01:08due to it pertaining to a period of enslavement and freedom in the country.

01:13Many people were furious that Michael was using the name without understanding why it would be offensive to Caribbean people,

01:19especially because he doesn't appear to have Trinidadian roots himself.

01:24He released a statement on his Instagram page to address this and said,

01:28I just want to say on behalf of myself and my partners,

01:31our intention was never to offend or hurt a culture we love and respect and hope to shine a light on it.

01:37He continued,

01:49We sincerely apologize and look forward to introducing a brand we can all be proud of.
