Michael Che Finally Pays Back the $1,000 Tommy Hilfiger Loaned Him

[@loonaticaaron]

Michael Che is a seriously underrated comic. His special "Michael Che Matters" was one of the best I've ever watched.

[@KM-pn1vk]

YES. BRUH I WAS CRYING

[@NickPCage]

nah he is a racist prick, and one of the reasons snl is dying.

[@hannahborstein7577]

frank beans Name one racist thing he said.

[@theyasminbarnes]

Aaron TV I agree

[@billiegrimm-stone3866]

Hannah Borstein he can't lol he probably just got pissed off by a joke and jumped on the most popular (and ridiculous) excuse for not liking Che. Like OK a white woman gets over excited and shouts the n word at one of his shows and he not only doesn't get upset, he DEFENDED her because he knew she didn't mean it how it sounded. Only a lackwit could think Che was a racist 😂

[@SamanthDarling]

Wow. Tommy Hilfiger seems like a dope guy! That's a really sweet thing. I mean it's New York, man. It can be a cut throat place and a lot of people feel they need to be kinda cold to be successful. Like think about what he said. "I'm doing this because somebody gave me a chance so I'm gonna give you one." A lot of people would die for that.

[@captprime9446]

I met tommy hilfiger before. He is such a jolly guy.

[@seymourglass26]

There's also a story where Tommy Hilfiger had Riley Hawk's (Tony Hawk's son and a professional skater himself) back when some businessman tried to fight him. Totals bonkers stuff. Edit: It was in Japan, which makes the story weirder, if nothing else.

[@lopez_flex1258]

“Idk if he missed the good old days” 😂😂😂☠️☠️

[@SonofGod75]

It's lots of stories of Tommy Hilfiger helping out cats in NY. People just don't get to hear them.

[@5445jedi]

jonathan flowers That's a myth. There are no reputable sources supporting what you're saying.

[@mikefisher6044]

jonathan flowers why would he ever do that for Michael Che then? A racist isn't going to give a random black guy 1000$ and a job with no press coverage they only do that shit when people see to cover up their racism

[@5445jedi]

mike fisher *mic drop*

[@15MinutesofChaos]

Yes, it is full of a shit. I remember in the 90s when the rumor started. And as a young girl, I had the sense to know that why would he say that when all of his campaigns were full of diversity. He had Tyrese, Aliyah, Usher, and Kadida Jones in his campaigns. If he didn't want black people to wear his clothes, he wouldn't have market to them. Tommy Hilfiger also helped Sean Combs launch his fashion line. I'm surprised he didn't speak up to his defense when this started. However, there is another rumor that Fubu actually started the rumor to take him out of the market. Guess karma is a bitch, because Tommy is still around but Fubu is not.

[@cashthefreshman]

Jonathans_ Fun-Zone I grew up in the 90’s and I heard people say the same thing. The truth is, on Oprah he said when he created his label he didn’t intend for African Americans to be the ones that brought his clothes to the forefront of pop culture.. or to some effect. He’s not racist though, he hand picks his models.. (at least he did back then) so Tyrese, Tyson Beckford, Beyonce’ and other black Tommy models have been hand picked by the man himself.

[@ValerieVfc]

Such a natural, he can make every exchange funny. It'd be interesting if Tommy responds to this.

Because he finally pays his loan back? It doesn't take much to be a beautiful human being these days, right?

[@angelgoddessvibes5364]

I'm going to start wearing Tommy Hilfiger now. This story made me a fan.

[@sesh6425]

FYI Tommy Hilfiger's son who bought the shirt goes by Ricky Hil and has a dope song with the weeknd called nomads

[@habso2838]

LOL He literally didn't say a single racist joke??!?? All you guys in the comments section are just super uncomfortable (like jimmy is) because Michael is pointing out shit that black people legitimately worry about... like that American flag joke

[@HebrewGypsy]

thank you!!

[@kennygwalk5328]

andhabs actually I'm just happy that people can change. Tommy Hilfiger really didn't like black people in the 90s lol

[@gregakagreat]

ikr

[@Ace1derDaDon]

Kenneth Wright that was all a lie, he never didn't like black people

[@Iamnotasuit]

He came out and said that he didn't want black people to wear his clothes.

[@woodsylcfc]

Well that's one way to crush the "Tommy Hilfiger is a racist" rumour

[@nobytes2]

Yeah not sure how that got started but it was a false rumor or something he said misenterpreted.

[@jwdathefax377]

@@nobytes2 I believe it was more about the people who work for him, like the recent racist Gucci sweater thing.

[@aergdr]

Wow a major designer gives you a job and 1000 dollars and you run away with it. He's lucky he made it as a comedian otherwise he will forever regret that moment

[@weed2kr]

He likely realized it just wasn't something he wanted to do. If this is so he would of regretted it even more if he took the job, prevented someone else from getting it, then end up abandoning the fashion career later down the road.

[@chillhomie7]

theres no justifying it lool he could have been a designer by day and comedian by night until he got popular. It beats selling T-shirts on the streets of NYC

[@weed2kr]

Its not about that... If he took that job, he would be keeping someone else from getting that job. By leaving he opened it up to someone else who may of wanted it more.

[@IMSiegfried]

but that's not why he didn't go back.
