Wu-Tang Clan T-shirts Are Infuriating Chinese Officials Billboard 2/4/2021 Wu-Tang Clan
A ruckus brought by China over Canadian T-shirts bearing an altered logo of the New York hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan continued Wednesday (Feb. 3), with China’s Foreign Ministry saying it didn’t buy Canada’s explanation that the shirts were not an insult linked to the coronavirus.
Canada’s Foreign Ministry said this week that the shirts using the “W” logo of the Wu-Tang Clan but with the group’s name replaced with “Wuhan” was not intended as a slight. It apologized for any misunderstanding.
The Chinese-made T-shirts were reportedly ordered last summer by someone at the Canadian Embassy in Beijing and word of them began circulating recently on the internet in China.
The Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most legendary rap groups in Hip Hop. During their time on top of the game, members of the Wu not only saw success together but in their respective solo careers too, like Ghostface Killah, whose classic 1996 album
Ironman made him a household name.
New York rapper Daytona is paying homage to that magical time with an exclusive merchandise collection inspired by Ghost’s classic
Ironman collaboration with Raekwon and Cappadonna titled “Daytona 500.” The collection features a t-shirt and hooded sweatshirt emblazoned with a logo with characters from anime shows
Sailor Moon and
Speed Racer.
By many accounts, Washington, D.C. has been a very welcoming place for rap artists. Recent concerts featuring Bone Thugs 'N' Harmony, Mos Def, Immortal Technique and even the Roots here at AU were well attended, and artists like Beanie Sigel have talked the city up in the press.

Selena, sheâd become the highest-paid Latina actress in Hollywood history and had no less than three new movies in the works. âWaiting for Tonight,â her dance-infused 1999 single, had become an anthem for the new millennium and was nominated for a Grammy. And she was about to make fashion history, thanks to a certain plunging Versace dress. In hindsight, given how long sheâs been a multihyphenate, Lopezâs early ambidextrousness wasnât one bit surprising. In fact, as she told
