came up realizing nobody wanted to mess with us for a while until they started to hear we were doing $350 [million] a year.A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)Subscribe to our newsletter for a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)A post shared by FUBU (@fubu)Shirtless serves, crop top eleganza, & muscular V-necks ruled the red carpet this week..
