Kim Kardashian is getting dragged for using jailed rappers song in new SKIMS ad, here’s why
They're not holding back
Kim Kardashian is facing some major backlash this March. If there’s one reality star who knows how to cause a stir online, we can count on Kimmy. But, this time we’re not sure if she had the intention of disappointing people with her latest Instagram post. Kim’s often been hailed a marketing genius but this latest move is one that’s getting her dragged – big time!
Kim takes to the ‘gram to promote SKIMS
It’s safe to say Kim turned heads with her latest SKIMS swimwear campaign.
The Kardashians star stuns in a BTS video from the SKIMS shoot as she strikes poses on a beach in the Bahamas.
Kim’s living her best beach life in the shots – sun shining and coconut water in hand.
But, there’s one element of the promo clip that has people raising eyebrows, and that’s the audio she opted for.
Kim captions the video: “Skims Swim Bahamas shoot,” and adds a Tory Lanez song, The Color Violet, to her post.

Kardashians star gets dragged in the comments
While a lot of people are busy admiring Kim’s bikinis, her looks, and her idyllic photoshoot location, others are clocking on to the song she used – and some aren’t happy about it.
Lots of people express their disappointment in the comments section. One wrote: “This is a wild song choice.”
Why is using The Color Violet controversial you ask? Well, Tory Lanez is currently serving a prison sentence.
He was sentenced to 10 years in jail in 2023 for the shooting of fellow musician Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Kim’s post has seemingly sparked a lot of controversy. Her comments are also filled with people who clearly support the incarcerated rapper. They write: “Free Tory” and “#freetorylanez.”
