A lot of shirts and sweatshirts out there have some pretty questionable phrases printed on them, but online fashion retailer Revolve is catching all kinds of hell right now for selling a sweatshirt that is…not very well thought out.

The sweatshirt in question, from the brand LPA, reads: “Being fat is not beautiful — It’s an excuse,” and under the quote, says: “as said to @palomija,” referencing a comment left on plus-size model Paloma Elsesser’s Instagram.

Twitter has a lot of feelings about the $168 garment, as well as the model wearing it:

Florence Given, a London-based artist, got in touch with LPA about the sweatshirts and posted the conversation on Instagram:

Apparently, the point of the shirt was to collaborate with celebrities to shed light on how hurtful internet trolls can be and donate all proceeds to charity, but instead, the end result came out screaming a very different message.

The other designs were to feature similar quotes from Emily Ratajkowski, Lena Dunham — “Horrible Result of Modern Feminism,” Suki Waterhouse — “If you translated a bum onto her face, she’d have a better face,” and Cara Delevingne — “Too boney to be boned.”

However, as a result of the backlash, Dunham took to Instagram to announce that she wasn’t going to be involved in the collaboration anymore. She explained:

“I cannot support this collaboration or lend my name to it in any way. I am deeply disappointed in @revolve’s handling of a sensitive topic and a collaboration rooted in reclaiming the words of internet trolls to celebrate the beauty in diversity and bodies and experiences that aren’t the industry norm.”

Revolve told Yahoo Lifestyle the sweatshirts were intended “as a direct commentary on the modern day ‘normality’ of cyber-bullying and the shared desire to create a community for those most affected by the epidemic.

“We at Revolve sincerely apologize to all those involved – particularly Lena, Emily, Cara, Suki and Paloma – our loyal customers, and the community as a whole for this error,” they added. “The collection has been pulled. We are proud to donate $20,000 to ‘Girls Write Now’ in the hopes that those who need it can still benefit from what was to be a meaningful, insightful and impactful collaboration by LPA.”

Which rapper is the richest of them all? 

Jay-Z (born Shawn Carter) and Diddy (born Sean John Combs) have clinched the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on Forbes’ 2018 list of the world’s highest-paid hip-hop artists. 

Hov tops the list with an astounding $76.5 million haul that includes revenue generated from the release of 4:44 and a sold-out tour. His 2017-2018 income is a drop in the bucket compared to his estimated $900 million net worth. 

Diddy made $12 million less than the Roc Nation founder, but his $65 million yield from business ventures including Ciroc vodka, DeLeon tequila and Aquahydrate alkaline water was still good enough for the runner-up spot.

Kendrick Lamar, Drake and J. Cole round out the top 5, each having earned $58 million, $47 million and $35.5 million, respectively. 

Forbes reports that Nas had the biggest financial year of his career thanks to investments in Silicon Valley cash cows and online media. The 44-year-old multi-platinum artist made the the list for the first time in a quarter-century with an impressive $35 million haul that puts him just behind Cole. 

Check out this year’s top ten highest-paid rappers below: 

10. Kanye West – $27.5 Million

9. Future – $30 Million

8. Pitbull – $32 Million

7. Nas – $35 Million (Tied With Dr. Dre) 

6. Dr Dre. – $35 Million (Tied With Nas)

5. J. Cole – $35.5 Million

4. Drake – $47 Million

3. Kendrick Lamar – $58 Million

2. Diddy – $64 Million

1. Jay-Z $76.5 Million

Forza Horizon 4 is due out October 2nd and the demo should be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace by the time you’re reading this. This time around, the team is taking its high-revving action to the countryside of Great Britain and there’s no better way to do that than in ten iconic cars of the most famous Brit in the world. Forza Horizon 4 is letting you push the red line like James Bond himself.

Adding to the 450+ cars already in the game, the Bond Pack is heavy on the Aston Martins, reaching all the way back to Sean Connery’s 1964 DB5 and checking off several other DBs along the way. 

Of course, you can’t have a Bond pack without peppering in some BMWs and Jaguars in there too and Forza is covering all their bases. Here’s the complete list of included cars:

• 1964 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DB5
• 1969 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DBS
• 1974 James Bond Edition AMC Hornet X Hatchback
• 1977 James Bond Edition Lotus Esprit S1
• 1981 James Bond Edition Citroën 2CV6
• 1986 James Bond Edition Aston Martin V8
• 1999 James Bond Edition BMW Z8
• 2008 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DBS
• 2010 James Bond Edition Jaguar C-X75
• 2015 James Bond Edition Aston Martin DB10

Those Astons are well and good but we may be most excited to take that 1977 Lotus Esprit out for a spin, though we don’t have high hopes about its submarine capabilities. We were happy to hear that, even though we won’t be able to use the Bond-style gadgets while playing the game, many of them would remain intact for you to peruse in the Forzavista mode that lets you get out and ogle these beauties properly. 

You can check out the official story from Microsoft here and download the Forza Horizon 4 demo here or on your Xbox One itself when it’s available. As for getting your hands on these cars IRL, you better start saving now. 

As we all know, Cardi B tried to fight Nicki Minaj at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS party last week, where she tried to bitch-slap the Chun-Li rapper and threw her shoe across the room, but Nicki was like “Nah, girl. I’m good,” and Cardi ended up getting kicked out of the party after getting whacked on the head.

Apparently, the catfight was Cardi confronting Nicki for allegedly talking shit about her baby and telling other artists not to work with her. But Christina Aguilera—who was performing at the event when the fight happened—thinks she started the fight. 

Okay, Xtina.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, the singer jokingly said she heard the fight break out as she was performing her song “Fighter,” and said it was “so appropriate. I was like, ‘Oh, my God! That’s genius! My music makes people feel…it’s invoking passion!'”

She also added that Cardi must have gotten a little too excited when she heard her “Migos version of ‘Genie in a Bottle.'” You know, because her husband, Offset, is in the group. 

What the hell does a “Migos version” mean? Did she rewrite the lyrics to “Genie in a Bottle” and make it about weed?

Anyway, even though she’s only joking about starting the fight, she should stay out of it completely unless she wants to be the next one dodging a shoe.

Remember when we introduced you to the “cage” lingerie trend? Well, the complicated look certainly seems to be picking up steam, as we’ve just spotted it on none other than Gigi Hadid during Rihanna’s runway show for her Savage x Fenty line. The trend boasts criss-cross details that resemble a cage, and can be seen on Hadid’s bra and underwear during the over-the-top runway show, which included interpretive dancing. (Cape and knee-high stockings optional). 

Gigi’s sister Bella also showed off another one of Rihanna’s beautiful creations: a bra with corset detailing and a lacy skirt attached to a garter belt. Meanwhile, the woman of the hour, Rihanna, took her bow in a ruched brown dress and strappy heels. Scroll down to see looks from the new Savage x Fenty show. 

Over the past few months, we’ve introduced you to a plethora of lingerie and underwear trends. You might not have known that cage underwear is a thing and string undergarments are popular again, but when we spot a “complicated” or interesting lingerie trend we’re here to share it. Today we’re adding to the list and showing you the latest trend to spark our attention. Enter naked underwear, well let’s not limit it to underwear we’ve also seen the look designed on bras as well.

So what exactly is naked underwear? Just what you’re picturing, lingerie made to have an illusion of looking bare, barely there or see-through. This can be through mesh lining or embellishments with slivers of “naked” details. Popular lingerie brands like Fleur du Mal and For Love & Lemons are leading the pack designing styles like the Georgi panties and below Lili thong. Enough with the explanation, scroll down to see the newest undergarments trend to hit the lingerie world.
