BIGBANG‘s G-Dragon is in hot water again.
During a recent concert in Macau, the BIGBANG rapper was spotted wearing a shirt printed with what is apparently the equivalent of the hard n-word in Dutch.
The shirt, tagged “Model REGGAE,” also features an offensive caricature of a Black person on the front. Bad enough on its own, but it gets worse.

Footage has since surfaced showing G-Dragon wearing the exact same shirt roughly 20 years ago.
This isn’t the first time the rapper has been here.

🚨What’s more unacceptable & disgusting about whole thing is that this racist was wearing same shirt 20 years ago & got all the lashings he deserved but still didn’t issue any apology instead he wore it again in big year of 2026

He has a documented history of saying the n-word on TV, as well as repeatedly facing accusations of appropriating Black culture, style, and music.

International fans are furious. Many are calling it racist, full stop, and saying that intent doesn’t make it okay. Others are heartbroken and disappointed by the artist.

For a veteran artist who is as heavily involved in fashion as he is, fans think this can’t be explained away by blaming his styling team.
