New York fashion icon Dapper Dan is going to have a face-to-face with the CEO of Gucci. The veteran designer has stepped forward to share his feelings toward the company’s controversial blackface apparel.

Dan went to Instagram Sunday (February 10) to reveal what’s getting ready to go down.

No honor is higher than loyalty. @FloydMayweather, thanks for allowing me to dress you for 16 years, and for always coming to the hood. It was so great to see you again today. #Harlem and I salute you—our champion.

Thank you @Diddy! Thank you @Nas! Your support is very special to me, because you both know the dark side of the struggle in this business. The public only sees the light side, IF we manage to get to the light side. I have no regrets about the 30 years that it took for me to get to where I am now. Whatever was taken from me, I will get back. God is refereeing this game. #Harlem

In the meantime, rappers like T.I. and Waka Flocka Flame have encouraged people to start looking into black-owned fashion choices.
