T.I., why promote a brand you don’t own anyway?
T.I.’s new “Swing Ya Rag” video has been shot but won’t ever be shown on BET or MTV.
The video was shot many weeks ago, but Gucci and Louis Vuitton didn’t want their products in the video. What a smack in the face.
I thought it was stupid from moment one for T.I. to do a song promoting brands that he has no stock or interest in. I think its stupid for any of these artist in this day and age to promote these huge, high priced items that most of their supporter’s can’t afford or pronounce. Look at Cristal, they don’t want you drinking their champagne. Look at Belvedere. Shout Sean John, shout out Rocawear hell shout out Akoo negro you own it! CLICK HERE TO READ WHAT LIL CLIFF SAID
“We did it, and it came out hot,” Tip said of the video. “Louis [Vuitton] and Gucci started trippin’ about it. They were saying we were infringing, in one way or another. They weren’t happy about it. They didn’t want it to come out. But it’s hot, though.” So you recorded a song, filmed a video for it and its shut down because you don’t own the sh!t you were promoting. Whose out, T.I. and Swizz, that’s who.

On October 22, 2008 at 9:12 pmI knew it was coming. Brands like Louis Vuittion & Gucci are very strict about who promotes or wears their products in public.
I remember when they sued Dave Narvarro for wearing an LV guitar strap at a concert.
